Pagans are not Godless people, as modern day society have adapted the word to mean.  The word “Pagan” simply means “People of the Land.”  Originally, this mean the people who did not live in castles as royalty and lived off of what the land afforded them.  “Heathens” were also not Godless, but were “People of the Heath.”  “Heath” is simply an area of low-lying, woody vegetation.  It was merely a denotation of the vegetation that surrounded them, not their spirituality.  When Christianity became a religion of nobility, both the Pagans and Heathens were snubbed as not worshipping the “right” God and as such, were shunned and considered godless, which is how the words became synonymous. 

In this day and time, Pagans are simply people who do not follow the Christian faith exclusively and who embrace “the old ways” of communing with God through nature and who celebrate the expressions of God through the natural processes. 

Witches are similar to Pagans in that they use the natural energies and elements to move energy and create change, each to an individual degree.  The Russian word that means which interprets as “the one who knows” and this is quite accurate.  Witches study the forces of nature and learn to work with those energies to make changes, to heal and to learn.

Wicca is a specific religion developed in the 1950’s by Gerald Gardner and Wiccans are the people who practice that religion.  The path is very ceremonial and divides into different “traditions,” usually specific to the geographical area from where the mythologies they follow originated (i.e Celtic, Egyptian, Nordic, etc).  Some traditions are very secretive and specific in their ceremonial practices and others are quite relaxed and open.  There are many, many individual ways of practicing Wicca.

To wit, a Wiccan could be a Pagan and a Witch at the same time the way a Baptist could be a General Baptist and a Prodestant at the same time. 

A Pagan, however, might not be a Witch and might not be a Wiccan.

The words are often (wrongly) used interchangably.  But now you know!

  1. Europe’s secret season for travel starts now
    [url=https://kra17att.cc]kraken ???????[/url]

    Summer might be the most popular season for tourism to Europe, but it hardly promises a calm, cool and collected experience.

    Who can forget this summer’s protests against overtourism in Barcelona and Mallorca, the wildfires that raged across Greece during the country’s hottest June and July on record and selfie stoplights to help control crowds on the clogged streets of Rome and Florence?

    For travelers looking to avoid all that — as well as break less of a sweat literally and financially — welcome to Europe’s secret season.

    From roughly mid-October to mid-December, shoulder season for travel to Europe comes with fewer crowds, far more comfortable temperatures in places that skew scorching hot during the summer months and plunging prices on airfare and accommodation.

    Plunging prices
    “The cheapest time to fly to Europe is typically from about the middle point of October to the middle point of December,” said Hayley Berg, lead economist at travel platform Hopper. “Airfare prices during those eight or nine weeks or so will typically be about an average of 40% lower than prices in the peak of summer in June.”

    Hopper’s data shows that airfare to Europe from the United States during the period between October 20 and December 8 is averaging between $560 and $630 per ticket — down 9% from this time last year and 5% compared to the same timeframe in 2019.

    Greetings, earthlings! I’m Jackie Wattles, and I’m thrilled to be a new name bringing awe to your inbox.

    I’ve covered space exploration for nearly a decade at CNN, and there has never been a more exciting time to follow space and science discoveries. As researchers push forward to explore and understand the cosmos, advancements in technology are sparking rapid developments in rocketry, astronomical observatories and a multitude of scientific instruments.

    Look no further than the missions racing to unlock dark matter and the mysterious force known as dark energy, both so named precisely because science has yet to explain these phenomena.

    Astronomers have never detected dark matter, but they believe it makes up about 85% of the total matter in the universe. Meanwhile, the existence of dark energy helps researchers explain why the universe is expanding — and why that expansion is speeding up.
    Extraordinary new scientific instruments are churning out trailblazing data, ready to reshape how scientists view the cosmos.

    A prime example is the European Space Agency’s wide-angle Euclid telescope that launched in 2023 to investigate the riddles of dark energy and dark matter.

    Euclid this week delivered the first piece of a cosmic map — containing about 100 million stars and galaxies — that will take six years to create.

    These stunning 3D observations may help scientists see how dark matter warps light and curves space across galaxies.

    Meanwhile, on a mountaintop in northern Chile, the US National Science Foundation and Stanford University researchers are preparing to power up the world’s largest digital camera inside the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

    Unearthed
    In the mountains of Uzbekistan, a research team used lasers strapped to a flying robot to uncover two cities buried and lost for centuries.

