@knobylob I know that, and I'm not saying that it's not effective. Who am I to judge? I'm simply saying that I myself find it better for ME to say what comes to my heart, not memorizing the words of others. However, I realize that there are different ways of doing things and for some people, that works better than improvising. Both are perfectly fine and equally magickal, I'm sure.
Although people have said that this looks 'forced', what made this really cool for me to watch was that everyone seemed, at least on the outside, pretty 'normal'. I love how everyone could come to this as they were. It makes me happy to know that this could be what I experience when I get older (I'm fifteen)- a community of people with the same interests. I can't wait!
@bombygriz You took the words right outta my mouth ! I'm also fifteen and can't wait to be able to travel and be surrounded by these people and their merry festivals. For now, I'm confined to keeping my faith fairly secretive, and only make altars for festivals. But I want to DANCE and chant with others like me. Have a REAL celebration! Blessed be, and let's hope we both find our places in the world :)
Too much exposition. Just *do* it, doin't tell us about it. Do we really have to be told that the maypole is fun? Does it have to be explained "what is customary?" Just *do* it. Think Catholic, not Protestant.
umm im new to wicca but for what i have learned the high priestess and high priest should leard what they are suppose to say not read it and i personaly think she did that circle to fast just a personal thought
but the maypole ceremony looked like fun i havent bein able to be apart of it but im realy exited for this year ^_^
I really wish they wouldn't read from the script. We are taught to memorize our rituals but also add our own little selves into it so it is made believable. Kind of frustrates me and hits me in a dark place when I see them reading because they are suppose to be experienced.
I feel so lonely out here in Olympia, WA. I've always been a solitary practitioner, but mostly because I don't WORSHIP. I don't worship the people and things that I love, and I get questionable looks from the local pagan community because of that. Oh well. I does my heart good to see so many people joined in your community. Maybe I'll find a community of my own, one day. Blessed Be.
I wish I had that. A comunity I mean. The only other ive ever met is my friends boyfriend but he dosnt do elaberate rituals and most my other friends arnt interested in my practices.
@tucazzoti and @rejester1234, clearly you both have been in each others places, and this is just a difference of opinion and what feels right individually, which in the end, is all it comes down to. the main thing I don't like about Christianity is their insistence on pressing their religion on others. Chances are, you will never meet each other in person, so what real difference does it make if you don't convert rejester1234 to your religion? In the end, you only have to worry about, don't you?
@viking403 Ummm? No it isn't bad. It represents each element. The satanic symbol (created way before satanism was wrought) has nothing to do with the original symbol representing the elements. The star pointing down actually was a symbol of the baphomet, a known idol of the religion "Satanism".
wonderful! since I just got my Coven started and made, I'm holding my first coven Beltane ritual this year, and I'm really happy everything worked out for you guys. I cant wait for our Beltane ritual this year! )O( Blessed Be!
hey rejester1234 did you expected the angels and God to come down from heaven while you were attending mass? they didn"t because they knew about your hypocrisy in your faith / heart ...is funny i used to practice wiccan and i perform these false rituals and i felt absolutely nothing i ended i a life similar to yours empty , but with a appearance of order, senssles but with with the illusion of being well planned , dissolute , but with an independent and modern appearance.

