Healing

There are many types of healing that I, Renee practice. I mostly work with Reiki (Energy Healing), crystals and circle healings.

I am going to give you a little taste of what I do right here, and I am going to start with Reiki and I am going to explain it alittle bit for some understanding of what I do.

Reiki: I focus my energy and my white light on the injury, trying to heal the person, and heal the spot that has been injurdered or is in need of healing. I also have a specific hand placement that I use. Generally I put my hands faced down side by side together and focus hard, letting that light and energy flow through my hands. I also wear my amethyst crystal when I do this.

My preperation for energy healing:

I do a circle casting OR I just light a white, blue or purple candle, or all three and ask for permission to use the energy from Maka (Mother Nature) to heal this person. Then I cleanse my crystal in salt a good hour before the healing is conducted. After the healing I always cleanse my crystal in the moon light or the sun light in the salt.

Crystals:

This one is pretty basic and depends on your own healing crystal, mine as I explained above is amethyst. How to find your healing crystal is by spreading out the crystals in a line and running ur left hand over each of the crystals, one will draw you to it by strong energy and you feel a sort of connection to it. It's alittle hard to explain to be honest. ANYWAY before you use it be sure to cleanse it in sea salt or rock salt your choice, or just plain old table salt, what ever you choose to use. Put it in the sunlight, or the moonlight which ever feels strongest to you. Ask the Goddess or God, whatever you believe in to lend you the energy from the crystal to heal a certain person, animal or yourself. Crystals are AMAZING...honestly..I love my amethyst, and yes I have alot of it. Place the crystal on any of the chakras that indicate the area that needs to be healed, feel the energy flow through the crystal and also your hands, see the energy flowing through it, and keep working with it until that area is healed or if the sickness is gone.

Circle Healings:
Basically I just cast a circle with 6 candles, light going clockwise in order to heal, I also put crystals around the middle candle, and incantate my healing prayer, say the person's name and reason to be healed then I light the middle candle.

That is all for healing =)

Wiccan Rede Breakdown

So we are here to talk about the Wiccan Rede itself and what it really means, I am not going to go line by line but I am going to cover the most important sections of it. These breakdowns are my enterpertation of the Wiccan Rede alone and not views of others, but solely my own, if you don't like it please just let me know. Thanks Renee


I got the Wiccan the rede from wicca.com I do not own the rede at all...



The first Clause:


Bide within the Wiccan law you must in perfect love and perfect trust


Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give


The Breakdown: basically we live in perfect love and perfect trust, nothing strays from that. we are honest with each other and we love each other for who we are, and we also love the goddess and we also trust each other. We have to be able to trust eachother fully becuase with out trust, we cannot perform rituals fairly and we have no trust in each other to do so.


Fairly take and fairly give is basically about taking what we need: as in energy or healing, and we have to be able to return it: 3 fold, what ever is given comes back to you three times as strong.


Basically, dont mess with your power that is given to you.


The second clause:


For thread the circle thrice about to keep unwanted spirits out.


To bind the spell well every time, and let the spell be said in rhyme.


Breakdown:Basically walk around the circle every time in order to keep spirits out that are not needed. You don't want bad spirits in your circle TRUST ME...BAD idea...Satanism basically wants evil spirits in their circles, and we want good spirits, gods and goddesses. Clockwise is to do something, counter clockwise is to undo something. Ok the thing about spells, they do not always need to be said in a rhyme, I honestly don't say things in a rhyme, it is a pain in the butt, I get my intentions out by not rhyming and it has the same afects.


Thirdish Clause:


Speak you little listen much


Honor the Old ones in Deed and Name


let love and light be our guides again.


Breakdown: Don't talk more than you listen, honor the dead...

and of course the most important part of it:

An' It Harm None Do What Ye Will

basically it says what it says...if it dosent harm anyone go ahead with itand remember to not create chaos or do something stupid to urself. DUH

Outsider Opinion (Rick Price): ok so from my perspective of all of this is only use what you need even rituals cuz i would think over using something will off set the balance something will go chaotically wrong. there cannot be love where there is no trust as one would say so the whole first clause ties itself together by saying u must trust your partner as well as yourself and then you can find love and loves sweet gifts. and exactly as Renee said the third clause is self explanitory so as Forest Gump says "Stupid is as stupid does"

Renee: Ok sweety it is also used in general life...we will talk about this on the podcast..

Wicca and Neo Paganism

So many people constantly mistake (Neopaganism) and Paganism (Wicca, eartly religions etc.) But why? There are some possible answers below:
1. They think since we use a 5 pointed stars to cast a circle that we are going to cause harm.
2. They think that since we have an open mind and that we can heal not harm, that we are going to just harm people. HELOOO I am going to go back to the Wiccan Rede here: "An' it harm none so do what ye will" COME ON are people that stupid?
3. People are too lazy to click on a new tab on their computers and do research on their own. I keep getting the same question: "What is Wiccanism? It sounds like Satanism...I mean you are doing witchcraft" OH COME ON please just do your own research and stop asking stupid questions..it drives me insane and honestly it pisses me off to no end.
4. Their religion, their Priest or the bible might tell them that any kind of healing is Satanic. Uhmm alright when have we ever harmed anyone? Does this say brainwashing to anyone other then me? I mean open up your mind already...please?
I mean we are accepting to your religion accept ours and stop trying to convert people that are happy the way that they are.
5. Neo Pagan rituals consists of some blood offerings of some kind. We have hopefully never done that...I mean ew...thats just not what the Wiccan Rede states..."Harm None do what ye will" We use candles and items to represent the elements...=) never blood. never...ever...Food, drinks, candles and insence are ok but never blood. Ok I think I got my thought out. Haha =)

Outsider opinion:

Ok so i get the whole thing about people thinking wicca is being satanic and stuff like that but honestly and i mean to be truthfully honest anyone who thinks that is an idiot. Flat out an idiot. i know in my heart that wicca is no form of what the church considers witchcraft and trust me on this i am episcapalion which is a branch of the christian church so i know what i am talking about and no i am not taking my partners side just because i am with her i know this to be true because I did my own research on this. So anyone willing to challenge this is welcome to be blown out of the water but get your info straight before confronting it.
