Konnichi Wa to All:
This is to Announce that I have joinned a New Circle of Wiccan Learning called MagickaSchool.com.
I found the Information on MagickaSchool from MysticWicks.com and after reading over their Rules and Regulations, I found that they did not have any Rules about only allowing English in their Correspondence which could end up my getting Forbidden to use Japanese in my Posts.
So I joined them on June 3rd (the day after my Birthday) and registered on their Message Forums. I posted my Hajimemashite Greetings Thread and then sat back and watched what they do.
Over Several Weeks, they seemed to not mind my Posting in Jap every once in a while, which Pleased Me.
Then they issued a Deal for my getting a Life Membership for a Fairly Cheap Price, so I took it.
It was after that that I have posted copies of my Supreme Lifeform Manifesto Essay, my Rewriting of Genesis Essay, my Mother Theresa Speech On Acceptance Essay.
They seemed to like those Essays.
The thing is, they have Wiccan Theological Competitions, and they held a Competition on Rituals for Samhain. The Winner would Win a Copy of "The Book of the Law" by Aleister Crowley.
I entered the Ritual I did at Old Sarum Cathedral Ruins on June 24th 2007.
The Ritual I submitted went:
I am Entering a Ritual that I did at Old Sarum Castle Ruins on the Saturday After I attended the 2006 Summer Solstice Gathering at The Stonehenge.
After spending the Morning at the Summer Solstice Gathering at The Stonehenge, I went back to Avebury, where I had been Camped Out.
The National Trust, who looks after Avebury, have a policy that everyone has to be packed up and Vacated from the Car Park of Avebury by 4:00pm. So I got to work packing up to head to a place called Foxhangers in Devizes, a place that I had found on the Interrnet.
But when I told my plans to a Neighboring Wiccan Paganistic Camper, he and his Wife informed me that I would find it a lot more interesting to go to a place called Old Sarum Camping Park. They directed me to a certain Bus that just so happens to go to Salsbury, which passed by Old Sarum.
So I got on the Bus, and asked the Driver to drop me off where Old Sarum is. I then went about Old Sarum, taking a few Pictures and seeing a few Sites
After Hiking down from Old Sarum and registering with their Camping Park. I then went to the Harvester Restaurant, which is just across the Street from Old Sarum, and had a nice Steak Dinner.
Then, after spending the past 24 to 48 hours awake celebrating the Summer Solstice, I went back to the Camping Park and turned in to get caught up on my Sleep.
After Sleeping Myself Out from the Previous Days Summer Solstice Activities, I got up in Old Sarum's Camping Park. I cooked myself up some Breakfast (Old Sarum Camping Park's Office had the Most Delicious Beef Sausages on Sale!), I Geared Myself Up and went for a Tour of Old Sarum.
It was built in between 1066 and 1088 after William The Conqueror's Victory at the Battle of Hastings. It was an Old Neolithic Circle Fort/Town that is about as Old (if not Older) than The Stonehenge.
William The Conqueror had it Built Up into a Castle within a Inner Moat (Dug for the Castle) so that he could hold his First Court. At the First Court, all of England's Nobility, Landowners, and Clergy were bad to come come to Old Sarum to Swear Loyalty to William the Conqueror.
After Touring through the Inner Bailey of the Castle Complex, I then went around to Tour the Ruins of the Old Sarum Cathedral.

Here is the Cathedral Treasury Stronghold:
http://www.cauldronliving.com/images/uploads/SarumCathTr1.jpg
Upon closely examining the Ruins of the Cathedral Treasure Room, I discovered that the Large Foundation Stones of the Treasure Room are Hard Sarcen Sandstone, which The Stonehenge is made from.
Having found the Hard Sarcen Sandstone in the Foundations of Old Sarums Cathedral and knowing how t Christians in the 11th Century did not have any hesitation on desecrating Pagan Holy Sites in order to Build their own Churches, they would not have thought nothing of taking already Refined Sarcen Rock from The Stonehenge and using them for their own purposes.
So after examining the Stones closely, and concluding that they are indeed Sarcen Rock, I decided that they must be Missing Pieces of The Stonehenge. After all, the Cathedral was hit by Lightening just 5 days after it was completed, heavily damaging it in 1135. I think the Lightening was caused by the POed Spirits of the Celtic Labours who worked sooooo hard on building The Stonehenge in order to show their Displeasure of the Monument they Laboured On sooooooo Hard being Torn Down and Broken Up!
So it was then that I decided to do a Ritual asking the Stones for Forgiveness for what we did to them.
Seeing as there was going to a Medieval Tournament the following Saturday, I decided to do the Ritual during their Festival.