    The anthropologists said they had mapped these forgotten medieval towns for the first time — located at a key crossroad of ancient silk trade routes — using a drone equipped with LiDAR, or light detection and ranging equipment.

    When nature reclaims what’s left of once thriving civilizations, scientists are increasingly turning to remote sensing to peer through dense vegetation.

    The images revealed two large settlements dotted with watchtowers, fortresses, complex buildings, plazas and pathways that tens of thousands of people may have called home.

  19. King Charles has led the nation in two minutes of silence in remembrance of men and women who lost their lives serving in the two world wars or other conflicts.

    Tens of thousands of veterans and civilians joined the King in paying their respects to the fallen at the annual National Service of Remembrance ceremony at the Cenotaph in central London.

    The King was joined by other members of the Royal Family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, and political leaders.

    Events to mark Remembrance Sunday – observed on the closest Sunday to Armistice Day – are taking place around the country.

    The King laid the first wreath on behalf of the nation. Dressed in the Royal Navy uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet, he saluted after stepping back from the Cenotaph.

    The King was followed by Queen Camilla’s equerry, Major Ollie Plunket, laying a wreath on her behalf as she is currently recovering from a chest infection.

    Prince William, Prince Edward and Princess Anne followed, then Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the country’s other political leaders.

  32. LSU criticized after bringing caged live tiger into stadium before defeat to Alabama
    [url=https://kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.org]kraken5af44k24fwzohe6fvqfgxfsee4lgydb3ayzkfhlzqhuwlo33ad[/url]
    No. 15 LSU has been criticized for unveiling a live caged tiger in its stadium for the first time in almost a decade before they were routed 42-13 by No. 11 Alabama in their SEC showdown.

    Ahead of “The First Saturday in November,” a live tiger named Omar Bradley, owned by Florida resident Mitchel Kalmanson, was brought out in an enclosed cage with a black curtain over it, before the stadium lights went dark and a spotlight flashed onto the cage as it was unveiled.

    kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad
    The tiger laid down and then paced around his cage, which was attached to a truck, while photographers crowded around it, still keeping their distance. After a few minutes, the cage was slowly driven off the field at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    LSU has a long tradition of bringing caged tigers into the stadium on gamedays but, since 2015, the school has moved away from this and instead keeps its current live tiger mascot named Mike VII in a 15,000-square-foot enclosure on campus.
    But Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry pushed for the return of this tradition, much to the frustration of the LSU community, which circulated several petitions against the practice which gathered more than 27,000 signatures between them by Sunday morning.

    Footage posted on social media also showed protesters outside the stadium holding placards with slogans including, “Justice for Omar” and “Did Tiger King teach us nothin’.”

    For Landry, having a live tiger on the field was all about “tradition,” he told FOX News on Friday.

    “This is about from Mike One through Six, we have had a live mascot on the field like many other colleges have before,” he said.

  34. Director Jon M. Chu missed ‘Wicked’ premiere to welcome fifth child
    [url=https://kra24.net]kra15[/url]

    “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu couldn’t attend the film’s premiere in Los Angeles, and the reason is quite “wonderful.”

    Chu shared on his Instagram Stories that he and his wife Kristin Hodge welcomed their fifth child on Saturday, writing that he “can’t believe this happened while the movie is premiering.”

    “Magic is in the air,” he wrote, sharing a photo of Hodge holding their newborn daughter.

    He added a note to his new addition: “Welcome to our world, you’re gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.”

    “Wicked” stars singer Ariana Grande and Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo star as witches Glinda and Elphaba, respectively. The two-part movie is a cinematic adaptation of the famed Broadway musical, which is a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” and tells an alternate version of events in Oz before Dorothy’s arrival.
    Chu may not have been able to physically attend the premiere but his presence was felt.

    According to footage from inside the theater posted online, a video of Chu speaking from the hospital was played before the movie began.

    “I’ve waited for three years to have this moment to share a movie with you but I’ve waited my whole life to have this moment, to have a fifth child right now,” he said in the video, as the audience was heard collectively “aww-ing” at the sentiment.

    With a laugh, Chu added that “of course, this little girl knows when to show up.”

    Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum round out the ensemble cast.

    Part one of “Wicked” will soar in theaters on November 22. The second film is expected in November 2025.
