POSTINGS
These postings are derived from the Research Group's chat pages found at :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Coven-of-Cythrawl/
The postings are growing more interesting as more and more people from around the world join in. With over 70 people on line, there is a lot of interesting topics always coming up and not just about Wicca. I'll place a link here to some of the postings I've copied over and if you are like what you see or are inclined to learn more, drop by the site and sign on.
I'll place them here by title and the posting number on the group site, so you can choose what you want to read and sign on and find the place if you want more. Hope you enjoy....
Before I start, I wanted to just mention that some of the postings come from all manner of sources and fitted into the conversations and lesson formats that are found in the Research Group and I have written a brief introduction to the dynamic evolutionary way that such knowledge is passed on from hand to hand. Go here to see "dynamic evolution of knowledge" and then come back and continue with some of the fabulous posting to make everyone think and pause for thought perhaps.

With Thanks
dynamic evolution of knowledge
It's very hard to write about arcane studies, or even chat about them and
many chat groups invariably get lost in a myriad of pedantics and arguments and
therefore, defeats the whole idea. The fact that we are all mature folk from all
manner of paths and beliefs, there is one strong factor, in us all being true
seekers wishing to learn from each other.
It became my goal to post interesting concepts and topics that remain as viable
tomorrow as they do today and yesterday. In fact that may be what people
actually want, instead of idle banter invariably going nowhere.
So, in filling in for useless ideology, I'm trying to constantly write and
source material from other areas that fits into a rather loose, but relevant
group of postings that can remain interesting to the knowledgeable, while
hopefully helping newcomers, (in a sort of lesson format that grows and takes
definite lines of expansion) into the nebulous depths of our chosen path, is
extremely difficult.
I also think that many of the old chaos writings, as well as Wiccan and Druidic
thoughts and feelings spell out some really interesting and startling paradigms
that should not be lost in the blackness of ancient scripts in an ever
increasing overloaded electronic network. Especially with notable thoughts
and comments started by old school chaotes, who were always the
"doers" of many of our fields and paths, and not the talkers. I
actually love the science of it all, even if we all move on, or laterally, from
pure chaos itself to perhaps our 'true' inner path we find on our long journey,
perhaps to one that is Spiritually more fulfilling for some, while others go to
more ritualistic forms - that is the beauty of self expression.
I feel that any and all good information and knowledge should be constantly
resurrected and perhaps embellished with yet still more lateral thinking from
each resurrection and thus, not only maintaining these truths of the past, but
also often enlivened into truths of today. Keeping everything alive and
dynamic so to speak, which is truthfully how our whole world has progressed
since time immemorial, not just in written knowledge, but more emphatically in
Evolution itself and the basic building blocks of DNA even. Constant evolution
being the key to the dynamics of life itself, not just knowldge being embelshed
and passed on ad infinitum. I have always wanted to put good, solid stuff,
tried and tested, onto this main website, (which almost grew of its own volition
once started) and this great group of readers who have come and visited these
pages in search of further knowledge and food for thought, is here for the sake
of us all, and those others that follow similar or parallel paths and not
pursuing or straying into the Harry Potter kingdoms.
I don't know how long I myself will be around keeping the faith so to speak and
sincerely and hopefully always wishing to only help any genuine seekers anywhere
in this world, but I will certainly try and
keep going for as long as I can. And to be truthful, even if only but a
handful of seekers actually benefit, or suddenly see a seed that might be
nurtured into a lifelong fulfilling practice; then I have done my job and am
rewarded in full. The baton is passed on, as I'm sure thousands of others
are also doing to yet more thousands. It's a sad fact that many sites nowadays
do not get past the same old stale, static restricted information, without
thought provoking concepts and choices and this must be changed, even if
plagiarized in some ways from other brilliant thought provokers of past and
present; as long as the seed is dynamically embellished to fit a line of thought
or path that goes somewhere and indeed further along the path itself, then
everything is not for naught.
I guess I feel that as long as we all keep on learning and trying, we are doing
something and going somewhere and I for one never want to stop learning and
moving on and ....sharing.
