Ho> 1) What do You think about it? Ho> 2) Is there an existing coven where there are christian and pagan Ho> witches together? I think it's a great idea. In fact, I'm part of a similar circle already. We are Christian, post-Christian, sort-of-Wiccan (no formal trad), and one or two "open skeptics." It works very well indeed. We don't call ourselves a coven, though. Ho> 4) How do christian pagans live, gather, make their rituals? Ho> Are there any experiences? We feel our way in the dark, actually, drawing from a number of traditions--Wiccan, Native American, Celtic, transpersonal therapy, Shamanism. We always begin with a circle-casting involving smudging (covering in smoke) each other with a combination of herbs sacred to the Yaqui tradition; prayers to the Four Directions; then the Charge of the Goddess. We often do shamanic drumming and journeying, and/or have a Talking Stick ceremony. There's a wonderful book called _The Ceremonial Circle: Practice, Ritual, and Renewal for Personal and Community Healing_ by Sedonia Cahill and Joshua Halpern. They too talk about circles in many different traditions (Pagan, specifically Wiccan, men's and women's, Christian and post-Christian, etc.). I don't know if it's available in Germany or not, but if you can't find it and want it, perhaps we could talk again and make some arrangements. Pax tecum! Maito Sewa Yoleme ...

What an odd idea. After all, animals sense things like earthquakes before we do, perhaps it is a psychic mouse? Much more pleasant a thought than a ghost... :) 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Pat Haynes Area: MagickNet To: Valkyrie 5 Aug 94 14:44:12 Subject: Horts UpdReq Well, well, look who's here! > Hey...there are now five of us in the "Banned from > Runes/Asatru" club.