okay, what is with all the shouting at the top of your lungs? that's so embarrassing. I can't watch any of the videos from the temple of astral light...you know, shouting as loud as you can doesn't make you cool. Reading off of scripts bothers me too, although I understand why you might have too. But as for the loud shouting business you guys constantly do, I think it's just plain irreverent and it drives me up the wall-I'm not going to watch another video from you guys. it's embarrasing.
@UthorEsse I think I agree... mainly because it says "Corellian Nativist Church"...I've never known of a wiccan church... I could be wrong lol I thought we used covens lol
@TheBritniChannel Or called ourselves "Reverend"...or only did the fuzziest part of anything...or broadcast our ceremonies on Youtube! We are from an esoteric path. To boradcast our true rituals would be antithetical. Who ARE these people?
@TheBritniChannel CNT is just another tradition of neo-pagainsim/wicca...CNT is more public than other traditions, even have a museum of witches in salem, mass. But it is no less wiccan than any other tradition.
Celts that celebrate Beltane didn´t read anything, Celts has not writing by their own, Celts didn´t read texts in the festivals, wiccans are a vulgar copy and melting of a lot invented and a few real traditions that make no sense, if you want rebuild a pagan religions be respectuous with the historic points.
well, that was adorable. i'd like to do that with a whole bunch of people one of these times... but some of them didn't even look like they were having any fun! haha. or maybe didn't feel like dancing.
Ive seen the actual Beltane Fire Festival,quite impressive. But the greatest expression of the Northern peoples in modern days is The Nordic Up Helly Aa
I agree a little with the fact that it's a little scripted -- & although we practice secrecy I pray that someday the world will know how amazing Wicca truly is & how loving & caring the God & Goddess are -- & videos like this are speeding that up!
It's quite late, but, Happy Beltaine everyone! Blessed Be! )0( & Happy Mabon in a month or so!
This particular event seems so forced to me; people are reading off scripts instead of looking at each other, and reacting too late when they realize what they just said was supposed to be directed at someone, or said with emotion.
I'm not trying to say everything has to be spontaneous or crazy, but most of these participants seem half-hearted and inhibited, while one lady overcompensates trying to get everyone into it.
What's preventing the joy, energy and real magic of free enthusiasm?

@bKiwiD what do you think the priests and what not do... THEY READ OUT OF THE BIBLE!!! do you realy think half the people that go to church even read the bible!?!? HELL NO. Anyways the bible is based off of the Samarian bible which was created 2,000 years before the bible even existed. DO RESEARCH!!! instead of becoming just another blind sheep.
@bKiwiD All religions work off scripts, example: Christmas Nativity, the holy mass in the catholic church on sundays. The congregation absorb it in their own life and they always seem to be more concerned with what the next one is doing. Here we are a group and we are also absorbing this very spiritual ritual.
Don't judge lest he be judged... Merry meet and merry part
@bKiwiD Not enough sex! Beltane is about fertility and all that juicy sacred greenwood marriage stuff ! The maypole dance was like watching a boot camp exercise class!
It's hard to raise energy when you are reading from a script.
@bKiwiD I completely agree, in our circle, everything is off book, you have to memorise it. Can you imagine doing the first part of the rune and power raising off a sheet of paper? utterly fail.
It depends on the circle itself, however most legitimate ones wont accept anyone under 18 unless a parent or legal guardian consents and/or accompanies them.
stop yelling at one another about stuff like this rather you christian or pagan your not going to feel anything unless you truly believe in it
i feel nothing special in christian religion and im starting to look at pagan and its feeling much more fulfilling to me but that dosent mean its better for everyone your faith is in you and what ever you accept is the one that will give you power rather it be threw energys of the universe or the power of god both will be blocked if you don't believe...
hey redhead1234 did you expected the angels and GOD to come down from heaven while u were attending mass? they didn"t because they knew about your hypocrisy in your faith/heart is funny i used to practice wiccan and i perform all those false rituals and i felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING i ended in a life similar to yours EMPTYbut with a appearence of order SENSSLES but with the illusion of being well planned DISSOLUTE,but with an independent and modern appearance.
Hey tucazzoti... Did you know that Christianity is based off of Pagan religion??? Do your research! We do worship the God and Goddess. Its not our fault that the church doesn't acknowledge the divine feminine. I used to belong to the catholic church, and I felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while attending mass. In fact, God NEVER answered any of my prayers. Now that I am Wiccan, I am spiritually fulfilled. Just because we don't believe in fearing and worshiping ONE GOD that doesn't make s wrong...
@redjester1234 Actually, Christianity (or their version of it) was added to Paganism by the Roman empire. They figured if they couldn't beat Jesus, why not join him, it was a good way to keep everyone happy without losing power. The Roman Catholic church is a wonderful mixured of Pseudo-Christianity and Paganism. Christianity did not stem from Paganism. Jesus warned people to not have anything to do with it.They have nothing in common.
@redjester1234 it is based off of paganism.and christianity doesnt appricate the feminine aspect and hates gays and hates everything thats not christian.and you wonder why soo many people are leaving christianity
i am in agreement with you redjester1234... many religions are based off paganism so that the transition would be easier. they pray to their saints just like we do our gods and goddesses. i also used to b catholic and of my own free will changed. marry ye meet and marry ye part
Not only is christianity based off of the eldests of paganism, It also comes from all over the world. The egg is a symbol of fertility, and so is the rabbit. Easter bunny, anyone? The time of christmas Is right next to our candlemas. They've evolved all of our teachings to their own, along with all the other teachings they've "stolen".
But please, don't try to make them understand. All they'll do is say that you're lying and that they've brainwashed you or some crap like that.

