The fires of Hell burn bright In the middle of the night Waiting for an angel to fall No hope of salvation at all A poor lost soul Is swallowed up whole Consumed in the flames They are souls without names The fires are ablaze In this fiendish maze Consumed by guilt and shame There is no one else to blame The fires are aglow As you sink so low The Devil has cast his spell You face eternity in Hell *** author bio: Demonrobber I am 40 years old and live in Birmingham England. I am presently not working and spend time maintaining and improving my websites. My interests…

Earth, the mother giving birth Air, so free inside of me Fire higher, ignite your son Water Daughter, the Circle is one Spirit makes all four alive Spirit makes the elements five! *** author bio: Link (Anthony) 6538 Collins Avenue, #255 Miami Beach, FL 33141 USA [email protected] People often ask me why I chose the name Link. One important lesson for me this time around is to understand how all things “interconnect” — like noodles in the same cosmic broth. (Okay, I also wanted a really simple name that would not raise eye-brows in a mundane setting. Something like RunningBuffaloMoonFeather just doesn’t fit me…) Most of my writing focuses on…

In the sacred circle gather ‘round Where lost spirits are once ‘gain found With no beginning there can be no end Look outside yourself and call me “friend” When the daylight darkens and night falls swift When the skies are gray and the snow does drift In the circle there is hope and light To push back the fear of winter’s night When the days grow long and all is light the circle radiates with all its might our joy and gladness become our shield and a mighty power we can wield Come to the circle, feel the wisdom rise All here are welcome, love is the cord that ties…

Jesus, King Arthur, and the Journey of the Grail Author: Maurice Cotterell Bear & Co. 2006 Pages: 223 ISBN: 1591430534 This book was so hard for me to get involved in. The more I read, the more bored I became and I found myself putting it down more times than I picked it up. The entire book reminded of a knock off of The DaVinci Code. I mean, the content while different as this book literally was about the Grail, the ‘idea’, the ‘plot’ per say was the same to me as The DaVinci Code. I don’t like reading knock off books and this one will not be going on…

The Knights Templar in the Golden Age of Spain Author: Juan Garcia Atienza Destiny Books English translation copyright 2006 Pages: 226 ISBN: 1594770980 This book is about the rise and fall of the Knights Templar. A good read. I do feel it dragged out in some parts but I did like it. I found it fascinating to learn so much information about such a secret society. It was interesting how even so long ago, there was corruption, blackmailing, secrecy and power given to people that the more common folk were unaware existed. While reading this, it reminded very much of our government organizations of today, i.e. CIA, FBI and of…

The Benham Book of Palmistry Author: William G. Benham Career Press/New Age Books 2006 Pages: 378 ISBN: 1564148556 If you are new to Palmistry, this is not the book for you. While this book gives an abundance of information, it is just that that caused me to not like this book. There is too much information given. The writer is just in a constant flow of information, not just with words but pictures and there were times I became so confused that I ended up rereading pages over and over before I grasped what I was reading. This book I feel should have been broken down into a series of…

Sacred Plant Medicine: The Wisdom in Native American Herbalism Author: Stephen Harrod Buhner Bear & Company 2006 Pages: 190 ISBN: 1591430585 In this author, I have found a kindred spirit! Several times in life, I have been asked the question, if you could meet anyone you wanted, who would it be. If I was asked that question now, it would be Stephen Harrod Buhner, the author of this book. Being part Indian myself and raised Pagan, I have always had a great relationship with nature and all that she holds. I have often sat at the base of the tree and became in tune with the tree, falling into meditation…

I chose the name “Of nymphs and gnomes” for my column because I lived my teenage years as a rollercoaster ride, where one word would make me very powerful and feeling good, but another would make me feel like a worthless pile of nothing. So I guess what I’m trying to say with this title is that even though you feel like some awkward gnome who everyone stares at as they walk by, you will soon enough feel like a powerful nymph who is capable of so much. And who knows, probably when you’re feeling gnome-y someone surely perceives you as the nymph. Being a teen pagan is very challenging…

Removing our Kids from a Violent World There are violence, crime, pain, drugs and death all around us. It has become a part of society and we have begun the process of normalizing it into our everyday world. The video games, music videos and songs that depict violence are just unbelievable. So, if you are anything like me, as a parent there is a certain amount of anxiety you carry when thinking of your kids in the “real” world. You may be thinking, “What does this have to do with Paganism?” Well, it has everything to do with paganism and living a spiritual path. We, as adults, know we make…

Once, long before the age of man and dinosaur, the earth was an enchanted playground filled with magickal beings made up of elves, gnomes, and fairies. Although they were all different with a variety of talents and looks, they lived together happily. They were proud of their individual gifts and those of their fellow beings. The land was filled with happiness, love, and faith. The Goddess watched over her children and her heart overflowed with joy and love. Time began to pass and other feelings began to form between the magical beings. Feelings of envy, greed, and anger surfaced. Fights broke out. Magick was used for harm instead of good.…
