Philosophy Of Religion
Philosophy is the most critical and comprehensive thought process developed by human beings. It is quite different from religion in that where philosophy is both critical and comprehensive, religion is comprehensive but not necessarily critical. Religion attempts to offer a view of all of life and the universe and to offer answers to most, if not all, of the most basic and important questions which occur to humans all over the planet. The answers offered by religion are not often subject to the careful scrutiny of reason and logic. Indeed many religious beliefs defy logic and seem to be unreasonable. Religion has its basis in belief. Philosophy, on the other hand, is a critic of belief and belief systems. Philosophy subjects what some would be satisfied in believing to severe examination. Philosophy looks for rational explications and justifications for beliefs. Philosophy has its basis in reason.
Philosophy of religion is the philosophical study of the meaning and nature of religion. It includes the analyses of religious concepts, beliefs, terms, arguments, and practices of religious adherents. The scope of much of the work done in philosophy of religion has been limited to the various theistic religions. More recent work often involves a broader, more global approach, taking into consideration both theistic and non-theistic religious traditions. The range of those engaged in the field of philosophy of religion is broad and diverse and includes philosophers from the analytic and continental traditions, Eastern and Western thinkers, religious believers and agnostics, skeptics and atheists. Philosophy of religion draws on all of the major areas of philosophy as well as other relevant fields, including theology, history, sociology, psychology, and the natural sciences.
The field is related to many other branches of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. The philosophy of religion differs from religious philosophy in that it seeks to discuss questions regarding the nature of religion as a whole, rather than examining the problems brought forth by a particular belief-system. It can be carried out dispassionately by those who identify as believers or non-believers. In Asia include texts such as the Hindu Upanishads, the works of Daoism and Confucianism and Buddhist texts. Greek philosophies like Pythagoreanism and Stoicism included religious elements and theories about deities, and Medieval philosophy was strongly influenced by the big three monotheistic Abrahamic religions.
Some aspects of philosophy of religion have classically been regarded as a part of metaphysics. In Aristotle’s Metaphysics, the necessarily prior cause of eternal motion was an unmoved mover, who, like the object of desire, or of thought, inspires motion without itself being moved. Philosophers have adopted the term “Philosophy Of Religion” for the subject, and typically it is regarded as a separate field of specialization as a part of metaphysics.

Magic Parchment Paper and Vellum
Parchment is a writing material made from specially prepared untanned skins of animals sheep, calves, and goats. It has been used as a writing medium for over two millennia. Vellum is a finer quality parchment made from the skins of young animals such as lambs and young calves. Parchment is another term for this material, from which Witchcraft is sometimes distinguished, when it is made from calfskin, as opposed to that made from other animals, or otherwise being of higher quality. Vellum is prepared for writing or printing on, to produce single pages, scrolls, codices, or books.
In western civilizations, Papyrus, which originated in 3,000 B.C.E. in Egypt, was later replaced by parchment made by treating animal hide, a process starting in the second century B.C. in the Mediterranean region A wide variety of Parchments from various animal skins, with different textures, quality and hue were widely used for codices, religious and cultural texts. This was replaced by the advent and increasing access and availability of paper.
In eastern civilisations such as India, the principal writing media were birch bark and dried palm leaves. The use of paper began only after the 10th century. However, birch bark and palm leaf continue to be used even today on a limited scale in a rural milieu for the use of horoscopes, wedding invitations, and other cultural uses.
In China, the early material was animal bones, later silk, bamboo and wooden slips, until the 2nd century when paper was invented. The invention of paper is attributed to a eunuch of the imperial court called Cai Lun in 105 A.D. However, paper wasn’t introduced to Europe for another thousand years following a battle in 751 A.D. where a few paper-makers were captured and thus the technology spread from Baghdad westward, only reaching Spain in the 12th century.
Paper Parchment is made by passing a waterleaf made of pulp fibers into sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid hydrolyses and solubilises the main natural organic polymer, cellulose, present in the pulp wood fibers. The paper web is then washed in water, which stops the hydrolysis of the cellulose and causes a kind of cellulose coating to form on the waterleaf. The final paper is dried. This coating is a natural non-porous cement, that gives to the Parchment Paper its resistance to grease and its semi-translucency.
Spells have always been written Scented Color Ink on Parchment Paper or Vellum. If writing Ink on “Witchcraft”, you tend to focus more on what and how you are writing your need or wish, which helps you attain your goal and gets the Magic it is a spell for your instructions to the Universe, so hand-made Parchment Paper or Vellum makes it a little more special.

