                     Religion.

       

      There are so many religions in this world and now we are establishing so many new sub religions and this process is going on.  This world and its people have divided themselves into religions and sub religions and now they have got separate religious books, separate religious places, separate way of living, separate attires, separate system of meeting each other, separate system of marriages and separate laws on divorce and maintenance of children and spouses.  All the religions have got their own system of worship and prayers.  Every child gets the religion in which he is born and very rarely people could change religion. 

               Actually the people of this world have been divided and now there seems no chance that they may unite and become one.  All efforts made till date to unite the religions and become one have failed.  We all are declaring that God is one, but still there are different religions and all the people have faith in their own religion and they do not believe that their prayer shall be accepted if they follow the methods prescribed in another religion.. 

               Religions had been playing good roles, but now they are dividing the people and they are becoming enemy of each other.  Some groups are turning terrorists and some are taking revenge through riots and therefore, in all parts in history of this man, the people in different religions had been fighting amongst each other and they had been killing innocent people and therefore, some roles of religions had not been good and even today, we are of the view that the next world war, if at all  is shall be there, it shall be fought amongst different religions and one religion shall be trying to write off the other religion.

              Time has come when somebody must come forward and unite all the religions and turn into one religion so that all these divisions of mankind could be abolished and if these divisions continue, one day this man shall destroy the man and all developments made update.  We all should pray before God and request Him to send a man of will who could unite all the people and turn them one.

            Have knowledge of all religions.

 

      If you want to know what God is, what are we to God, what is God to us and what should be the goal of our life, we should read all religious books which could be available to us irrespective of religion to which those books should belong.  If we call ourselves religious people, we should be having information about all the religions available on this earth.

        Time has come when religion should be just a guide and not anything more to us.  We must believe some basic things and those are that God is one and only one, we all are His children and we all are related to each other and we all are one family on this earth.  We should be honest and straightforward and we must not deceive any one around us nor we should be having any discrimination because when all are our relatives, then we must be considering them all equal before us and we should not exploit the position of the weak.

           When we read religious books of all religions we shall be surprised that all the religions are telling us the same things and there is no new or different life philosophy preached or introduced by any religion.  All the religions are telling us that we are children of one God and we all are near to each other and therefore, we must love all on the earth and must live life here like brothers and sisters.  If the teaching are one, we must try to learn to live like members of one family and we must see that what we had been doing in the past must be avoided now because we had been killing each other only because some people were belonging to another religion.  Religions are one and if they have got different names, it is only because that all the religions had been taking their birth at different places and at different time and date and even the creators were different.  But we must be happy and thankful to those who established these religions, that they did not make much differences and therefore, we must try to learn that we are one and therefore, we must bring a time on this earth when there should be no war on the basis of religions because such wars have already caused us much losses.  Had the people been asked or guided to read religious books of all the religion, we would have been better people and if we had failed in the past, we must learn a lesson from the past and we must start now.  And if need be we should introduce a syllabus for all the classes where we should teach religions to all the students and when we teach them religions, we must start picking out common principles from all the religious books. And that shall be the best course which we should adopt without any waste of time now.

Witchcraft is a religion that wasn’t founded by any single individual. It was a natural development in a world that was controlled by unknown forces of mysterious origins. It is believed that magick in its original form existed in the Paleolithic times that is almost twenty five thousand years ago!

Recent research has proved that Africa was the cradle of civilization. When people spread to other parts of the world, they began to develop different styles of worship and culture. As a result we have many different types of magickal religions that probably co-existed and thrived in different parts of the world.

In ancient times, people used to depend on crops and hunting for sustenance. As they worried about natural disasters and famine, it was only natural to start praying to deities who were assumed to be in charge of the future. They knew that the Sun, the moon and other planets influenced the weather patterns and the crop cycles. So they started praying to the Sun, the Moon and other deities such as the Fertility Goddess and the Hunter God. As people moved from one place to another, the traditions, beliefs, customs and the names of the Goddesses and Gods changed with them. Interestingly, we have several common deities in different magickal religions many thousands of miles apart.

Here are some of the different types of magickal religions:African Magick. As human civilization started to sprout and expand on this planet, witchcraft was born. There was no Messiah, no priests and no monolithic churches to take charge of private Gods. The people believed in the magick of nature and the power of the land to help them survive. As the number of humans expanded, the different ways in which they worshipped their unseen deities also expanded.

Africa was a rich land, full of dense forests and wild animals. The only way the inhabitants could help each other was through prayers and visualization techniques. Healers were in charge of helping the sick and wounded. They became more and more powerful. As people started moving around, these healers found new ways to help others from a distance. Voodoo was born. Later, as Christian missionaries found their way into this pristine land, they also managed to slander and vilify the African way of life. In their fervor to corral humans into their huge business of religion, they decided to describe everything that stood in their way as evil.

Rose Ariadne asked:


Wicca is a personal, positive religion that is based on respect of nature and celebration of all things that exist in the physical and ethereal world. Practitioners of Wicca follow the precepts of Shamanism, which is believed to be the first “religion” on Earth.

Most practitioners of Wicca commune with the Goddess and God during rituals that allow them to understand and guide these energies which created our Universe. These rituals are usually enhanced by the use to tools, chants, music, dancing, etc. that increases the practitioner’s mental acuity and intuition to high levels not easily available in most other religious practices.

These altered states of consciousness allowed human beings to communicate with the powerful energies of the Universe and persuade them to move in the direction of their intentions. Stated simply, many practitioners of Wicca are able to change the direction of their future. This ability of these practitioners is called Magick and the actions that are required to perform Magick are called Spells.

Wiccans use Magick to effect change in their lives as well as in the lives of others who request their help. By communing with the deities and listening to the messages from nature, they understand what needs to be done and go about doing it.

The most important rule of the Wicca (or the Craft as it is called) is that people can choose to do anything so long as it doesn’t harm anyone. Wiccans believe in reincarnation and the thee-fold Law which states that the effect of what we do to others will return to us three fold. As a result of this dogma, Wiccans usually stay away from negative Magick, for if they practice it, they will feel the devastating effects of their actions.

Wiccans are practitioners and not followers because they do not “follow” anyone. This way of life believes that each one of us is capable of communing and communicating with the Powerful energies that created life.

Magick is used in many ways. Some witches can use just their minds to control the energies. Others use tools such as the Athame, the Besom, the Wand, Chalice, etc to supplement the power of their own energies. Wicca is a very personal religion and communing with the Deities may be performed anywhere since the energies exist everywhere.

Most celebrations are held outdoors if possible because the Wicca practitioners believe that nature cleanses or purifies our surroundings easily. Also, communing with the deities mean communing with nature, so the best place for this meeting would be where most of the energies exist.

It is scientific fact that Religion has caused more death than saviours and has been the result of war, sorrow, anguish and hatred within people. However religion gives hope, hope that life is not a meaningless waste of time and more importantly hope that death is not a meaningless waste of time and disregarding the issue of religious existence the emotion it creates are real.It is unanimously recognised that the way in which the human race now treat each other is superior to the past. (slavery, torture, capital punishment). And through the years like it or not religion has been the force behind these changes. It was religion which first acknowledged that torture was a negative aspect of society and it was religion which gave people the courage to stand up for human right of freedom to the point of death and more recently it was religion to first state “all humans were created equal”. Although not fact, there is significant evidence suggesting religion is the source of moral dictation. And if this is true the condition of today’s modern society  clearly proves. “RELIGION IS GOOD” ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
