Curiously, I only truly learned this lesson while I was in Alcoholics Anonymous. That's where I saw peoples' lives changing regardless of their religious preference -- there were folks that had faith in a Purple Elephant, but they prayed, and they believed, and their lives changed.<br /><br />It really shook me up to begin understanding that my prior experience with faith was not the only valid approach, as it was made abundantly clear to me in AA. They teach you to "seek conscious communication with the God of your own understanding", and there are no rules or stipulations about what that God may be. The implications this had for me when it came to magick were mind altering, totally. Most people expect it to be a Christian program, and it's not at all. It openly operates on the power of Faith in a Higher Power alone.<br /><br />Anyway, good writing -- it got me thinking.Frater Serpentis et Aquilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132875411751948434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-50195445265131007842009-11-24T21:16:23.607-05:002009-11-24T21:16:23.607-05:00I've been on the receiving end of a group of &...I've been on the receiving end of a group of "prayer warriors" praying against me because I was involved with the occult. I can thank a fundy relative that tracked me down via the internet for that attack. It crossed me up BADLY for about a year before I figured out what was going on (yes, I should have realized it sooner than I did - but at the time I was going through alot of personal stuff and not really practicing heavily). Took alot of effort to clean up that mess. That same group prayed against the ex-wife of my step father who was causing strife in his new marriage, and her engine exploded while she was on the highway and she almost died. They ENJOY doing this kind of work.<br /><br />People who discount the power of those kinds of activities have never been in the midst of it. Growing up in a fundy church I heard my fair share of those kinds of prayer sessions. They are spooky powerful.

For instance, look at the rolling back of civil rights for GLBT people against all odds. Its driven by these mass imprecatory prayer-spells; directed by fundamentalist preachers like metaphysical nukes. Can you imagine the force of that? The right has an exceedingly potent magical weapon in the evangelicals.Balthazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082560653346684284noreply@blogger.com
