Communion Wafers!

I've dabbled in Wiccan myself, I say dabbled because I don't feel "Wiccan" and I don't know a whole lot. I understand the Basics, I've atteneded a few Coven rituals, and tried a few rituals on my own, but I think i'm missing that "a ha!" moment that makes me feel like this is what I'm looking for. I actually feel alot like you, being raised Christian has ingrained so much into me, I can't just shut it off. I love the concepts, spirtiualty, freedom and the individuality of wicca, but still cling to the basics of christianity.

The first coven ritual I was involved with, we drank mead and ate banna nut muffins! (this was before I was dx'd). It was amazing!

Dear SunnyDyRain,

I have been practicing Wicca for four and a half years now. I invoke God and The Virgin Mary as the God and Goddess. Did you know there was Christian folk magic at one time? It ended due to the massive murders during the Burning Times. It was funny how I got into Wicca. I received a Pyramid Collection catalog. I saw the Witchcraft stuff in it, including the Witches' hippocratic oath of "Harm None." I was always taught Witches were evil, sold their soul to the devil, etc. I had to learn more! So, I began reading books, and I thought this was a good thing for me. I was unsure, though. I asked God, "If this is what you want me to do, send me a sign!" Sure, enough, he sent three! You cannot mistake a sign from Him. He is very clear. Other people say this is rediculous, but God seems to want me to do this. I believe he has a special path for us all. My father is more supportive than my mother. My mother is afraid for me to do rituals because she has this absurd notion that demons will start popping up out of nowhere! :lol: I told her, your intentions being good will never attract or summon one. It appears she is the one who does not have much faith. If she did, she would believe God would protect her from that. The feeling I got when I consecrated my tools was amazing! There was this beautiful peacefulness and energy that I never felt before. I think the only other time I felt that was when I was saved at a Carmen concert. I am a solitary practitioner, because I do not know of any others who have my beliefs with Christianity and Wicca combined around here.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

This is getting a little bit off topic as it is about "Communion Wafers".

A new thread would be appropriate on the "Gab/Chat Forum", with no offense to anyone or any discussion, but it is veering away from the originality of the thread.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
