According to some theorists, women do not really need anything to do magic - they have magic between their legs. It's us men who need to utilize wands and chalices to imitate that result. :P
some satanic rituals have men drinking menstrual 'flow' out of a chalice as a way of breaking from all established religious and societal mores.
Ok that's one bridge too far for me. :P

I find that in yoga the hardest exercises for me are the ones that involve "ego eradication". Though it's mainly because they make my arms hurt like a motherfucker. :P

Ego eradication would be much easier if you saw yourself the way we see you.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

... contemplation of something outside of themself.



That's my take on spirituality as well.

That's funny coming from you. Considering my Languish "enemies" are Neil and raz, I guess I should congratulate myself. :D

Why worship a flag or god when we could worship the best of us: our will to be great?
Because that doesn't actually exist.

Recently I have been studying the Nag Hammadi Gnostic codex, the Apocryphon of John.

Interesting that you should start this thread today. A friend of mine noted last week that when she's not nurturing her spirituality, it's a lot like not getting enough sleep. She becomes crabby, defensive, and downright annoyed at life. But since she doesn't really belong to any organized religion, it's become more difficult to nurture that aspect of her life. I find I have the same problem.

So, together we've decided to spend one night a month tapping into that part of our psyche. As soon as we decided to do that, other women mentioned that they, too, felt that same draw. So, tonight I'm having five other women over to the house to spend time together to meditate and discuss our spiritual needs.

It sounds horribly weird and odd, but in truth I seriously miss the commaraderie of the ritual of going to church on Sunday morning, hearing the mass said, singing the responses, taking communion, etc. What I don't miss is the bs that comes from following a specific religion. This sort of mini-mediation session will hopefully fill that.

Hello there. :)

Unitarianism is like drinking water. Utterly boring.

Morons ranting about idiotic ideas does clearly appeal to you, being a Languish poster and all.

Negative.  It is stupid, and without moral value.
