What Do You Want to See In Here?

[Cloaked Raven]

Hi everyone!!

I'm looking for ideas for this forum... Discussions ideas, etc.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please either post them here in this thread or you can contact me via PM or VM.

All ideas are welcome!!

Thanks!! :)

I'm not a Christian Witch, but, I do like learning about it, so, hopefully, my ideas might be ok.

Maybe a thread of recommending reading for Christian Witches, or even a thread where different books relevant to Christian Witches (or Christian Pagans) are reviewed.

Edit: Just realized there's a thread of recommended books and sites at the top of this forum _inabox_, but, I do like the review idea.

[Cloaked Raven]

We could set up a thread to review them... That is a good idea, David. Thanks!! :boing:

[David19]

No problem, glad I could help :).

Some Christian Witchcraft does incorporate voodoo/santeria.

Others use Enochican magic or gnostic beliefs.

No idea what you mean by "magic tree"

[HerbGurl]

Book reviews would be great. Some other ideas might be ritual ideas, celebrations, prayers, invocations, practices.
Posts on personal philosopy involving this path might also be interesting.

[Cloaked Raven]

Thanks for the ideas. :) We can start up a prayer thread with our favorite prayers in it for starters. The other ideas can be added in time.

I was thinking about setting up a sticky for anyone who is on a Christo Pagan path to drop by and say hello too.

IF I understand the question, I need to ask the result. that is to say, what our forum needs is dependent on where we want to be

Good question, in order to answer I would like to redefine the question , and please absolve me of bad typing due to mytouch has no keyboard.
Is the church, Really universal? Is my brethren on the west coast as much part of my flock as if They were right next door?
I believe so. I would love to worship w them every week, though I promise disagreements will happen and cease as we know each other in an intimate setting a forum cant provide
Given our internet presence, my siblings are part of my flock, yet where are they, geographically?

This fine outlet cannot sustain itself just being a cyber forum. People such as your humble brother need more. Physical interaction, which could well lead to doing spell work and Worship together in real time.

I think this board is a great way to meet others. Yet, can't help but fall short if there are no human interactions, for the flesh to flesh, irl is what is neeeded.

Speaking out of ignorance, how many members does our group have across the nation ?
5 different Geo areas? That is a good start. If we can get each of 5 to do nothing more than reach out to three others who (while not following our path), can recognize. (and support) what we are about, would that help find 10 others who are curious? 5? Lets do 2

So region 1 by splitting up us into "dioceses". I live in "dio" new England (we can change name, though I believe it. Works), by creating a diocese web site where we can post questions we do and explain what we are about, hopefully with opportunities for others to worship with us, I feel more people will make this board more lively.

We also should create a "how did you find us poll?" So that we can see which sources are fruitful to find Seekers.

So what is or our group needs? I humbly believe we need marching orders. An organized way to reach out to others. For, imho, a church is the people meeting irl.

what if people post up how they got started on their path... or like what drew them here.

if your someone like me, seeking and searching, how does one know where to begin? The bible is a very confusing and long book. breaking it down helps, but when there is no one to discuss it with, it becomes rather lonely.

just some thoughts.

I'm often a bored academic, so I wouldn't mind doing studies of various texts. I have contributed to Bible studies before. It might also be interesting to study other deities that were popular in the early AD era like Mithras and Isis.

[Cloaked Raven]

We did have Sacred Text discussions in the Abrahamic Faiths forum at one point but a lot of people didn't participate in them after a while.

There is a thread about everyone's journey from Christianity and other paths into the one they are on today... But that thread doesn't really cover what's in the bible and such either.

I always suggest that if someone has a question or wishes to start a discussion please do so. Asking questions and such is how one learns after all. :)

So, ask and share everyone. :)

[LadyDryad]

I've been giving this some serious thought, because I would like to see more discussion in this forum, but so far haven't come up with something that I think would be good.

One of these days I'm just going to say "screw it" and post something! hahaha
