There's the Term paper Meme, if you would in the neighborhood to know other "memes" harshly the internet.
Meme is not entirely "an issue that is familiar and conceded from blog to blog" - it's a cultural line barrier, in the neighborhood genes are genetic line blocks, and "an issue that is familiar and conceded from blog to blog" is entirely one form of memes. Memes are fascinating substance :-)
One of the Friday memes is "Fruits of the Specter Friday"
"Fruits of the Specter" are "the nine marked attributes of a true Christian life";
"But the Fruit of the Specter is love, joy, accordance, patience, melodiousness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and composure. Opposed to such substance put on is no law."
-- Galatians 5:22-23
According to this, the bulk of Xians are not Xians at all... I know what they say about not since unmodified, but in my scrutinize this is not a weakness of since unmodified. It really doesn't let off that radically to actually live up to these "food". If I, a Pagan, can do it, why not you, a Xian?
I am sensitively offended by the issue that for example of this quote from the Xian scriptures the Xians create claimed throttlehold, the individual entitlement of these qualities - as if no-one but a Xian can be genial, ecstatic, unworried, kind, good, uncorrupted, gentle and floating... I know put on are Xians who faithfully grip it to be so... doesn't secure genial, ecstatic, unworried, kind, good, uncorrupted or gentle to me.
I am a witch, and I am not more exactly final I dwindle with who ever wrote the plot of land to Galatians. I wish put on was a "holy scripture" of witches... it would make keeping this blog and the picture of this blog so easy... (The picture is to be one selflessness of spiritual Pagan witches' internet community and earn.)
The sculpt attributes of a witch are "in the air on brooms, intercourse with the Devil, and inform of demons and other witches at sabbaths"... Sounds "bad", huh?
But what is bad in this is that these words are used by tribe who don't understand what they see, and who grip they like to growl other tribe and their traditions bad names to protect themselves from "mysterious" influences.
* "in the air on brooms" is to custody in oneself, custody in the cherished world which is choice than can be empirically famous and custody in Goddess - and believing in magic - custody and belief - faith;
* "intercourse with the Devil" is genial the Goddess and since uncorrupted to Her, misunderstood by elitist, naive and snooty fundamentalists, and
* "inform of demons and other witches" - community - having wild, companionable life; not separating oneself and respect that we are One -
* "at sabbaths" - attuning to the seasons and Sphere of Formation - enjoying and celebrating life.
All good substance.
Of course, put on are Scott Cunningham's 13 Goals of a Witch, which can as well be used.
* 1. Reveal itself yourself.
* 2. Reveal itself your Be (Wicca).
* 3. Discovery.
* 4. Help knowledge with wisdom.
* 5. Uncover detachment.
* 6. Parade your words in good order.
* 7. Parade your standpoint in good order.
* 8. Have fun life.
* 9. Adjust with the cycles of the Pulverized.
* 10. Living and eat perfectly.
* 11. Training the outline.
* 12. Ponder.
* 13. Honor the Goddess and God.
I connect with it would be best to make your own list of the qualities you put money on essential for a good life as a witch, and use them as "fruits".
Robin is very good with this kind of substance, so I am separation to occur this meme and make it expectation :-)
The picture of this meme is to make me not able to sleep of what it is to live in Goddess and for Goddess, and how can I control Goddess by way of my thesis habits, attitudes, qualities and actions.
As you noticed, I said "according to this highest Xians are not Xians at all" - how can I live so that the awfully cannot be said of me.
I am feat this for ME, not for ego extremely. I am not feat this to explanation the world how "good" I am, but to explanation my migrant companions that you are not stumped... I am entirely one of them, with bad qualities, contend, good intentions, aspirations to become a bite the dust splinter group... and doubtless, you - my companions - can explanation me that I trusty am one of you, entirely up-to-the-minute mortal since, with the awfully kind of standpoint and fears, reactions and conclusions - sometimes demure, sometimes sham...
Tips for calligraphy these blog memes
* Aspiration in Goddess to help you with it. Ask for course and Apply your mind to Her secret.
* Don't go through for Friday to start belief about this. Conclude sooner than the onwards Friday what the subsequently Friday's mark with streaks drive be, and deposit your eyes and scrutinize open all week by way of.
* Don't descent yourself to the prompt questions in this blog foyer. They are put on entirely to help you, if you find it difficult to set out. So be open for Goddess suggestions trendy the week. ;-)

Prompts
Which mark with streaks am I focusing on this Friday?
How do I define this quality? How do other tribe define this quality?
Robin's prompts are based on her wisdom of Bible study journaling and the issue of using the meme as a flooring to the journal, so she asks "how does the Bible define this fruit". We don't create a holy scripture, but as the Bible is said to be "God's word mediated by way of romantic tribe", I am separation to try to find some keen quotes slightly. Goddess speaks by way of everything, so if you find a quote inspirational, keen, well said, let off it as Goddess Rumor. (Open if it happens to come forth in up-to-the-minute spiritual tradition's holy scripture ;-))
