Don't give into your natural inborn female desires to learn about the occult or gain special power.

Women have been tied into the serpent/Satan since the fall of man.

The deep insecurities and lust for power that women feel makes them extremely vulnerable to the call of the dark side that soo many females around the world feel and sometimes hear.

Once you open the door and start down that dark path it can forget plague, torment, punish and torture you for eternity... Don't do it regardless of how curious you are.
@guruman. funny, your name references a religious philosophy that many would say in ignorance, is satanic. Most "Guru" i have met are more inclusive,, and many are polythiestic
Your position is repeating a basic fundamental bigotry that women are somehow tainted by evil , and that there are only 2 sides to life.
eternal punishment is the threat used by monotheists too keep people "in their Place"
Broaden your knowledge and see what is really there not just parrot the Male centric dominant religions..

@SatyrService: you proceed from a number of false assumptions, starting with my name, which has no religious connotations but is used in the more broad aspect of the term to mean one who is highly knowledgeable with deep understanding.

Second, the idea that women are tied into the serpent is in cultures, sculptures and artwork from all over the world in cultures that had nothing to do with Christianity.

There are legends and writings in numerous cultures that predate Christianity that speak of women being tied into the serpent, and I've also spoken to many females that have never dabbled into anything occultic yet who have hear voices, callings and pulls to the dark side.

I also speak from experience helping such people and other experience to.
@guruman: [b]first[/b] I stipulate your first point,, the more general term guru as teacher..
sorry bout that assumption

[b]second[/b] indeed it is true,, see the Minoans, the Pythians etc., that snakes have figured so..what is the problem with snakes? unless you are using the symbolism from the abrahmanic faiths Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and thus have internalized those values. Snakes are just animals,, [i]not evil spirits[/i]

[b]third[/b] there are many people of both genders, such "callings,, voices", are internally generated and are symptoms of either mental illness of the influence not of sprits,, but malignant ideas, and since as you say the never did anything occult ( meaning hidden BTW) why make that connection?

you experiences,, as you say seem likely to have been seen thru the lens of the above mentioned belief systems. the "experiences" of the midieval and later witch hunters were just such a thing Ergot poisoning is not the work of the devil any more than Malaria was due to Bad air.

Isn't it a witch crafting satanic religion? I heard they are doing pretty scary rituals over there.
Black magic, is as easy a hoping another will die
and in the west? most of those killed in those centuries were not doing "black Magic" they were practicing herbal medicine, midwifery, or celebrating spiritually things other than the dominant Christianity.
"witchcraft an Sorcery" usually means "someone else's religion"
A buddhist, in colonial Massachusetts, or medieval Spain would have been called a devil worshiper, and meditation,, Black magic
@SatyrService: yes i can see em
@Chrintelle: thanks! the blur confused me,,,
there are many wonderful books on the subject guides and stuff.
try amazon and
wikipedia
I am a long friend to many of that belief, and have celebrated and practiced with them, tho of a different base belief.
most practice is about living in concert with the ways of nature, and teh feminine principles of it.
the very name is linked to the word Wisdom, and In previous centuries such persons were persecuted by the dominant male focused monotheism
There are ritual celebrations that focus on that, focused on the Female ideas of deity, and linked to the natural seasons. many not all use ideas and symbols from Celtic or germanic pagan practices,, tho not all. Most Wiccans do use the Hermetic ideas of the 4 directions and 4 states of matter.
contrary to what some other beliefs state, it is no way connected to devil worship
I welcome questions or private conversations
Wicca is more to do with nature than it is "satan" as some people would think. I think the rituals people think about are the more controversial orgies some groups do, they see sexual energy as some of the most potent there is, so they come together to bring more of that energy into the world.

Its has nothing to do with Christianity. Its based very-loosely on pre-Christian Earth religions. There are many flavors of Wicca, but thats the general idea.

Nothing to do with or related to Christianity at all.