Residential in Pyramide de Couhard, Autun at 1480. A Ludger Bedard deliberately trained his mind and body to near-superhuman abilities almost from birth, giving him great strength and endurance, a photographic memory, a mastery of the martial arts, and vast knowledge of the sciences. Ludger is also a master of disguise and an excellent imitator of voices. He is a physician, scientist, adventurer, detective, inventor, explorer, researcher, laboratory, professional master chefs, wine Burgundy,deductive abilities, occult, paranormal, alchemy, a musician.
The mother of the common law jurisdictions, emerged from the Middle Ages with similar complexity in its legal professions. An equivalent division developed between advocates and procurators in some civil law countries; these two types did not always monopolize the practice of law, in that they coexisted with civil law notaries. Several countries that originally had two or more legal professions have since fused or united their professions into a single type of lawyer. In 1345, the French crown promulgated a royal ordinance which set forth 24 rules governing advocates, of which 12 were integrated into the oath to be taken by them.
In most countries, particularly civil law countries, there has been a tradition of giving many legal tasks to a variety of civil law notaries, clerks, and scriveners. These countries do not have “Lawyers”, insofar as that term refers to a single type of general-purpose legal services provider; rather, their legal professions consist of a large number of different kinds of law-trained persons, known as jurists, some of whom are advocates who are licensed to practice in the courts. It is difficult to formulate accurate generalizations that cover all the countries with multiple legal professions because each country has traditionally had its own peculiar method of dividing up legal work among all its different types of legal professionals.
Legal Advice
Legal advice is the application of abstract principles of law to the concrete facts of the client’s case to advise the client about what they should do next. In many countries, only a properly licensed lawyer may provide legal advice to clients for good consideration, even if no lawsuit is contemplated or is in progress. Therefore, even conveyancers and corporate in-house counsel must first get a license to practice, though they may actually spend very little of their careers in court. Failure to obey such a rule is the crime of the unauthorized practice of law.
In virtually all countries, patents, trademarks, industrial designs and other forms of intellectual property must be formally registered with a government agency in order to receive maximum protection under the law.
In some countries, the negotiating and drafting of contracts is considered to be similar to the provision of legal advice, so that it is subject to the licensing requirement explained above. In others, jurists or notaries may negotiate or draft contracts. Conveyancing is the drafting of the documents necessary for the transfer of real property, such as deeds and mortgages. In some jurisdictions, all real estate transactions must be carried out by a lawyer. In others, the use of a lawyer is optional and banks, title companies, or realtors may be used instead. In some civil law jurisdictions, real estate transactions are handled by civil law notaries.
In many countries, only lawyers have the legal authority to draft wills, trusts, and any other documents that ensure the efficient disposition of a person’s property after death. In some civil law countries, this responsibility is handled by civil law notaries.
The Ludger-lawyers relationship is Autun, Couhard Pyramid, lands in such famous wine-producing areas, Paris, Cardiff, London, banks, title companies, trusts, Etc… Travel in 1530-1590 is London, England.

