<link>http://www.theosera.com/spiritual-articles/article/Introduction-to-Spiritualism.html</link>
<description><![CDATA["Spiritualism" is a religion that not many have heard  much about as it fell in popularity drastically in the mid twentieth century. However, a century ago, it was not only alive and thriving, but it was estimated to have millions of members worldwide. Due to the recent increase of interest in the paranormal and metaphysical, Spiritualism has once again arisen into popular culture, even if not directly named as such. Shows such as Medium, and the hit young adult novel series "Lily Dale" by Wendy...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[A History of the Pentagram]]></title>
<link>http://www.theosera.com/spiritual-articles/article/A-History-of-the-Pentagram.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[There are very few symbols today that cause such strong reactions as the pentagram, or five-pointed star. The symbol is ancient, found on clay from Palestine dating around 4,000 BCE, although current theory suggests that it might date back as far as 6,000 BCE, after arising from studying astronomical patterns in the Euphrates-Tigris region. 
Pentagram vs Pentacle; Upright and Inverse
Both the terms pentagram and pentacle originate from the Greek term "pente", which means five. Although the ter...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Following is an example of a Wiccan Magick Spell that can be used by anyone.  It is interesting to see how this magickal spell, when reviewed, shows a strong connection to very positive, kind, and desirable emotions and desires.
 
As the Wiccans have discussed, there is no intention or desire to harm others.  The other interesting factor to the Wiccan Magickal spells is how they utilize aspects of nature to help bring about the healing or kindness or love.
 
Generally speaking, different typ...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Magick of Wiccan Magick]]></title>
<link>http://www.theosera.com/spiritual-articles/article/The-Magick-of-Wiccan-Magick.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Take a closer look at Wiccan Magick.
Magick has been defined by Wiccan standards much differently than what one sees on television or through rumor and history.  It is "The art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with ones will."  It could be more simply stated as   "making desired change happen" or as "energy tending to change."
We currently live in a society which still does not recognize by its majorities that thought is the most powerful thing we have.  Nothing happens wit...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Origins of Wicca]]></title>
<link>http://www.theosera.com/spiritual-articles/article/The-Origins-of-Wicca.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Wiccan followers are members of either one of the oldest or one of the newest religions in the world. The determination would be in how you look at it.
Wicca can actually trace is origins all the way back to the celtic druids. Unfortunately, the druids did not keep writings of their religions. In fact, any writings that do exist of those early druids and their religion were accountings of it created by the Greeks and the Romans.
The Druid Religion was similar to that of the Native American Rel...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For a considerable amount of time, A?satrA?ar have tirelessly debated where they, as a unique sect within Pagandom, relate (or fail to relate) with their earth-spiritual peers. During the last few years, this debate has featured considerable critique concerning Wicca, from whence a fair number of recent A?satrA? practitioners had first nurtured their heathen spiritual development. At the other end of this spectrum lie, of course, the Wiccans, many of whom remain oblivious to the sometimes raging...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wicca. Witchcraft. The Path. The Craft. Whatever you call it, it's more than just a religion or magick, it's a way of life -- in perfect love and perfect trust. The philosophy of the religion (acknowledged as such by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986) can be overly simplified into "we are all one and we love life in all its forms." Everything has energy. Everything is interconnected.
As Starhawk said in "Spiral Dance ": Our practice arises from a deep, spiritual commitment to the earth, to healing...]]></description>
