Necromancy



I just found out about it a couple of days ago and I thought it was pretty intresting. Its a form of Divination (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divination)
where you summon spirts for wisdom, protection, and other things.

Well, I'm more interested in wicca. Mainly because their 3-fold rule of karma is more accurate due to the permutations in which it could occour. Although I try to avoid the summoning bits. I read that by summoning a spirit to help you achieve a goal in this life, you will have to pay for the services by working for them in the after life. That whole sterio-type of 'selling your soul' if you will. Other than that, love related magic, and black magic which can be fatal. I'm interested in wicca along with other religions as well. It seems as though most religions carry some aspect of the whole story, but no one religion gives the whole, true story. Or at least, none on record.

Personally i follow no religion, just my own path. I need no guidance or leader in my journey. I know some consider the darkness an evil realm, but it is where i feel most at home. It has taught me to acknowledge no greater power than my own, it has taught me to not care, in fact it taught me a great deal in becoming a happier, (in my eyes) better person. As for summoning, it's a hobby. I search for dark spirits, evil if you will, but i don't have them do my bidding, i found they are trapped in a level beyond ours and wish only to be set free, so freedom is what i attempt to achieve, for myself as well as others. Ultimate freedom, anarchy if you will.

In a way, anarchy/chaos isn't freedom. There needs to be anarchy, but only to a very limited extent to truely enjoy freedom. That is something I've come to during my years of thinking about stuff/creating philosophy/philosophising as I call it.

we obviously have a different idea of freedom, so i'll leave you to yours and i'll strive to have mine become reality

After many years of study and wandering I found Wicca to be a fit for me. I still study other beliefs and religions, along with philosophy and mythology (especially Goddess myths). I am currently studying Hinduism and Yoga, along with my continuing study of Wicca and the sciences of the craft.

My religion is my own... No one in the world has one like mine XD This is very very very detailed and its not even a lot of it, very sorry crying


Basic facts:

Paradise:

Inside Paradise is where all the Holy reside, inside that is like a "storage place" where they keep the pure, sinless souls in unconsciousness and give them dreams of euphoric happiness.
7 Archangels guard the Golden Gates of Paradise. Everyday they switch off. One angel on monday, another on tuesday, and so on until it restarts the cycle.
There is also the Cousil of the Holy:

The Nine Orders of Paradise:
Of course the Great One is the ruler of all but he/she does not decide nything without conversing with the cousil first
First Sphere:
Seraphim are six winged Holy Beings, highest ranked in the Council of Light.
Cherubs are child-like and are the most innocent and trustworthy and second ranked in the Council of Light
Thrones are the Elders and the wisest of the Council of light
Second Sphere:
Dominions are the leaders, the most courageous and loyal in the Army of Light
Virtues are the protectors, whom follow the higher Dominions as their soldiers in the Army of light
Powers are the authority of the Judicial Council of Light, and they write the rules within Paradise
Third Sphere:
Principalities are another form of authority and help write the rule with the Powers in the Judicial Council
Archangels are the Guardians of the golden gates of Paradise and make sure no demonica goes near Paradise without a proper pass
Angels are messengers and residence in Paradise, living amongst each other as humans would.



Oblivion:
Not Hell, no not quite.
A place where those who are unworthy of Heaven, and not quite ready for Hell go to. Depending on your sin or sins, you go to Oblivion. There, your spirit will stay conscious, but depending on your punishment, you may or may not feel/hear/think/taste/see... Sometimes, when a person is reborn and say there past life's soul has been muted or blinded, they will be reborn as blind or mute. Even sometimes, when Hell has had a sinner even they cannot handle, Hell gives them to Oblivion, where they become Nothing

Counsil of the Neautral:
OK, this counsil is bascially the only life in ALL of Oblivion besides floating souls of nothing lol No minions, or mosnters, nothing. Its not like a soul is going to wake up and waltz out of there anyway.. .Plus, everyone here is related, but I did not post the husbands since technically they aren't with Oblivion XD
The Nine Orders of Oblivion:
First Sphere:
Morte` the Creator and of Oblivion and keeps all in check in Oblivion
Mortis the brother of Morte` and carries the Spirits from the Living Realm or Paradise into Oblivion
Mortum the sister of Morte` and she keeps check of all the Spirits in Oblivion; she also disposes of those which have used up their time in Oblivion
Second Sphere:
Zebahs first born daughter of Morte` and she makes sure the Spirits whom enter Oblivion have been stripped of everything they have, if not she calls upon her family to make sure they are
Zenon second born son of Morte` is the coldest and less caring of his siblings and takes away the emotions of the spirits whom enter Oblivion
Zefie final born daughter of Morte` she is the wisest of her siblings and takes away the thoughts of the spirits whom enter Oblivion
Third Sphere:
Narcyz the daughter of Zenon keeps the bodies of Spirits immobilized
Narcissca the daughter of Zefie keeps the bodies of Spirits at eternal rest
Narcissus the son of Zebahs and makes sure the bodies of the Spirits are undisturbed until their time has come to become Nothing