what i dont understad ......why worship the moon , the forest or ur neighbor's rabbit..why not instead worship the one who created that and much more.....GOD.
Don't take offense to the religion tucazzoti, the reason we can't worship "God" is not a matter of ignorance, it's simply that while for you it may be easier to see one being as having created all, for others the things that we see and feel are sacred, tangibly and before our eyes, are what we hold most revered. Neither is wrong, but it's how we are. I personally feel nothing in church trying to comprehend a God that is so omniprescent he may as well not exist.
They dont worship the moon/ the forest or the neighbor's rabbit. We witches worship the nature and the God(male) and Goddess(female) that created everything on the great plant called earth. The moon was created by the goddess for us witches to draw on its energy in times of need and same goes for the sun. The forest and every living thing including the neighbor's rabbit is sacred to us Wiccans. Now like i said before we Witches do worship the the one who created everything The Goddess.
i am sorry if i was not making sence. I was just saying that all living things are sacred to us and that we worship the God(male) and the Goddess(female) of everything on the earth.
I have never heard of a Wiccan that worshiped the moon, a forest, or a rabbit. According to their tradition they worship a God and Goddess or a pantheon with a primary God and Goddess.
I'm not sure if even a Druid worships a forest...
In wicca, the moon symbolizes the goddess and the sun symbolizes the god. They worship the forest because it is the earth (one of the 5 elements) and, in some strains, is seen as the mother goddess also. And Druids do worship the forest.
@Shilastyle Sorry, about that. when I asked a group of Wiccans on Beliefnet as while ago if they did worship animals or plants or trees or the moon in and of themselves I was told in no uncertain terms that they did not. That rather it was what these things represented in a spiritual sense that they worshiped. But I do stand corrected.
@Jayjen35 That´s nothing to concern with satanism, that´s not christian, that´s not an Asian original religion as christianism, that performs as a European pagan cult
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
a cult is..a group of people performing false ritual for false god...example.. just watch this video again..wiccan and satanism are the 2 faces of the same coin
5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.
6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.
8. any system for treating human sickness that originated by a person usually claiming to have sole insight into the nature of disease, and that employs methods regarded as unorthodox or unscientific.
by your definition you would be referring to no. 6, however, Wicca has no leader, unlike your pope we have no central figure we look to as all are equal.
Try doing some research first before you start shouting your mouth off about stuff you don't understand
Wow! wrong on ALL counts! Seriously, don't get your religion, much less arguments against other people's religion from a Chick Tract or Tract-like source...
I loved this. Very few of my friends and I celebrated Beltane. It's amazing to know that so many follow the wonderful Wiccan faith, be they old, young, plump, petite, short, tall...there is no limitation. Blessed be!
hmm... overweight-ness is a problem nowadays but I guess it doesn't end the world if a wiccan is fat. After all. Most of the rest of us are fat aswell.
Introducing JESUS The Second Adam The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God For the Messiah also suffered for sins once for all, an innocent person for the guilty Jesus saith I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I find this rather hopeless. It reminds of of a christian church service....that's why it misses the point. I don't like - or approve of - organised religion in this way.
Of course, I would expect this point to be lost on idiots like ''Hardcoreraver267'', who wrote:- ''if you have a problem with what other people do keep it too yourself''
- why then am I being invited to leave comments? If comments aren't wanted then disable to comment box!
Some aspects of a church service are not all that bad.
Fellowship is something many people value.
Simply because these people value the same kind of thing does not mean they are any less spiritual. Not everybody can adhere to the more complex practices. Keep in mind, those can often feel nice and "evolved", but spiritual preferences develop and recede in different ways. It is mostly individualistic, and the effectiveness is not compromised.
I agree and disagree. I don't like organized rituals if they are meaningless. Like if its all rehearsed and really has no true significance. But if everyone can feel the energy and happiness and not just saying words, then I approve of it.
I just love to think of someone looking out their window and seeing you guys and thinking, what on EARTH are these weirdos doing??? bwahaha. Happy early Beltane and Blessed Be. :) Thanks for sharing.
I'm new to Wicca and i hope to attend a Beltane Ritual! )0(

okay, what is with all the shouting at the top of your lungs? that's so embarrassing. I can't watch any of the videos from the temple of astral light...you know, shouting as loud as you can doesn't make you cool. Reading off of scripts bothers me too, although I understand why you might have too. But as for the loud shouting business you guys constantly do, I think it's just plain irreverent and it drives me up the wall-I'm not going to watch another video from you guys. it's embarrasing.