Beltane
Beltane May Day festival. Commonly observed on the first of May, the festival falls midway between the spring equinox and summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. The word “Beltane” roughly translates as “Bright Fire” and, as such, one of the most important rituals, which survives today in our modern festival, concerns the lighting of the Beltane bonfire. Fire was seen as a purifier and healer and would have been walked around and danced, jumped over by the members of the community. Farmers would also have driven their cattle between bonfires to cleanse and protect them before being put out into the fields. It marked the beginning of summer and was when cattle were driven out to the summer pastures.
Rituals were performed to protect cattle, people and crops, and to encourage growth. Special bonfires were kindled, whose flames, smoke and ashes were deemed to have protective powers. The people and their cattle would walk around or between bonfires, and sometimes leap over the flames or embers. All household fires would be doused and then re-lit from the Beltane bonfire. These gatherings would be accompanied by a feast, and some of the food and drink would be offered to the Beltane. Doors, windows, byres and livestock would be decorated with yellow May flowers, perhaps because they evoked fire.
In ancient communities, all hearth fires would have been extinguished and a new neid fire lit which would have then been used to relight people’s hearths in their own homes. In this way the community was connected to each other by the sacred fire which was central to all. The festival would also have been a time of courtship rituals and a celebration of our own fertility.
The important point to note when thinking about our own festival is the joy and the revelry that is fostered in the ritual. It is about casting off the darkness and celebrating the light. It is a time for celebrating fertility, both in the context of our biological functions as well as our own creative energies, the fertility of our creative community.
Yellow and white flowers such as primrose, rowan, hawthorn, gorse, hazel, and marsh marigold were traditionally placed at doorways and windows. Sometimes loose flowers were strewn at doors and windows and sometimes they were made into bouquets, garlands or crosses and fastened to them. They would also be fastened to cows and equipment for milking and butter making. It is likely that such flowers were used because they evoked fire. Similar May Day customs are found across Europe.
Beltane Rituals
- Fire: Go outside and safely have a bonfire with friends. Bring fresh foods from local gardens to eat over the flames and give thanks to your community by bringing them together.
- Create A Fairy Altar: The veil is thin during Beltane and creatures from the other realms often visit. Create a small altar for them when they visit, fill it with colorful flowers, ripe smells and sweet tasting food.
- Create Flower Crowns: The season is bursting with flowers, why not adorn yourself and your family with them too. Weave together long grasses and stems with flowers and sing songs throughout your neighborhood.
- Maypole: This can be done on a small and large scale. Wooden dowels work amazing for every person to craft their own maypole with flowers and ribbon. They also make great garden ornaments when you’re done.
- Cast A Spell: Beltane is rich with magic, especially for fertility and love. Write your intention or wish on a piece of paper and blow it into the wind, or sing it out and let the wind carry your words out into the universe.
- Moon Phases: Couples, if you and your significant other are long-term partners, this is a time of renewal and rededication of devotion.

Horned God
The Horned God represents the male part of the religion’s duotheistic theological system, the consort of the female Triple Mother Goddess of the Moon. In common Witchcraft belief, he is associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting, and the life cycle. Whilst depictions of the deity vary, he is always shown with either horns or antlers upon his head, often depicted as being theriocephalic, in this way emphasizing “The Union Of The Divine And The Animal”, the latter of which includes humanity.
In traditional Witchcraft, he is generally regarded as a dualistic god of twofold aspects: bright and dark, night and day, summer and winter, the Horned God. In this dualistic view, his two horns symbolize, in part, his dual nature. For Witchcraft, the Horned God is “The Personification Of The Life Force Energy In Animals And The Wild” and is associated with the wilderness, virility and the hunt. The Horned God also carries the souls of the dead to the underworld. Witchcraft generally tend to conceive of the universe as polarized into gender opposites of male and female energies. The Horned God and the Goddess are seen as equal and opposite in gender polarity.
Mother Triple Goddess
The Mother Triple Goddess is viewed as a triunity of three distinct aspects or figures united in one being. These three figures are often described as the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, each of which symbolizes both a separate stage in the female life cycle and a phase of the Moon, and often rules one of the realms of heavens, earth, and underworld. Her masculine consort is the Horned God. A is a Mother Triple Goddess who represents a personified deification of motherhood, fertility, creation, destruction, or the earth goddess who embodies the bounty of the earth or nature.
That primitive societies initially were matriarchal, worshipping a sovereign, nurturing, motherly earth goddess. This is accompanied by a desire for a lost civilization from a bygone era that would have been just, peaceful, and wise. Mother Triple Goddess of maiden, mother, and crone. In their view, sexuality, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other female reproductive processes, are ways that women may embody the Goddess, making the physical body sacred.
- The Maiden represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the promise of new beginnings, birth, youth and youthful enthusiasm, represented by the waxing moon.
- The Mother represents ripeness, fertility, sexuality, fulfilment, stability, power and life represented by the full moon.
- The Crone represents wisdom, repose, death, and endings represented by the waning moon.

