ONE FAMILY PLAN
Magick
If we mix certain ingredients... We, by our own hands, will surely succeed! If we eat of the special herbs... By the arranging of the candles... If we stare into the crystal ball... The turning of the (spiritual) Tarot cards... The "read" of the stars... The speaking of a phrase, or mantra... The secret knowledge (arts)... The Rituals... It is most often the trickery of (alleged) free will, or rather the illusion of free will. Many in the magic arts [and nearly everyone else] often work as separatists, with the belief that it is they [we, individually] that cause change. Though a higher entity is called upon, it is, nonetheless, the magician's [or the Christian's] free will choice that is causing good or evil. It is no different than the Christian's blessed prayer and the laying on of their holy hands. While the divine spark is assured, it is only through the power of all, the power of God, Love, whereby Tao is achieved. Make no mistake. There is amazing symbolism and power in Magick. Biblically speaking, from an allegorical standpoint, Witchcraft, and/or the Magician are a spiritual condition. While Witchcraft (Wicca) and Magic(k) may hold honorable titles and truths with many, the biblical references, i.e. Mystery Babylon, are immensely deep and meaningful. It is something whereby we have all struggled...
"YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE DEVIL AND AN ENEMY OF EVERYTHING THAT IS RIGHT! YOU ARE FULL OF ALL KINDS OF DECEIT AND TRICKERY. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?" -Acts 13:10 (NIV)
The free will deception of separatism
"You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you WHEN YOU SAY TO YOURSELF, 'I AM, AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME.'" -Isaiah 47:10 (NIV)
As opposed to...
"so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I AM THE LORD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER." -Isaiah 45:6 (NIV)
Now then...
"NOW THEN, LISTEN, YOU LOVER OF PLEASURE, LOUNGING IN YOUR SECURITY AND SAYING TO YOURSELF, 'I AM, AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'" -Isaiah 47:8 (NIV)
"GIVE HER AS MUCH TORMENT AND GRIEF AS THE GLORY AND LUXURY SHE GAVE HERSELF. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.'"
-Revelation 18:7 (NIV)
"Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. THEY WILL COME UPON YOU IN FULL MEASURE, IN SPITE OF YOUR MANY SORCERIES AND ALL YOUR POTENT SPELLS." - Isaiah 47:9 (NIV)
The City of Revelry is WITHIN... is our unholy self!
"THIS IS THE CITY OF REVELRY THAT LIVED IN SAFETY. SHE SAID TO HERSELF, 'I AM THE ONE! AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME.' What a ruin she has become, a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by her scoff and shake their fists." -Zephaniah 2:15 (NIV)
We are all a part of the Spiritual City. It is the Temple within. Mystery Babylon is the spiritual wicked city within. The desires of our heart are selfish. New Jerusalem is the Holy City within. Our desires are for all, the body, God, Love. His purpose will stand!
"...I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'" -Isaiah 46:9-10 (NIV)
In truth, we roll together. Therefore...
"Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her." -Revelation 18:8 (NIV)
"KEEP ON, THEN, WITH YOUR MAGIC SPELLS AND WITH YOUR MANY SORCERIES, WHICH YOU HAVE LABORED AT SINCE CHILDHOOD. PERHAPS YOU WILL SUCCEED, PERHAPS YOU WILL CAUSE TERROR." -Isaiah 47:12 (NIV)
The counsel of those around you... Assurance that if you do that, this will happen... If you do this, that will happen... A fire whereby we mustn't sit...
"ALL THE COUNSEL YOU HAVE RECEIVED HAS ONLY WORN YOU OUT! LET YOUR ASTROLOGERS COME FORWARD, THOSE STARGAZERS WHO MAKE PREDICTIONS MONTH BY MONTH, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. THEY CANNOT EVEN SAVE THEMSELVES from the power of the flame. These are not coals for warmth; this is not a fire to sit by." -Isaiah 47:13-14 (NIV)
Not one can save you...
"That is all they are to you... these you have dealt with and labored with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; THERE IS NOT ONE THAT CAN SAVE YOU."
-Isaiah 47:15 (NIV)
The demons, the idols... is the bowing to the work of our hands, is the work of our spells...
"I WILL DESTROY YOUR IDOLS AND YOUR SACRED STONES FROM AMONG YOU; YOU WILL NO LONGER BOW DOWN TO THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS." -Micah 5:13 (NIV)
It IS Rebellion IS witchcraft...
"FOR REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT..." - 1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
And therein is the definition. Wiccans are every bit as sweet a people as any other certified religion. Witchcraft's biblical (KJV) definition is rebellion. It is separatism, a belief that we are all powerful, a lusting for our own selfish cravings. In lieu of the magick of all, it is the magick of one power driven person. Really it is the magick of all that is ONE. Therein is God!
"Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the Lord has spoken: 'I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.'" - Isaiah 1:2 (NIV)
The making of a name for ourselves is love's antithesis!
"Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. HE BOASTED THAT HE WAS SOMEONE GREAT, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, 'This man is the divine power known as the Great Power.' THEY FOLLOWED HIM BECAUSE HE HAD AMAZED THEM FOR A LONG TIME WITH HIS MAGIC." - Acts 8:9-11 (NIV)
Consider the great signs of the beast! We are the beasts. We are the devil. We are the accusers of our brothers and sisters [night and day]! So often we follow ourselves, our individual [granted] power… The first beast is our blatant selfish nature. The second is filled with the thoughts of the first but may appear pure on the outside.
"...The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast." -Revelation 13:3 (NIV)
"And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. BECAUSE OF THE SIGNS IT WAS GIVEN POWER TO PERFORM ON BEHALF OF THE FIRST BEAST, IT DECEIVED THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived." -Revelation 13:13-14 (NIV)
The magicians... it may work for a while in the secret [black] arts with evil intent, i.e. Jannes and jambres, but surely the true magick of God will surface, i.e. the Magick of Moses... ALL for ONE and ONE for ALL!
"BUT THE MAGICIANS [JANNES AND JAMBRES] DID THE SAME THINGS BY THEIR SECRET ARTS; they also made frogs come up on the land of Egypt." - Exodus 8:7 (NIV) "BUT WHEN THE MAGICIANS TRIED TO PRODUCE GNATS BY THEIR SECRET ARTS, THEY COULD NOT. And the gnats were on men and animals." - Exodus 8:18 (NIV)
The Truth was opposed in the Magick of Jannes and Jambres... [Pay close attention... all of this is happening in the minds of the so-called holy people... it is the second beast}...
"For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth. AS JANNES AND JAMBRES OPPOSED MOSES, SO THESE MEN ALSO OPPOSE THE TRUTH, men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith." - 2 Timothy 3:6-8 (RSV)
She was accurate [you gotta give her that!]...
"And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation." (Acts 16:16, 17 KJV)
And lest we forget the Witch of Endor [also accurate]:
"...they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee." (1 Sam 28:8) "...I saw gods ascending out of the earth... What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself." (1 Sam 28:13-14)
"Magick" in lieu of "Magic" was adopted by Aleister Crowley 'to distinguish the Science of the Magi from its counterfeits.'
