Why Do So Many Relationships End In Breakups?

I had let all that hot air carry me off and I forgot that everything I had – EVERYTHING – was God-given. Then one day, God stuck a pin in my hot air balloon and I suddenly began crashing down to earth – to reality.

We’ve all experienced betrayal during our lives. I suggest that we each choose to live with integrity, honesty, humility, forgiveness, loving-kindness and grace. For as we think, so we create. As we treat others in this way, we will attract to us the same.

One aspect of my spiritual growth occurred in an unlikely place. Not everyone has a dramatic or traumatic event, but many of us experience a negative occurrence that forces us to reevaluate our lives and recommit to a spiritual path. Mine was a conviction and night in jail.

Let me state here that all of our adult pain comes from some form of childhood pain that grew in adolescence and has now become a part of our emotional being as adults. Events and experiences from childhood caused us to respond in certain ways that in turn caused us to believe certain things to be true.

The most common usage is associated with any religion that is non-Abrahamic. Neither Christian, Muslim or Jew. That would make roughly 45% of the world’s population Pagans. Needless to say those 45% are not likely to class themselves as Pagans although some would.

Physically many things are happening in the bodies of teenagers, but it is true emotionally as well. What things they saw and experienced as children are now being interpreted through peer pressure, hormones, dating, high school, sports and the media. Girls who were never touched the right way as a child might be willing to be touched the wrong way as a teen. Boys who witnessed abuse by their fathers may feel they have permission to act that way themselves. Extreme crushes and breakups for a teen may simply just be looking for someone to love them for who they are.

In ancient times and up until the Middle Ages practitioners of the magic arts were almost all illiterate as was the majority of the population. You can’t really make a book of spells if you can’t write. When the world, and Europe in particular, began to learn to put pen to paper this still did not result in witches suddenly deciding to make books to hand down to their descendants.

Let me start off with a simple yet pertinent question. How many of you have sat through a church service, listened to the pastor remind you to hold on to what God promised you or tell you that it is your season to fulfill your purpose? You probably hooped, hollered and cried out Amen afterwards, right? But I wonder what percentage of you secretly felt like that message was not meant for you.

Are you holding onto the things of this world too tightly? It may be “things” or people, or achievements. We can learn a lot from Lot’s wife in the Bible. She turned into a pillar of salt all because she looked back at the city she use to live in while it was being destroyed by God…

One of the biggest misconceptions is that God speaks from a source that is beyond us. God is beyond us in one respect, but more importantly is within us and is all around us.

Basically it is a belief system much the same as any religion. Traditional witchcraft has become very secretive over the centuries after being widely persecuted in the Middle Ages. Most Traditional witchcraft practiced today is of British origin.

One of the most important needs in all of our lives is to be forgiven and to know that we are forgiven. We hear people express it various ways. If I could be forgiven and given a fresh start so that I could make a new beginning! If only I could rid of this guilt which I sense within me! New Year resolutions, or turning over a new leaf, do not work. Man has attempted to do that today and is now reaping disastrous consequences in so many areas of life. We only have to mention marriage, family life, morality, ethics, finance, greed and debt. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
