I had A friends girl friend tell me she was wicca she said they worship mother earth and beleave all people and animals are related anyone know about this?
Reconstructionist religion trying to bring back pre-Christian British pagan traditions.
Started by a man named Gardner. It worships the idea of a God and a Goddess. Heavy emphasis on being in tune with nature, writing your own prayers (which they call "spells") with more emphasis on practical requests ('find me love/money/etc') and all manner of pageantry e.g. robes candles incense etc.
Gardner was a nudist, so he often suggested people get nekked when they do these rituals.
Their notion of ethics is basically the Golden Rule along with the idea that whatever you do, good or bad, returns to you three fold.
Oh wiccans...
I mean, I guess I get it..
They are not all the same.
The only thing I really take from them is the "Three Fold Law"
Its states:
"Any energy you send out, you get back times 3"
Its a good "guideline" to follow.
Do no harm is also a motto for them. Lots are vegan, a lot of them practice herbal healing etc. Most don't wear leather, etc.
I practice a lot of herbal healing, aromatherapy, organic eating, etc besides prayer to God of course. I try to use organic things, instead of chemical based medicine, etc. A lot of so called witches got burned at the stake for doing that though, because it took business away from doctors who were in the 'drug' business....so goes folklore.
Hey Annie, todays pharmacologicals (big pharma I call 'em) don't burn us naturalists at the stake anymore, they just get the FDA to put the chains on them natural supplements!
And isn't it amazing that at least half the time given to them drug commercials are all about the terrible side effects? The natural whole food supplements don;t even come NEAR the crap that's in them big pharma drugs!
Don't get me wrong, when you need em and there isn't a way out, your left with puttin some "poison" in ya. It's just sad the statistics of the amount of deaths due to drugs... and I'm talking about the death statistics of the ones taken as prescribed by doctors, is so staggeringly high!!
Ok, rant and derail now over!
Besides, any second now and Fishing Addict will straighten me all out!
:swords:
Oh trust me, when I need an antibiotic for strep thoat, I want the big dose that will work. I'm not goin' natural on that one...lol.
And I know what you mean....the pham.drug companies rule the world.
And you're correct my brother od'd on prescription drugs that were his own. He just forgot what he had already taken. And I've heard on the news that the biggest death rate of people taking their own meds, incorrectly by accident rather than for recreational purposes.
Lord, I cannot wait to we get to heaven, can you?:snowman:
I may have stated my point a lil askew,
I meant that some people die from taking thier meds exactly as prescribed, and as a result of the side effects themselves, NOT from overdose or other error on the part of the patient!
Yeah, I hope we see Him real soon!
Merry Christmas sis!

Herbal healing? Like smokin' the devils lettuce?

What side effects do (many of) the supplements have? Very little.
Fixed it for ya
Again, the best bet is to eat unprocessed food and be active with regular anaerobic interval exercise. Almost all prescription drugs and suppliments are not needed if you live with in your body's means, so to speak.
A hearty amen from me on this. It's just a shame most good, healthy (sometimes organic, sometimes not) food carries a price tag too high for some of us to abide. The wife and I call Whole Foods "whole paycheck"! With a little self study and finding what is depleted in your own body is a good route to take for picking up a few key supplements that even non-processed foods don't have as well as they did in years gone by.
From bronchitis, I'm on antibiotics for the next days, consequently I'm boosting the probiotics by an extra billion live cultures (the ones like acidipholos, etc) to assist the colon.
Not to stir the pot or derail an already derailed thread, but don't get me goin about whole milk, now devoid of the once healthy enzymes that assisted protein absorption, now killed by 'pasteurization'.
Ok, enough for now. We'll see each other on this later !
Peace!
