Welcome to Gaia! ::

Have it narrowed down to the popular LHP stuff if that description is accurate.
Can we get a description of said spells? While the folks here are correct that they're likely not what you think they are- a description of said rituals will help narrow it down.

All spells would be "bad karma" spells. They'd reflect a attachment for the most part.


Nope. Karma is what keeps things incarnating.

Ummm... why did your friend join a fertility cult?

Bad source. What you're talking about is a bastardized western understanding of Karma. Cultural appropriation and all.

You're thinking of The Law of Reciprocity.

I'm going to provide a heavily oversimplified explanation- just so we can start getting this on track.

Eastern Theologies that relate to Karma don't exist outside of the concept of Dharma.

These religions (most popular of them being called Hinduism and Buddhism in English) talk about a proper course for one's life known as Dharma. They don't really agree with that Dharma is- but the bottom line is that it's how you're supposed to live. Actions that go against Dharma generate Karma. Actions that are inline with Dharma, generate little or no Karma. (remember, over simplification here)

Buddhists have a set Dharma prescribed for the sum of humanity to follow to the best of their ability with the understanding that it isn't going to be perfect and that which experiences Karma will incarnate again. Hinduism's view has more to do with a number of who you are. This includes any number of intersecting elements of identity- some of which conflict at times.

I have no doubt that you know what you have been told. I simply doubt you've been told anything of quality based on what you have presented.

Wicca is a fertility cult. If the spells are similar to that of Wiccan spells, it stands to reason that they are likely fertility based, no?

Your post fails to give me the information I require.

Please post responses to the question I posed.

well here, as my last try I found more info that might be of use. (check the main page, edit#2)

Oh spiff. I think we have found the root of the problem. Your friend has no clue what they are talking about.

Yaknow what? That's okay. This guild is here to help people like you and her. Let's examine this shall we?

I'm assuming this is in reference to some kind of initiation or dedication.

Well, this is the first thing that's wrong. Being pagan is simply a function of not being part of an Abrahamic Faith.

Don't worship as part of the religions that descend from the practices of Muhammad, Yeshua or Moses? Congrats. You're pagan. Nothing more to it than that.

Second- being a witch is about practicing witchcraft. If you practice witchcraft, even though you belong to an Abrahamic faith, you're a witch. If you practice witchcraft and are a Pastafarian, you're a witch. If you practice witchcraft and you're an atheistic monist, you're a witch.


Who is providing the name? Why are they doing it? Why are they working with a circle? Why use a dagger?

I get it. It's popular eclectic fashion to imitate the fertility cult. Fine. But do it in a thoughtful manner. If you don't know why you're running off to do something, stop and examine it.


Those questions above aren't rhetorical. I want to read your answers so we can further develop this discussion.

Are they under the impression that energy doesn't exist elsewhere or that magic cannot be done elsewhere?

This is why it is important that we examine these constructs. The Cult has it's reasons for doing what it does. It doesn't make sense to mimic them if you aren't doing what they are doing and have no other justification for it.

This, this is ******** insulting is what it is.

Pagans aren't normal? What the hell?

Why on earth is there no training before this rite?! For all you know they're going to walk you into the circle naked, blindfolded and tied up, flog your a** and kiss you where your bathing suit covers.

If you aren't prepared for that- if you have no training whatsoever- how on earth are you going to be in any position to experience the rite itself?

Yikes! I don't know what your friend thinks they're talking about, but I for the life of me wouldn't want anyone in any spiritual situation with me who can't understand basic applications of energy.

What's the source of this image? Are they lifting it from established Eastern traditions? Something else?

Oh gods. I get a sinking feeling reading this. What on earth do they mean race?

Ever attended a wedding? How about a birthday? Congrats, you have already partaken of real life rituals.
What religion were you raised with if any?
Yule is a Norse Pagan holiday. It's on/around the 21st, not the 24th.

They really don't have a clue what they're talking about.
This is the kind of Fluff that leads to Mr. Darks.
