Witches' Voice Inc. - 22 March, 2014 - 7:14:44 PM Welcome to PlainCards Moving Beyond Religion I am an old man now. I was born in 1935 in a small village in northeastern Tibet. For reasons beyond my control, I have lived most of my adult life as a stateless refugee in India, which has been my second home for over fifty years. I often joke that I am India’s longest-staying guest. In common with other people of my age, I have witnessed many of the dramatic events that have shaped the world we live in. Looking back over the past decades, I find many reasons to rejoice. At the same time, despite tremendous advances in so many fields, there is still great suffering, and humanity continues to face enormous difficulties and problems. These problems are not limited to the developing world. It is clear that something is seriously lacking in the way we humans are going about things. This is the spiritual principle from which all other positive inner values emerge. My intention is not to dictate moral values. Adapted from Beyond Religion, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Basic Witchcraft Lessons Isn't the above picture phenomenal? It's called "The Eyes of Autumn" and appeared originally on the cover of a fantasy role playing magazine. Later I saw it on the cover of one of David Drake's novels, Old Nathan about a Tennessee Cunning Man. The artist is one of my all time favorite fantasy artists by the name of Larry Elmore and you can find this piece and many others at his site. I'm ordering a full size reproduction from him in the very near future to hang on the wall of my Temple Room near the one I have of Frank Frazetta. This is a series of FREE lessons in Witchcraft as I teach them. The lessons are free and you are free to use them, distribute them and abuse them to your heart's content PROVIDED if you put them up at your website, all that I ask is that credit is given to me, Brother MOLOCH 969, as the original author and a link back to my own website, and I'll be one happy camper. ;) Lesson ONE Lesson TWO Lesson THREE Lesson FOUR Lesson FIVE Lesson SIX
