Hi all I'm Mea
« on: January 28, 2019, 06:04:44 pm »
Hi everyone,
I am and Italian hereditary who has woven quite a bit from other sects and teachings into my own personal belief system over my 40+ years in this lifetime. I lost my teachers at a young age, and was schooled Catholic. It did not go over well when I kept insisting if Mary was not God than they were at the least equals.
I kept her as my Goddess and I took the Saints with me too, but that's about it. Although I openly admit to enjoying mass every once in a while, as much as it's denied to me it is ceremonial magick and the place I first learned about ritual...such as circling with incense.
BIG SIGH.
I stopped trying to define what system I fit into years ago and just take what speaks to my gut.

I really love learning about and from others and expanding my consciousness, I lurked for a just a few moments before seeing this might be a place I can fit in. I live a pretty solitary life in the mountains now (and relish in it tbh ) but I was born and raised in NYC.

My preferred method of divination is tarot, current fav deck is Tarot Mucha, I am a Leo with a Scorpio rising and my moon in Taurus. I love weaving with herbs and oils. I collect crystals and use them on my various altars but do not work with them as much as I would like/should/want. I am a strong believer in I am the only tool I need.

Looking forward to exchanging ideas and the like - I hope everyone has a magickal day.

Hi everyone,

Hi! Welcome to the Cauldron!

"The worshippers of the gods go to them; to the manes go the ancestor-worshippers; to the Deities who preside over the elements go their worshippers; My devotees come to Me." ... "Whichever devotee desires to adore whatever such Deity with faith, in all such votaries I make that particular faith unshakable. Endowed with that faith, a votary performs the worship of that particular deity and obtains the fruits thereof, these being granted by Me alone." - Sri Krishna

Hello Mea!

I would be interested in hearing your views on Mary. In the folklore of Eastern European countries, there are a lot of “Mary’s” “Marya’s“ and “Mara’s” that are thinly veiled pagan Goddesses. For example, in Serbia you have the saint “Fiery Mary” who scorches the Earth and punishes bad people in Summer. Supposedly she’s the sister and counselor of St. Elijah, which is ahistorical to say the least.  ;D

Nice to meet you.
