A statue of the Hindu Goddess Kali. She, for me, represents the feminine aspect of the Divine. Two pieces of art work with eagles. Eagle is one of my more important Totem animals. A turtle shell. Turtle represents the sort of Native American medicine I work with. A stone with a natural hole in it. Like the statue, this represents the feminine aspect of the Universe, and that's important to me. And a pentacle. Which represents, for me, certain aspects of European metaphysics that are important to me because of the Universal truth I found there. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ BTW ... I'm not religious. ;-)

I suppose I am guilty of the desperation prayers: "Please, please, please save my wretched *ss THIS time, and I'll never do this again! Never, never, never!"  :-))\n\nBut That Which Is always...IS. Throughout the day, my heart rises spontaneously in thanksgiving and gratitude, for my luck (Oh! No, no, no! That is ANOTHER question!)  :-)) For what I have been given, for all that I have, for the very good people who love me, for the incredible, sustaining beauty of the natural world.\n\nSometimes I am not sure to Whom I am praying, but my heart rises, anyway!\n\nThe only serious (the save-my-butt stuff isn't really serious, in my opinion) prayers I say are to ask for knowledge of God's will, and the power to carry it out.\n\nSometimes I toss in a request for strength, and understanding.

For me is my faith to Jesus and God, that they will be there beside me in every situation in my life, whether is good or bad.Pray and ask for the wisdom to overcome the situation.

Candlestick with 7 lampheads: the light of the Spirit (the 7 spirits from Isaia 11:2)\n\nShewbread: 12 loaves of bread, signifying the 12 tribes of Israel.\n\nGolden altar: if you mean the cover of the Ark of the Covenant - was the place where the blood of the sacrifice was sprinkled and God's justice was met.\nif you mean the altar of incense - the place where the prayers of the people of Israel would ascend toward God.

The prayer's so powerful. You just have to have faith when you pray. Our prayer's always heard by God. He never forgotten nor ignore us. Things just don't happen right away. God let things to happen according to His plans and not according to our own will. Sometimes, you'll be surprised cuz He'll give you better and bigger than what you've asked for.

1- the Virgin Mother is important BECAUSE she was chosen to be the mother of our Lord Jesus. I would say that's rather special. \nI believe any prayer is useful.\n2- When we pray to Mary or any of the saints, we are usually asking them to pray for us. Each saint was made so for different reasons. They must have 3 (I believe) miracles performed in their name in order to reach saint hood. Each saint has "specializes" in different miracles. If we need a specific miracle in our lives it helps to pray to that particular saint as well as Jesus and God.\n\n3- Purgatory, I myself don't know if it exists or not. There is no evidence it exists, for that matter, there is not proof of heaven or hell either, it's all about faith.\nI pray for the dead as a sign of respect to those who have go on before me.\n\nDon't know if this will convince you or not, but just believe in what you want. Just be a good person and do the best you can do while you're here on earth. God loves us all no matter what. I really don't think God will freak if you don't pray to Mary or the Saints.

There is no harm in wanting to find something that was taken from you wrongfully.  Of course you need to pay mind to the rede and rule of three.  In our spell we are going to make it very clear what was taken and how we want it returned.\n\nItems Needed:\nSalt or Sand\nGood Luck Herb - Acorns, Bayberry Bark, Buckeyes, or Cinnamon\nCloves - gaining what you seek\nWhite ribbon\nTaper or Pillar Orange Candle - Property Matters\nAnointing Oil\n\nTime for ritual:  New Moon\n\nBegin ritual as you normally would.  After calling the quarters and blessing yourself, state your intent for the ritual.\n\nOn this eve of the new moon\nI call for my (item) to return soon.\n\nKneel at your altar.\n\nPlace the the herbs, salt and sand into a mortar.  When dropping in each herb state their intent.\n\nEarth to ensure my work is ture.\nCinnamon to bring luck in what I do.\nCloves to find and bring through.\n\nPlace three drops of the anointing oil in the mortar and say:  I anoint these herbs to work there magick for me.\n\nGrind the herbs in a clockwise direction until they for a powder.\n\nWrite on the side of the candle from top to bottom what was taken from you.\n*\nP\nU\nR\nS\nE\n_\n\nTake the herbs you just blended and rub them down the candle beginning at the wick.  While doing this chant:\n\nWhat is mine will return in time.\n\nTake one end of the ribbon and the wick of the candle and pinch them with the thumb and forefinger of your left hand.  With your right hand wrap the ribbon around the candle in clockwise direction.  While doing this chant:\n\nReturn to me what is mine as this ribbon I twine.\n\nWhen you get to the bottom secure the ribbon with a couple of drops of white wax.\n\nPlace your candle in the middle of your altar over your pentacle and say:\n\nMy (item) shall return to me\nWithout any harm to thee\nWhat you took is mine\nIt will return in quick time\n\nLight the candle and let it burn out.  Since there is a ribbon wrapped around this candle, it will burn quickly but it will also emit a lot of smoke and flames.  It would be safer to burn it outside or at least in something that withstands the heat.\n\nFinish ritual as you normally would.\n\nI hope this helps.

Runes are more for you then they are that they be politically correct.  You could find numerious stones that you find in life that have their own characteristics and meaning to you alone.  If you want traditional however, I suggest going to B&N and buy a book on runes, they will either show you how to make them, (which I would recomend due to the fact that they would be more intune with you.)  Or I believe they do sell them.  As far as blessing, If they are stones found in nature they may already be blessed. If you wish to cleanse them set them in the sun, a bowl of salt water, or in the light of a full moon.  To bless them it's as simple as asking your higher power to bless them or can be a huge ritual.  Do what feels right and is comfortable to you! Good Luck! BB Sdw

Have faith and believe that what you prayed for is what your outcome will be.  As the scripture says, "faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen".

You must be an Evangelical, why do you want to know what's on my bedside table? However since you asked, a dildo, some lube, an ashtray, a roach in the ashtray, and a bunch of porno mags. Happy you asked?