So I got together a Pack filled with my Glastonbury bought Lavender Incense Sticks, my Canteen of Glasonbury Tor White Spring Water, a Red Candle, and Matches.
When I got to the Festival, I bought a Child's Wood Sword, deciding to make it the Athame for my Ritual. I decided to Consecrate it and then make it a gift to my 4 year old Nephew. I would Consecrate it by using it in my Ritual.
So after enjoying some of the Entertainment of the Medieval Festival, I went off to do my Ritual.
When I got there, I took out the 4 Sticks of Glastonbury Lavender Incense that I had brought with me, the Red Candle, and my Glastonbury Tor Holy White Spring Water.
First I put down the Eastern Incense Stick while mumbling aloud something like: "Welcome Watchtower of the East to my Ritual of Peace and Cleansing on these Sacred Stones".
I then placed down the Southern Incense Stick while mumbling: "Welcome Watchtower of the South to my Ritual of Peace and Cleansing on these Sacred Stones".
Then I placed down the Western Incense Stick while mumbling something like: "Welcome Watchtower of the West to my Ritual of Peace and Cleansing on these Sacred Stones".
And lastly, I placed down the Northerly Incense Stick while mumbling something like: "Welcome Watchtower of the South to my Ritual of Peace and Cleansing on these Sacred Stones".
Then I took out my Red Candle and Matches. I lit the Candle.
I took the Red Candle, and started at the Eastern Incense Stick, I lit it while mumbling something like: "Greetings Guardian of the Sacred Element of Air. I Empower you to bring Peace and Cleansing to this Ritual on these Sacred Stones".
http://www.cauldronliving.com/images/uploads/EastStick.jpg
Then I lit the Southern Incense Stick while mumbling: "Greetings Guardian of the Sacred Element of Fire. I Empower you to bring Peace and Cleansing to this Ritual on these Sacred Stones".
http://www.cauldronliving.com/images/uploads/SouthStick.jpg
I lit the Westerly Incense Stick while mumbling something like: "Greetings Guardian of the Sacred Element of Water. I Empower you to bring Peace and Cleansing to this Ritual on these Sacred Stones".
http://www.cauldronliving.com/images/uploads/WestStick.jpg
Finally, I lit the Northerly Incense Stick while mumbling something like: "Greetings Guardian of the Sacred Element of Earth. I Empower you to bring Peace and Cleansing to this Ritual on these Sacred Stones".
http://www.cauldronliving.com/images/uploads/NorthStick.jpg
After all the Incense was Lit, I dripped some Wax onto the Center of the Pillar and put my Candle down on it while saying something like: "This Sacred Circle is now Invoked for my Ritual of Cleansing, So Mote It Be".
http://www.cauldronliving.com/images/uploads/Candle.jpg
I then got out my Canteen of Glastonbury Holy White Water, uncapped it, and then started Washing the Harm out of the Stones. I started at the Stone nearest to the Easternly Incense stick, and gave it Three Spashes of the Water, and with my Left Hand, would rub the Stones soothingly and softly while saying something like: "May the Karmanic Energies of the Harm that was done to you be Cleansed from you. I see you are Sacred, and I Honour you, and may you Forgive Mankind for our Transgressions against you", over and over again.
I proceeded to go to the Southerly Stone, washing it down 3 Times while Cleansing that Quarter of the Harmfull Karmanic Energies from it while asking it for Forgiveness.
I went around the Four Quarters Three Times, giving each Quarter Three Small Splashes, and then rubbing it down while constantly making my Chant of: "May the Harmfully Karmanic Energies within you be Cleansed away, and may you find Forgiveness for Mankind", over and over again.
Once I finished Opening the Quarters, I then sat down to enjoy the Candle and the Incense Burning.

I then went around the Circle once with my New Wooden Athame. I started at the Eastern Incense Stick, and I waved my Wooden Athame around it in a Clockwise Direction Three Times while reciting something like: "May this Incense Smokey Bless and Consecrate my Wooden Athame, So Mote It Be".
A few People came down into the Treasure Room where I was Enjoying my Sacred Circle. They asked what I was doing, and that was when I pointed out to them that I was honouring the Sarcen Stones, which according to my theory may have been taken from the Stonehenge. Most of them seemed to understand what I was trying to do and wished me well with it.
After the Incense Burnt Out, I remained enjoying the Central Red Candle until it had Melted Down and was not long for going out by itself. I then took out my Wooden Athame and it used it to Extinquish the Red Candle while reciting: "Please Grant Mankind Happiness by your Forgiveness, and with No Harm To None, So Mote It Be".
I then gathered my belongings, put on my back pack and went off and rejoined the Medieval Tournament Festivities.
