    •  – ki – spirit, energy, mood, morale
    •  –  – way, path
  • as far as witchcraft and magic go , i have never met a witch i did not like , i have met a satanist i thought was quite twisted around though . i believe that we as humans posses "the Magic" itself , the magic of being ,and find it very sad that the main religion of this world has forced everyone to believe that practicing magic is a bad thing that only devil worshipers do , they do this because they are scared of how powerful we all can be on our own without there control and it seems the ones saying not to use magic ,use it themselves , i myself do not stand in any one belief system  ,i usually claim not to believe in anything at all so that in each moment i may be free to believe anything at all ,trusting myself wholeheartedly knowing this one has nothing to fear but my own ignorance of the truth ,so i have, my entire life, set out to find the truth, always as a child i felt all the adults where lying or not telling the truth or keeping some thing hidden and one day i would find out myself ,so, i listened a lot ,waiting for some one to slip and leak out the truth ,this never happened and i realized i was not the only one being kept in the dark ,so my quest for truth has led me down most every road and i say  however if i must choose to be something i choose to be a Jedi , a force sensitive , a champion for truth , peace ,and  freedom , i also feel that all technology is a form of black magic to keep us from needing to practice white magic ,say the "prison"cell phone keeps us from becoming telepathic.or the automobile keeps us from learning to remote transfer and so on

    it's ok ,i see this all changing soon

    all the symbols and rituals and such are just focusing tools and methods , it dose not matter what they are ,it matters what you are, basically i can work my magic without any thing at all , only  Faith ,Faith is all i ever need

    i love all your knowledge and insight  and wisdom we all share here

    thank you kingjeff for getting over here to padawans and sharing ,please keep it rolling

    thank you to all our new members please share whatever you feel like and know that i love and respect everyone, and there way,

    love and light ,Obi wan

    • The 13 principles of Wiccan belief:We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal Quarters and Cross Quarters.We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with nature in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept.We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary it is sometimes called‘supernatural’, but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifesting through polarity – as masculine and feminine – and that this same Creative Power lies in all people and functions through the interaction of the masculine and the feminine. We value neither above the other knowing each to be supportive of the other. We value sex as pleasure as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energy used in magical practice and religious worship.We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological worlds sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconsciousness, the Inner Planes etc – and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magical exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.
      We see religion, magic and wisdom in living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it – a world view and philosophy of life which we identify as Witchcraft – the Wiccan Way.
      Calling oneself ‘Witch’ does not make a Witch – but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Witch seek to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and without harm to others and in harmony with nature.We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness giving meaning to the Universe we know and our personal role within it.Our only animosity towards Christianity, or towards any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be ‘the only way’ and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the craft, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as ‘Satan’ or ‘the Devil’ as defined by Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another.We believe that we should seek within Nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.

  • Aww it's Yoda! I don't know if I ever told you that yoda came to me in a vision some time ago. I was like what the heck? I know it seems weird, but I swear it happened. I wonder if there's a race of beings that look like him. 

    Thanks so much for sharing the vid. It was definitely nice to see yoda again.

    Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

    He who keeps no secret has no depth; his heart is like a vessel turned upside down.

       from  http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/say/gayan_boulas.htm


    The secret of all attainment is centered in reserve. Spiritual or material, when a person has told his plans to others, he has let out the energy that he should have kept as a reservoir of power for the accomplishment of his object. ... The teaching, 'Be wise as a serpent,' may be interpreted, 'Be quiet as a serpent.' It is quietude that gives wisdom and power. The thought held in mind speaks to the mind of another, but the thought spoken out most often only reaches the ears of a person. Every plan has a period of development; and if man has power over his impulse, by retaining the thought silently in mind, he allows the plan to develop and to take all necessary changes that it may take for its culmination. But when the impulse expresses the thought, it so to speak 'puts out the flame,' thus hindering the development of the plan. The wise speak with their mind many times before they speak about it to anybody.

       ~~~ "Githa I, Sadhana 7, The Path of Attainnment", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)


    I say, "Without the control over your lips you will not be able to develop inspiration."  As a poet has said, "When the shell closes its lips, then the pearl develops in it." ... the more you are able to keep your secret in your heart, the greater you become.  You have more weight, your personality becomes more reliable, more dependable.  As it is said in Vadan that it is best to say something without saying.

       ~~~ "Sangatha II, Secrecy on the Path of Truth", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)


    As soon as a person thinks, 'I am more,' the doors of knowledge are closed. He will no more be able to widen his knowledge because automatically, the doors of his heart are closed the moment he says, 'I know.'

    Spiritual knowledge, the knowledge of life, is so intoxicating, so exalting, it gives such a great joy, that one begins to pour out one's knowledge before anyone who comes along as soon as this knowledge springs up. But if at that time the disciple could realize that he should conserve that kindling of the light, reserve it, keep it within himself and let it deepen, then his words would not be necessary and his presence would enlighten people. As soon as the spring rises and he pours forth what comes out of that spring in words, although on the one side his vanity will be satisfied, on the other side his energy will be exhausted. The little spring that had risen, he has poured out before others and he remains without power. This is why reserve is taught to the true disciple, the conserving of inspiration and power. The one who speaks is not always wise; it is the one who listens who is wise.

       from  http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/X/X_2_8.htm


    The more one knows the secret of the world the more one feels inclined to keep it secret. And the more one keeps secret what one knows the more life unfolds its secrets to one. ...  it must be remembered that the power of the body is nothing in comparison with the power of the mind. And the power of the one who keeps a secret is greater than the power of the giant who lifts a mountain. All that one holds is preserved, all that one lets go is dispersed.