Faery
Faery, a mythical being of folklore and romance usually having magic powers and dwelling on earth in close relationship with humans. It can appear as a dwarf creature typically having green clothes and hair, living underground or in stone heaps, and characteristically exercising magic powers to benevolent ends; as a diminutive sprite commonly in the shape of a delicate, beautiful, ageless winged woman dressed in diaphanous white clothing, inhabiting fairyland, but making usually well-intentioned intervention in personal human affairs; or as a tiny, mischievous, and protective creature generally associated with a household hearth.
While many of these depictions are considered purely fictional, creatures such as Faery’s, somewhat like human beings but with abilities that transcend the physical realm, find correlates in the angels or other spiritual beings of many religions. When a belief in the afterlife and the realm of spirit are accepted, the existence of beings that have such “Supernatural” abilities becomes possible. Thus, it may be that the origin of such creatures lies not so much in the desire of human beings to experience all that the physical world has to offer, but rather in fleeting experiences of creatures from the spiritual realm.
While the term Faery goes back only to the Middle Ages in Europe, analogues to these beings in varying forms appear in both written and oral literature, from the Sanskrit gandharva to the Nymphs of Greek mythology and Homer, the Jinni of Arabic mythology, and similar folk characters of the Samoans, of the Arctic peoples, and of other Indigenous Americans.
Faery’s are generally portrayed as humanoid in appearance and as having supernatural abilities such as the ability to fly, cast spells, and to influence or foresee the future. Although in modern culture they are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, females of small stature, they originally were depicted much differently: Tall, radiant, angelic beings or short, wizened trolls being some of the commonly mentioned. Even with these small Faery’s, however, their small size may be magically assumed rather than constant. Wings, while common in Victorian artwork of Faery’s, are very rare in the folklore; even very small Faery’s flew with magic, sometimes flying on ragwort stems or the backs of birds.
Much folklore of Faery’s involves methods of protecting oneself from their malice, by means such as cold iron, charms of rowan trees or various herbs, or simply shunning locations “Known” to be theirs, ergo avoiding offending any Faery’s. Less harmful pranks ascribed to Faery’s include: tangling the hair of sleepers into Faery-locks, stealing small items, and leading a traveler astray. More dangerous behaviors were also attributed to Faery’s; any form of sudden death might have stemmed from a fairy kidnapping, the evident corpse a magical replica of wood. Consumption was sometimes blamed on Faery’s who forced young men and women to dance at revels every night, causing them to waste away from lack of rest. Rowan trees were considered Sacred to Faery’s, and a charm tree to protect one’s home.

Magic Bag
Magic Bag is an amulet consisting of a flannel bag containing one or more magical items. It is a “Prayer In A Bag”, or a spell that can be carried with or on the host’s body. The creation of Magic Bags is an esoteric system that involves sometimes housing spirits inside of bags for either protection, healing, or harm and to consult with spirits. Other times Magic Bags are created to manifest results in a person’s life such as good-luck, money or love.
Magic Bags using leather or cloth and placed feathers, animal bones, animal teeth, claws, animal parts, roots, lucky hand root, herbs, bean, ceramics, glass beads, minerals, coins, crystals, good luck tokens, amulets, lizard’s tail, rabbit’s foot, a fish eye, snake skins, a beetle and other ingredients for protection. The more personalized objects are used to add extra power because of their symbolic value. Magic Bags can be hung from trees, tied to a string, worn underneath the clothes to cause an effect on the target. Magic Bags usually made by a respected community conjure Witchcraft Doctor. Natural ingredients have their own indwelling spirit that can be utilized in Magic Bags to bring luck and protection.
Witchcraft where it is said to drive away evil spirits, keep good luck in the household, manipulate a fortune, and lure and persuade lovers. The ideology of the ancestors and the descendants of the Magic Bag used this “Prayer In A Bag” based on their belief of spiritual inheritance, by which the omniscient forefathers of their families would provide protection and favor, especially when they used the Magic Bag. Through this, a strong belief was placed in the idealism of whoever used Witchcraft, creating a spiritual trust in the magic itself.
There is a process to fixing a proper Magic Bag. A ritual must be put in place in order to successfully prepare a Magic Bag by being filled and awakened to life. This can be done by smoking incense and candles, or it may be breathed upon to bring it to life. Prayers may be said, and other methods may be used to accomplish this essential step. Once prepared, the Magic Bag is “Dressed” or “Fed” with a liquid such as alcohol, perfume, or water. The reason it is said to feed the Magic Bag to keep it working is that it is alive with spirit.

