This letter is from the column "Dear Abby." Dr. Kevorkian is also one of my
heroes.
DEAR ABBY: A hero? Mine is a man who saw people living with endless,
excruciating pain and helped them to suffer no more. His were courageous acts of
love and compassion, performed with the knowledge that there could be a
horrendous price to pay. For this, he was labeled a "murderer" and sent to
prison, his voice silenced and his work ended. It's Jack Kevorkian. -- HELEN G.

Info on tools and postures please.

Hi everyone,
If I remember correctly this is a group of sometimes very serious folks that know their craft well. I am studying Gardnerian Wicca with a teacher. My problem is I am having a hard time finding a good source for exactly what tools are used and how they are used. I would also like to know more about the god and goddess postures. I have just recently became aware of them and didn't know there was a difference before this week. One source on the internet tells how the pentacle altar tile is used to charge the ritual tools before a ritual, but when I ask a man that was suppose to be Wiccan he told me they don't use them. When I ask him then just what ritual tools they did use he told me that only the initates were privileged with that information. I am sitting there thinking, okay so what is a student suppose to use for tools in the meantime.
I have studied Celtic Greenwitch with a teacher for 8 1/2 months, then we had a communication problem and it all feel apart. I have recently started with a Gardnerian teacher and I think she assumes I know the tools already even though I had told her about all the conflicting information I have experienced. Since I still feel like I don't have the correct information I would greatly appreicate any information on the subject of tools and postures used in Gardnerian Wicca.

I don't follow Gardernarian Wicca, but I do consider myself Wiccan. I am not sure if I will answer what it is you were asking for but this is what I do.
To cleanse my tools I let them sit in moonlight for tools with a feminine aspect and those with masculine in the sun. You can also cleanse and consecrate using the four elements, earth (salt or dirt), air (incense), fire (incense or lit candle) and water. A simple washing them also works as does burying them in dirt. Just be careful of what they are made of, some things don't do well in water or dirt :)
The tools I use most often are my chalice, cauldron, god and goddess candles, quarter candles, incense, oils, besom when needed. When we cast a circle for ritual, my entire coven casts it together so we don't really use a wand or athame. We no longer do the casting three times thing either. That is just a matter of what you like to do. On my personal altar for element I have a corresponding item. North-pentacle that I made, East-very small broom and wand that was given to me, fire, red stones and water I have shells and a very small crystal ball my son got for me. these things are all minature in size so they are perfect for my small altar.
Hope you can find someone to answer your question specifically.
BB,
Annette

Hecate

Here is an excerpt from a kool site I found. I am posting the link after,
Gae
Thou stands before
the gates of Hecate's Shrine.
Close thy eyes and think of a three-way-crosspath,
where thou stands.
See the moon as the only shape at the darkened sky.
Imagine that thou carries food with thee as sacrifice.
Lay the offerings in the middle of the imagined crossway
and speak out loud or in mind:
Hail to thee, Hecate, Mother of Old
Hail to thee, Artemis of the crossroads,
Trivia, Goddess of the three roads,
let me walk the ancient path again
Hail to thee, Propylaia,
let me enter through thy sacred gate
Hail to thee, Kleidouchos,
lend me thy keyes for vision
Hail to thee, Propolos,
send me thy heavenly guidance and aid
Hail to thee, mighty Phosphoros,
send light and love my darkened ways.
Hail to thee, mighty Mother of Old,
accept my sacrifice and let me dare to enter

>Sepulchral One, celebrating the Bakchic Mysteries among the Souls of the Dead,

Original Text: Orphic Hymn, Translation by Adam Forrest
Another translation of the same greek text:
You, of roads and crossways,
Of heaven, of earth, and sea as well.
You, the saffron-clad, among the tombs,
Dancing with dead souls the Bacchic rite.
You, daughter of Perses, lover of desolation,
Taking joy in deer and dogs, in the night.
You, terrible Queen! Devourer of beasts!
Ungirded, possessed of form unapproachable!
You, bull-huntress, universal sovereign Empress:
You mountain-roaming guide, and bride, and nursemaid,
I entreat, O Maiden, your presence at these
sacred rites,With grace to the Oxherd and a
joyful heart eternal.

Merry meet everyone, I am new to the craft an I am looking for some help on actually getting started,
I am the kind of person who works on their own with anything and so I would like some step by step instructions on how I can start my path that I have choosen but I am a little nervous that I may do something wrong I have most of the items needed for doing rituals, spells etc but I think I need a little support from others from the group.
I would lso like to thank everyone for the posts that have been posted as I have enjoyed reading them all and there are some really fantastic posts that have been very interesting, anyway I would be very great if anyone is prepared to help me get myself going, but I need to go back to the basics again because i think I've jumped ahead of myself
Thank you very much for your time i would be very grateful
Blessed Be everyone

Re: Political Candidates and Faith-Based Questions

This is a very good resource; thank you for providing it! It is, however, unfortunate that in this day and age that knowing the religious background and beliefs of a political candidate is so vital--but it is necessary when politicians, rather than embracing this country as an inclusive diverse republic, desire nothing more than to make it an exclusive theocracy.
BB,
