TeaDidikai Celeblin Galadeneryn TeaDidikai Bastemhet How do you deal with the rage that starts to eat you up when the stupid upon stupid avalanches any attempt you are making at intellectual honesty? It usually involves repeating myself until they understand, or a good flyting. I do so enjoy a good flyting. Especially when it is well deserved. Deo man... can that girl give a flyting or what?
My stupid question: Flyting is...? |

TeaDidikai Namikikyo None at the moment. I was considering doing a little something-something if I figured them out or what they did, but I only thought there was one tradition that had them. How many traditions have them? Couldn't say. I know of at least three traditions that use the phrase, largely because they stem from CM practices. How many are out there is beyond me. Why would you want to use them?
It's something I wanted to do when I first started paganism, but I threw out that idea when I found Hellemos.
However, now that I'm back at square one and seeking again, I really want to try some of the things I missed out on to see if it works for me.
I just wanted to dip my toes in it before I jumped in, unless you think this is a bad idea? If so, I can take a step back and try to do something else.
A side question, What are CM practices? |

TeaDidikai Celeblin Galadeneryn Though I don't know if I've said it here before, but I love the Lokasenna. To pieces. It was well done. Do you think there is a lesson to be had about taking a Flyting from that?
I see the purpose of the flyting in the Lokasenna as Loki bringing the rest of the Aesir down a notch after they had done insult to him, however he went too far, to the point where he ignored the purpose (at least as I saw it) of his invective in an effort to hurl more of it, which resulted in Thor ending it.
As for taking, I think the early actions of the other Gods in the Lokasenna should serve as an example that sometimes, you should take a flyting when it's deserved. Loki comes in spouting invective from the beginning, and they still give him a seat and hear him out, even if Odhinn does try to give him the seat to please him so he stops. It's only later that Thor removes him. Yeah, Loki probably shouldn't have claimed to have slept with just about every Goddess there, but there was at least some acknowledgement of him being allowed to react in anger since he is angry, rather than having to withhold himself. |

TeaDidikai Some of these guardians include factions of YHVH's will. Others need the context of specific religions to make sense... so, trying it for the sake of trying it doesn't strike me as a good idea. At least, not within proper context.
Okay then, I'm glad I asked before I trusted the internet. whee Thank you very much, Tea.
Quote: Ceremonial practices. What is practiced currently has largely stemmed from The Golden Dawn and it's b*****d children. This isn't the end all be all, but it's what you're most likely to come across.
Oh. I'm not too big on the whole Big Ceremonial Magic kinda of things anyways.
I believe I'm much more of a Folk Magic kinda person, I suppose. |

The standard motto is "Don't call up what you can't put down".
I don't think you would be happy with blood thirsty beasties that are part of a Middle Eastern god's will running around the place. (And that's my polite address for them. )

But then, there's the question about if you should be practicing magic as well. |

Gho the Girl Evolutionay Gothik Theory Eh, better ask them what leads them to think so. Quote: Voodoo, Yeah, I've seen those dolls at borders bookstore that come with a book, I was hoping that there would be some other types of magical systems that don't include Voodoo, Any other types of magic that uses dolls? I'd be very cautious of magical implements sold at large chain stores. At best, it would probably be just a doll to feed the mass fluffyism, at worst, it could wreak unintended effects that could be quite damaging. Quote: hmmm, Objects do not die, maybe the soul forevers stays in the object until it breaks, or something like that? What if it gets fixed?
Ok. What kind of unintended effects would these be?
If the object gets fixed, either the soul goes back in the object or the soul is freed forever from the object and reincarnates or goes to whichever afterlife. |
