Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.

Restriction/approval/denial shall include review by at least two “subject matter expert” employees (e.g. DAI Security Chief, DAI STG Committee Chair, DAI Religious Practices Coordinator, facility Security Director, facility Chaplain). Items containing religious symbols with potential dual meaning (e.g. STG identifiers) may be permitted on a case-by-case basis. For religious accommodation in the least restrictive means, DAI may require additional limitations (e.g. in-cell/room use only; not openly displayed) on a case-by-case basis above-and-beyond the generalized specifications established in this document. Any individualized accommodations established in this manner shall be documented in DOC-2075. *RESTRICTIVE HOUSING (RH) USE ITEMS: Personal religious property shall be allowed consistent with DAI 303.00.02 and 309.20.03. Least restrictive accommodation shall be assessed by the Chaplain/designee and Restrictive Housing supervisor, based upon the individual’s behavior and safety (to include clinical or medical observation).

With prior approval, pastoral visitors may bring religious books/publications (including tarot cards) and other selected items (e.g., sacramental wine/beverage, sacramental bread, oil, etc.) for the purpose of providing spiritual counsel and rituals. All items are subject to security inspection. INMATES IN TEMPORARY STATUS (A&E/BARRACKS/DORMITORY/DCC HOLD): Facilities may limit total property, including religious property, due to space constraints and/or inmate transfer procedures.
  • Wiccan General Practices

    Wiccan General Practices

    Texas Local Council Covenant of the Goddess Wiccan General Practices Historical Roots to Modern Practice It has been suggested that the practices of Wicca have been performed since antiquity, but there is really no evidence to suggest that current-day Wicca is the same thing that our ancestors practiced. This does not mean that we don’t believe similar concepts or practice similar rites. People worshipped what they saw, the Sun, the Moon, stars, and constellations. They created Gods and Goddesses that looked like them. Modern Witches hold rituals according to the turning of the seasons, the tides of the moon, and personal needs. Most rituals are performed in a ritual space marked by a circle. We do not build church buildings to create this sacred, ritual space -- all Earth is sacred and in touch with the Goddess and so any place, indoors or out, may be consecrated for ritual use. The Circle Within this sacred circle, two main activities occur: celebration, and the practice of magic. Celebration is most important at the major seasonal holy days, the Sabbats. At these times, the myths of that particular holiday are enacted in ritual drama, and dancing, singing, feasting, and revelry are all part of the festivities. On these occasions we celebrate our oneness with life on Earth, as well as assimilating on the deepest level myths and archetypes which map and assist our own life-passages. When the celebration, teaching, or magical work is finished, the blessing of the Goddess (and God) is called into food and drink which are shared by all.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract: In this thesis, I seek to wed my experiences of activism, scholarship, and Pagan witchcraft community together through storied theory, in order to give an honest account of my own transformation through both scholarship and community action. I do this for many reasons. Because I want to honor the Queer interracial organizing community who saw me, built me up, opened my eyes and inspired in me an ethic of accountability and critical analysis of the world around me. Because I want to heed the call of scholars like Lisa Flores, Langford and Speight, Nakayama and Krizek to engage in reflexive scholarly praxes that explicitly seek to interrogate and disrupt colonialism and racism within the academy. Because I have felt so lonely and desperate in my search for a spiritual practice that resonates with me and doesn’t steal, erase, or perpetuate violence against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Communities.

Nature is holy. The body is holy. Sexuality is holy. The imagination is holy. Divinity is immanent in nature; it is within you as well as without.” -Margot Adler, Drawing Down the Moon, 2006 Introduction Spirituality is hugely varied across people and has been the root for much hatred and love. The purpose of all spirituality is to be closer to whatever one believes in the divine.