Celts that celebrate Beltane didn´t read anything, Celts has not writing by their own, Celts didn´t read texts in the festivals, wiccans are a vulgar copy and melting of a lot invented and a few real traditions that make no sense, if you want rebuild a pagan religions be respectuous with the historic points.

This particular event seems so forced to me; people are reading off scripts instead of looking at each other, and reacting too late when they realize what they just said was supposed to be directed at someone, or said with emotion.
I'm not trying to say everything has to be spontaneous or crazy, but most of these participants seem half-hearted and inhibited, while one lady overcompensates trying to get everyone into it.
What's preventing the joy, energy and real magic of free enthusiasm?

@bKiwiD All religions work off scripts, example: Christmas Nativity, the holy mass in the catholic church on sundays. The congregation absorb it in their own life and they always seem to be more concerned with what the next one is doing. Here we are a group and we are also absorbing this very spiritual ritual.

Hey tucazzoti... Did you know that Christianity is based off of Pagan religion??? Do your research! We do worship the God and Goddess. Its not our fault that the church doesn't acknowledge the divine feminine. I used to belong to the catholic church, and I felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while attending mass. In fact, God NEVER answered any of my prayers. Now that I am Wiccan, I am spiritually fulfilled. Just because we don't believe in fearing and worshiping ONE GOD that doesn't make s wrong...

@redjester1234 Actually, Christianity (or their version of it) was added to Paganism by the Roman empire. They figured if they couldn't beat Jesus, why not join him, it was a good way to keep everyone happy without losing power. The Roman Catholic church is a wonderful mixured of Pseudo-Christianity and Paganism. Christianity did not stem from Paganism. Jesus warned people to not have anything to do with it.They have nothing in common.

Not only is christianity based off of the eldests of paganism, It also comes from all over the world. The egg is a symbol of fertility, and so is the rabbit. Easter bunny, anyone? The time of christmas Is right next to our candlemas. They've evolved all of our teachings to their own, along with all the other teachings they've "stolen".

Wiccans do worship the same God, and worship the famale Godess as well, if that what God created is also holy, why not worship that?
venusondrugs 2 years ago
Don't take offense to the religion tucazzoti, the reason we can't worship "God" is not a matter of ignorance, it's simply that while for you it may be easier to see one being as having created all, for others the things that we see and feel are sacred, tangibly and before our eyes, are what we hold most revered. Neither is wrong, but it's how we are. I personally feel nothing in church trying to comprehend a God that is so omniprescent he may as well not exist.

They dont worship the moon/ the forest or the neighbor's rabbit. We witches worship the nature and the God(male) and Goddess(female) that created everything on the great plant called earth. The moon was created by the goddess for us witches to draw on its energy in times of need and same goes for the sun. The forest and every living thing including the neighbor's rabbit is sacred to us Wiccans. Now like i said before we Witches do worship the the one who created everything The Goddess.

In wicca, the moon symbolizes the goddess and the sun symbolizes the god. They worship the forest because it is the earth (one of the 5 elements) and, in some strains, is seen as the mother goddess also. And Druids do worship the forest.

@Shilastyle Sorry, about that. when I asked a group of Wiccans on Beliefnet as while ago if they did worship animals or plants or trees or the moon in and of themselves I was told in no uncertain terms that they did not. That rather it was what these things represented in a spiritual sense that they worshiped. But I do stand corrected.

michaelclarke18 2 years ago
Some aspects of a church service are not all that bad.
Fellowship is something many people value.
Simply because these people value the same kind of thing does not mean they are any less spiritual. Not everybody can adhere to the more complex practices. Keep in mind, those can often feel nice and "evolved", but spiritual preferences develop and recede in different ways. It is mostly individualistic, and the effectiveness is not compromised.
