    It's not about whether or not your "meant to be a wiccan". Wicca is a religion is it's own right not just a bunch of people dabbling in the occult. Are people meant to be Christain, Muslem etc. Lots of people deal with weird stuff every day without converting to Paganism. An example of this stuff would help. But if you did decide to follow a Pagan path it would certainly increase your awareness of energy around you which would in turn make it easier to understand and deal with stuff that happens to you. Hope this helps.

    I disagree. Your points are valid for Paganism and some Pagan paths, but since Wicca isn't just a religion, but also a priesthood and a craft, and some people are called to it and some aren't, just as within those religions that have a separate priesthood and laity some are called to the priesthood and some aren't.

    ok here some of da things
    1. i used to keep having this dream where i was beside a kind of lake and this woman came out of da water and she put a symbol on my forehead.i wasnt scared and it was quite peaceful.i have since found out dat da symbol is one which is associated with wicca.
    2. quite often i can tell when "an incident"is going to happen.
    3. in many cases, if i really dont want something to happen then it wont.

    What was the symbol?

    Any examples? I'm not interrogating you! I'm curious, that's all. :)

    it was like a 3D star with a circle around it.

    well when i was in school,if i really didnt want to do a test to happen then it would usually turn out dat da teacher wouldn't be in or that we'd be given an extra day to study.once this happened for three days in a row and it only stopped when i actually studied for da test.

    A pentacle? Like my avatar?

    Can't say that we're the only ones that use that symbol.

    ye thats the one!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,314 ✭✭✭Talliesin


    Well, it is indeed used by the Wicca, but also by other witches, other magicians, and once upon a time by Christians. It also appears in the Tarot as one of the suits. As such it doesn't necessarily relate to Wicca.

    It's probably a sign that you should be using correct English and spelling and not this nu inglish or newspeak crap.

    Big Brother's Ingsoc Party (English Socialism) has perfected the uses of high technology to monitor the lives of its populace, and to insure unswerving loyalty through surveillance, propaganda and brainwashing. The government's most brilliant and most appalling project is the actual deconstruction of the English language into Newspeak, the language of the Party. Each successive edition of the Newspeak Dictionary has fewer words than its predecessor. By removing meaning and nuance from the vocabulary, the government hopes to eradicate seditious and anti-social thinking before it even has the chance to enter a person's mind. Without the vocabulary for revolution, there can be no revolution. For those who persist in thinking for themselves, so-called Thought Criminals, Ingsoc's stormtroopers, the Thought Police, are there to intervene, incarcerating the free-thinkers in the Ministry of Love, where they will be re-educated, or worse.

    I agree with your sentiments, especially in the case of someone who is considering doing magic at some point (acting with intent is reflected in how you write) but since he's not SHOUTING and may have dyslexia or not have English as his first language, and since it's not relevant to the topic, I suggest you take it to the English forum.

    This is a warning, further off-topic personal criticisms will result in moderator action.

    I have a lot of preminitions, if that is the right word to use to explain them. I don't, or rather, didn't like to think much of them, because I would assume that it is something that you would have to work to, to be in such a balanced state when you can feel something coming, so I didn't really talk of them and just accepted them.

    Recently while talking to a wise lady, she conveyed to me, that I shouldn't feel such a way, as I may have done the work, or the balancing, in a past life, and it could just be something I carry with me.

    I felt weird because I know people who work at having something like that, and I haven't done as much work, in that regard, and it felt as if I had cheated them or something.

    I wouldn't attribute that to being Wiccan or anything. In my eyes, Wiccan is a gate way to many paths for people like yourself Dude, and you need to research to find which one you want to follow, if any at all.

    I wouldn't advise getting too deep into visions without a well experienced person to show you what to do, cause it can send you mad.