Atheism
The term “Atheist” describes a person who does not believe that God or a divine being exists. Worldwide there may be as many as a billion atheists, although social stigma, political pressure, and intolerance make accurate polling difficult. For the most part atheist and they have argued that the evidence in favor of God’s existence is too weak, or the arguments in favor of concluding there is no God are more compelling.
Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is a rejection of the belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Despite the fuzzy definitions, researchers are beginning to home in on the factors that influence whether someone believes. According to this line of thinking, people with stronger analytical abilities are more likely to be nonbelievers, since belief in a higher power requires having faith in something that can’t be proven. The flip side of that argument is that believers may be more inclined toward intuitive thinking trusting their guts that a god exists, even in the absence of hard evidence.
Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Atheism is too often defined incorrectly as a belief system. To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.
Atheism is not a belief system nor is it a religion. While there are some religions that are atheistic, that does not mean that atheism is a religion. To put it in a more humorous way: If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Despite the fact that atheism is not a religion, atheism is protected by many of the same Constitutional rights that protect religion. That, however, does not mean that atheism is itself a religion, only that our sincerely held lack of beliefs are protected in the same way as the religious beliefs of others.
Science is based on the observation that the universe is governed by natural laws that can be tested and replicated through experiment. It serves as a reliable, rational basis for predictions and engineering. Like scientists, scientific skeptics use critical thinking to decide claims. They do not base claims on faith or other unfalsifiable categories.

Magic Potion
A Magic Potion is a liquid that contains medicine, or something that is supposed to have magic powers. It derives from the Latin word potus which referred to a drink or drinking. The Magic Potion is also used, often specifically for a love potion, a potion that is supposed to create feelings of love or attraction in the one who drinks it. Throughout history there have been several types of potions for a range of purposes. Emotions such as anger, fear and sadness are universal and as such potions have been created across history and cultures in response to these human emotions. Administered in small doses Magic Potion has been used in Witchcraft as an analgesic, an aphrodisiac and a remedy for infertility. Reasons for taking potions ranged from curing an illness, or love, or health care, or restorative, or hallucinogenic, Etc…
Considering that these practices align more with cultural views and beliefs, many of these individuals used Magic Potion and traditional medicine or alternative medicine. Magic Potions, in addition to calming teas or soup, were a common homemade treatment. When unable to go to a house member, early modern people would often go to the wise men or women of their village. Wise Wizard or Witch were knowledgeable in health care and could administer potions, lotions or salves in addition to performing prayers or chants.
So, let’s talk Magic Potion. Whether you think of them as mysterious plants that grow in the forest or the row of little bottles in your kitchen cabinet, they’re pretty useful, and they can be pretty confusing, even intimidating. What do you do with them? Which ones do I need? These Magic Potion will help you with almost any need or problem you may have, as we shall explain. If you’re a practitioner of a modern magical tradition, chances are good that you’re in the habit of using Magic Potion. Magic Potion; MagicalHerbs or Magical Oils plants in the form of oil and incense were elements of religious and therapeutic practices in early cultures worldwide. In addition, anointment with perfumes and fragrant oils was an almost universal practice.

Ludger had not been sleeping for more than an hour, when some tremors, affecting the entire cave, awoke him with a start. It felt like an underground rumbling similar to blasting in a mine. He got up, his head throbbing, his knee sore. He looked outside to find out the cause of the commotion. After convincing the horses to cross the cave, they exited by a side tunnel. They made rapid progress, stopping only for short rests. They would not need to follow narrow mountain trails. He was surprised to see the sky lit by some beautiful aurora borealis. The northern lights were dancing in the air making never-ending patterns. He was too tired to admire the spectacle.
Nicolas Rolin
Although his public and lucrative life probably incurred the animosity evident in these comments, they also reflect the rigid social structure of the ducal court; a system contemptuous towards non-nobles, such as Rolin. Rolin spent the majority of his life working for the Valois dukes of Burgundy, and while he was wealthier than many of those with titles around him, he was not noble. Whose famous rivalry with the Rolin family limited and then ended Rolin’s power in the final decade of his life. Battles for status in the hothouse of the Burgundian court system caused the ‘Vulgar Destructive Envy” that marks Rolin’s relationships with his noble contemporaries. He inherited lands in such famous wine-producing areas as Mersault, Auxey, Volnay, Beaune, and Pommard.
Laboratory, Professional Master Chefs, and Wine Burgundy (1480-1530)
Ludger became a noted alchemist of considerable talent, he expanded a collection of recipes, a famous book on cookery and cookery technique, thought to be one of the first professional treatises written in France and upon which the French gastronomic tradition was founded. Managing grapevines can be a surprisingly complicated process, especially when wine production is the end goal. Environmental factors like temperature, soil health, and solar radiation can significantly affect vine performance and fruit quality. Likewise, management-related factors like canopy management, irrigation, planting density, variety and rootstock choice, and site selection play an important role. Plus, grapevines often respond to each of these factors individually, and the interaction of multiple factors can also influence their response.