Becoming Nothing:
To become Nothing, Mortis makes sure the time has come for the Immobilized Spirit. Each Spirit headed into Oblivion stays conscious but yet their subconscious is no longer amongst them, keeping. It’s nearly worse than Hell. Each Spirit is given a time limit to stay in Oblivion judged by the Great One, and Motre` the Oblivion’s Creator. The Great One always tries to keep the time limit short for the Spirit’s out of sympathy but Morte` always tries to haggle it upward just for the fun of it. Once they agree the Spirit is sent to Oblivion in a type of process by which their entire being The Spirit is first stripped of all Emotions, Feelings, and Nerve, having it feel, taste, see, hear and sense nothing what so ever. The final motion is to have it stripped of subconscious, keeping it immobilized.



Hell:
Of course everyone should know about Hell lol
The place where the ultimate of Sinners come and pay for their sins. There is very little these bad boys and girls and asexuals and hemaphrodites cant handle. But if there ever is, they give them to Oblivion where they become Nothing. Lucifer and Gabriel, his brother, and Zennen have all come to an agreement that when they cross into eachothers realms, such as an Angel in Hell or a Devil in Oblivion ect, they must be unharmed unless they disrupt the alance and order of things in which ever realm they are in.

Counsil of Hell:
Satan and Lucifer usually decide most of everything, since you know, its HELL and all lol, but sometimes they do need to discuss with their counsil XD
The Nine Orders of Hell:
First Sphere:
Archdevils are the highest authority within the Council of Darkness, and the most dangerous within Hell
Naga are the most trusted within the Council of Darkness and make sure no form of holy being comes within Hell without proper pass
Liches and Banshee are the wisest of the Council of Darkness
Second Sphere:
Homunculi are the leaders within the Army of Darkness, whom fell no pain or pleasure
Sins are the soldiers for the Army of Darkness, obeying their master Homunculi
Incubi report any disturbances within Hell and are the first to be told about unbalances within Paradies, if caused by a demonica
Third Sphere:
Succubi are messengers to Hell, Oblivion and Paradise and give news to the Council of Darkness, and give news from the other two Councils
Devils are the higher residence of Hell
Other Demonica are the residence of Hell




the Greater Gods and Godesses:
The Great One (most call him/her God, but he/she is more than that)
The Evil One (most know him as Satan)
The Self Sided One (Morte` is her own side, she is neutral. And stays out of teh bickering between Hell and Paradise/heaven)

Minor Gods and Godesses (Minor but not weak or any less powerful than the greater):
Gaia, Goddes of and is the Earth
Chronos, father of Gaia and Time
Eros, God of Passion, love, admiration, lust, and Sexuality
Galactica, Goddess of the stars and planets
Gravitigo, God of Gravity, pressure, expansion, and brother of Galactica
Apollo, God of Beauty, Light(Sun wise, not elemental wise), Music, and the Homosexuals! xd (inside joke cuz he's had sex with more boys and guys than any other god or goddess)


Elemental and Cardinal Direction:
The Azure Dragon of the Water and the West
The Winged Tiger Twins of the Air, and Light and Darkness and the East
The Grey Tortoise of the Earth and North
The Vermillion Bird(Phenox) of Fire and the South


Water includes everything from water: ice, rain, storms, steam, all that
Fire includes all heat, deserts, and all that
Air is tornados, also storms, hurricanes, breezes, all that
Earth is basically all plant and rock life


Its very vaugue on what is considered a "Sin". You kill a person, that is a sin no matter what, how or why unless its like your cornered and the only way to live is to kill. But if you have had sex, in many religions that is sin. It is not if say you want a child, or if you cheated on a boyfriend or husband, you should at least confess and appologize or confess, apologize, and break up/divorce for true love... You technically wont be blamed for it, they will kinda scold Eros cuz he loves messing with everyone like that rofl Or if you are overly vain, and care about yourself more than others, as long as your really not mean to anyone, its just more about you and not nothing about anyone, than its not a sin, just tone it down a little.

Although, actually very few people ever ever EVER go to "heaven" in Paradise. Animals go there all the time because its their nature and thats what Goddess Genbu made them do.

Its really hard to tell what is sin and whats not, but still, more people go to Oblivion rather than Hell, and its not like "You dont beleive you go to Hell" like lots of Christians tell me (sorry if you are one but thats just the majority of them tell me this... not all just most) Its more like "Beleive what you want, we dont care... When you die your soul sees what it wants to anyway"
