Science is Dead

secretsoftheserpent

Science is dead and we have killed it. It has delegitimized common sense. Science has become the new Catholic Inquisition. Anti-science is the new word for heretic. Science was meant to help us make choices not make the choice for us. Whales and many other animals are more valuable to us dead than alive so we hunt them. Trees are more valuable to us dead than alive so we chop them down and make lumber. The science inquisition consisting of media and technology has figured out that dead minds are more valuable than minds that think for themselves. They can make so much more money keeping people isolated on computers, television, video games and phones.

On Being a Minority Religion and Paths to Building Respect

The Druid's Garden

“I’m sorry, I’m unavailable to meet on that day.”

A pause, “well, why is that? This is an important meeting.”

“Because it is a major holiday for me, and I am taking a personal day to celebrate it.”

Another, longer pause. “Wait, your holiday is Halloween? That’s not a religious holiday.”

“No, my holiday is Samhain, which is a holiday dedicated to my ancestors. Modern Halloween traditions actually derived from this much older holiday.”

Another pause. “Can’t you celebrate it on another day?”

“No. The timing is critical to the celebration. Would I ask you to meet on Christmas or Easter?”

Another pause. “That’s not the same thing.”

The above interchange is a fairly common interaction fairly typical of my workplace experiences in being a minority religion, a druid, here in the USA. In fact, I had this exchange with someone just last week. Since this kind of thing seems…

Little Red Riding Hood

secretsoftheserpent

Everyone has heard the story Little Red Riding Hood, but no one knows what symbolism is trying to say. Everyone tries to say it has to do with natural cycles, puberty rites, erotic or romantic, and I have even seen where people say it has to do with rape. All wrong. Little Red Riding Hood came from Little Red Cap and it was a folklore, which means it was told verbally for thousands of years. As a story told verbally it probably did have to do with the culture and traditions of the people who were telling it. Once it was written down by Charles Perrault it had a whole new meaning. This is why the Brothers Grimm had to write a version too.

What are Secret Societies Worshipping?

secretsoftheserpent

If you have read my Friday the 13th post, you know this date has everything to do with the Knights Templar. Friday October 13, 1307 to be exact. This was the day that King Phillip the IV and the Vatican charged the Templars with heresy and started killing them off. The Templars supposedly were exterminated 7 years later on March 18, 1314. This is yet another lie of history. You are about to find out why all these secret societies are secret and why they decided to let the masses in.

Things Witches and Wizards Don’t Do

secretsoftheserpent

I have written a few post of what Witches and Wizards do, but I have not written a post on what they don’t do. There are certain things Witches and Wizards won’t do simply because it does not benefit them to do it. Not doing something can more powerful than actually doing something. Just like silence can be more powerful than speaking in certain situations. Here are a few things Witches and Wizards don’t do. If you can think of anymore leave them in the comments below. I would love to hear them.

Mary Magdalene

secretsoftheserpent

Mary Magdalene is one of the most demonized women in the history of the world. Why? Even woman of the world call her a prostitute and hoar without even asking why. The church has many things to hide with her and that is the first clue as to why she was demonized. If the truth got out about her, the fairy tale version of Christianity would crumble. The truth about her is slowly coming out. Hopefully I can speed things up a bit.

Baal

secretsoftheserpent

It is common practice in this world for the winners of war to write their version of history. This is also true when it comes to political, social and religious structures. Once a civilization is conquered, everything about that civilization is replaced, renamed or discredited. All the wars that have been fought on this planet, it is no wonder we can’t remember anything about our history. In this post I will bring back the true meaning of the Deity, Baal.

Magic is the Key

secretsoftheserpent

Every organism depends on its environment for success and growth. A person needs to make sense out of his or her world, when that need is frustrated again and again, you get what you see in the world today. Everywhere you have people telling others they can’t do that because they are not good enough, they are not good-looking enough or they are not smart enough. People treat others they way they treat themselves. That voice in our head is judging us all the time. This means we are in this environment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No wonder we can’t grow.

The Mystique and Lore of Sapphire’s

Good Witches Homestead

Amulets, Talismans, and Religious Beliefs

Sapphires figure prominently in numerous beliefs and traditions, both past and present. For centuries, sapphires have been used for alchemy, magic, healing rituals, and astrological prognostication.

Early priests and scholars believed that precious gemstones, including sapphires, had specific “virtues” that could be used to benefit man if their powers were properly harnessed. According to legend, Helen of Troy (c. 12th century B.C.) owned a large star sapphire, which was believed to hold the key to her desirability. The famous “seal” of King Solomon (c. 1000-931 B.C.) was legendary, not only because it was an inscribed sapphire, but also because it apparently gave him power over spirits in the air, earth, and underworld.

During the Hellenistic period (400-100 B.C.) when gemstones were associated with specific deities or occult powers, sapphires were routinely inscribed with the head of Jupiter (Zeus), the god of the sky. During this…
