Mysticism

[Musiq]

I'm a strong believer in the paranormal. i even believe that if your tarot deck is in tune, then your readings will be dead accurate. That, including wicca and magic, is real. You just gotta learn how to use it right, and know what to do

Horoscopes are right but incomplete. They show the effect of the stars on us at the time of our birth. They do not show the effect of our birth on the stars.

An atheist would deny this, but in a God centered universe doesn't everything have a purpose. We all assume we will be alive tomorrow. Why wouldn't God know that.. As a child my mother told me some people have a gift for telling the future She also warned that some people who told fortunes were liars and cheats and only told fortunes for money. When I asked her how to tell the difference, she said a true pagan always knew the difference.. She said heathen atheists were so stupid they couldn't tell the difference. They were so stupid they didn't know God exists. In 1950 she ranted that Einstein was a fool who didn't know God created the universe, The universe was created a long time ago by God. The universe did not always exist as he theorized. Einstein would be discredited as a physicist when they showed the universe had a beginning To this day I wonder how my mom born in the extreme west of Ireland in 1911knew of the big bang theory., Einstein or Quantum Theory. It seemed unlikely that someone who went to 8th grade in Ireland before radio or newspapers would know about such things Our neighbors all swore my mom had a gift for telling fortunes. As a child my mom would rock back and forth chanting the Pagan Manifesto from, memory. Does anyone have a copy I would like to reread it as an adult. She told me to grow up and be a good pagan A pagan lives his life in search of truth, joy and wonderment.

I have tried to live my life with truth joy and wonderment. Let me try a prediction. The 2012 election will produce the greatest catastrophe in the history of the United States

Where to start?

Quantum theory does not say that all matter and all energy in the universe interact everywhere, it says nothing of the sort. It has been hijacked by charlatans whose new age bollox is rapidly being overtaken by science, they do not understand quantum theory, and I'd venture a guess that neither do you.

Einstein died in 1955, at that time the question of whether the universe had a beginning or not was still moot, it wasn't until 1964 that Penzias and Wilson threw some light on the matter with the discovery of cosmic background radiation. They were scientists, not astrologers. Einstein's contribution to science lay in the photoelectric effect and two theories of relativity, both of which have been extensively confirmed. In the matter of the origin of the universe he was as entitled to an opinion as anyone, his view did not form part of his scientific contribution to the world.

You are absolutely free to use whatever belief system you like to conduct your life or improve it; when you choose to steal and misrepresent science to support those beliefs, don't be surprised if you meet with resistance.

If one believes something will happen because a deck of cards says it will, then I don't see how one can complain if someone claims homosexuality is wrong or, even, punishable by death because a 2,000 year old book written in a language they don't understand says so.

I always let people shuffle my cards because Tarot is a metaphor for life. So when they shuffle, the metaphor is their life is in THEIR hands.
