For instance, the mixture of asphodel and wormwood - these substances are actually used in the production of hallucinogens etc. that are used in occult practice.

How would i go about obtaining the needed Unicorns Horn for some of the "Spells?"

with this difference, a good hint is that reality is whatever still exists when you stop believing in it. When I was a kid I read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and it did not make me a submarine captain;

Somehow I think there is much more to your not become a submarine captain than just that. Being a submarine captain takes brains, discipline and courage. From your feeble attempt to attach the anthrax attacks to the right wing on your other post, I would say you are lacking in those categories.

This small minority of kooks

Hmm....more labels for those who don't conform. Those who don't follow the official Potter line seem to endure a lot of this behavior from the Potterphiles. I rather doubt this is healthy for our kids.

IMHO, anything that makes a child pick up a book (not comics, Pokemon, et. al.) and read with as much enthusiasm as Harry Potter incites, well it should be celebrated, not lambasted

Why?

The results of the recruitment won't be known until sometime in the future. One must learn to cast spells, I'm told. Isn't that what Potter is learning in his "fictional" classroom? Wiccans won't allow children to practice the craft until they are about 18 because it is to dangerous.

I hope they make his birthday a national holiday.

If they did, would they move the date to a secular holiday, a pagan holiday, or a religous holiday?
After all Christmass was set as near to the Winter Solstice/Yule as it could be for a reason, would the Potter holiday do something similar?

Oh Wait! did I just mention the fact that Christmass was made up to cover up a pagan holiday? Oh no... I must be a heritic! What of the christmass tree's? (Pagan, told not to do that in the Bible!)
Thank God the Inquistion and Reformations are over done for, even knowing about that could have gotten me killed.

Somebody show me a child who has contacted a real live demon using a Potter book, or any other book for that matter.

What would constitute proof for you? A signed affidavit?

Hey, no ad hominem! My biggest difficulty in becoming a submarine captain, of course, was claustrophobia and a tendency to sleep with the windows open. And if you had read my previous post carefully you would notice I am not suggesting the comnnection between domestic terrorists and anthrax; the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is. Also the Manchester Guardian and London Times, but I have not posted these articles. You think I have the time to do my own investigative reporting? And anyways, you miss the point--there is the real world that we inhabit and many imaginary worlds which exist only in words printed on wood pulp and computer screens. Most rational people understand the difference.

Thanks for the heads-up! I was thinking of posting this, and will add it to this thread, so it is all in one place!

The following was a letter that was sent to me by a friend. I cannot express it any better than it is written here. Please read this:

I am writing this urgent message because I was once a witch. I lived by the stars as an astrologer and numerologist casting horoscopes and spells. I lived in the mysterious and shadowy realm of the occult. By means of spells and magic, I was able to invoke the powers of the "controlling unknown" and fly upon the night winds transcending the astral plane. Halloween was my favorite time of the year and I was intrigued and absorbed in the realm of Wiccan witchcraft. All of this was happening in the decade of the 1960's when witchcraft was just starting to come out of the broom closet.

It was during that decade of the 1960's, in the year 1966, that a woman named J.K. Rowling was born. This is the woman who has captivated the world in this year of 2000 with four books known as the "Harry Potter Series." These books are orientational and instructional manuals of witchcraft woven into the format of entertainment. These four books by J.K. Rowling teach witchcraft! I know this because I was once very much a part of that world. Witchcraft was very different in the 1960's. There were a lot fewer witches, and the craft was far more secretive. At the end of that spiritually troubled decade, I was miraculously saved by the power of Jesus Christ and His saving blood. I was also delivered from every evil spirit that lived in me and was set free. However, as I began to attend fundamental Christian churches, I realized that even there witchcraft had left its mark. Pagan holidays and sabats were celebrated as "Christian holidays."

As time went on, I watched the so-called "Christian" churches compromising and unifying. I also watched with amazement as teachings from Eastern religions and "New Age" doctrine began to captivate congregations. It was a satanic set-up, and I saw it coming. Illuministic conspirators were bringing forth a one-world religion with a cleverly concealed element of occultism interwoven in its teachings. In order to succeed in bringing witchcraft to the world and thus complete satanic control, an entire generation would have to be induced and taught to think like witches, talk like witches, dress like witches, and act like witches. The occult songs of the 1960'ss launched the Luciferian project of capturing the minds of an entire generation. In the song "Sound Of Silence" by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, we were told of seeds that were left while an entire generation was sleeping, and that the "vision that was planted in my brain still remains." Now it is the year 2000. All of the foundations for occultism and witchcraft are in place. The Illuminists have to move quickly, because time is running out.

It was the Communist revolutionary Lenin who said, "Give me one generation of youth, and I will transform the entire world." Now an entire generation of youth has been given to a woman named J.K. Rowling and her four books on witchcraft, known as the Harry Potter Series. As a former witch, I can speak with authority when I say that I have examined the works of Rowling and that the Harry Potter books are training manuals for the occult. Untold millions of young people are being taught to think, speak, dress and act like witches by filling their heads with the contents of these books. Children are obsessed with the Harry Potter books that they have left television and video games to read these witchcraft manuals.

The first book of the series, entitled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," finds the orphan, Harry Potter, embarking into a new realm when he is taken to "Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." At this occult school, Harry Potter learns how to obtain and use witchcraft equipment. Harry also learns a new vocabulary, including words such as "Azkaban," "Circe," "Draco," "Erised," "Hermes," and "Slytherin"; all of which are names of real devils or demons. These are not characters of fiction!

How serious is this? By reading these materials, many millions of young people are learning how to work with demon spirits. They are getting to know them by name. Vast numbers of children professing to be Christians are also filling their hearts and minds, while willingly ignorant parents look the other way.

The titles of the books should be warning enough to make us realize how satanic and anti-christ these books are. The afore mentioned title of the first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," was a real give away. The second book was called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," while the third book was entitled "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." Sadly enough, this blatant witchcraft has been endorsed by well-known and respected "Christian" leaders. Nothing could be more obvious than that Harry Potter books are pure witchcraft and of the devil. The "Christian" leaders, however, defend them by saying that good magic always wins and overcomes evil magic. This is the oldest con game ever hatched out of hell. As a real witch, I learned about the two sides of "the force." Apparently, so do many "Christian" leaders. When real witches have sabats and esbats and meet as a coven, they greet each other by saying "Blessed be," and when they part, they say "The Force be with you." Both sides of this "Force" are Satan. It is not a good side of the force that overcomes the bad side of the force, but rather it's the blood of Jesus Christ that destroys both supposed sides of the satanic "Force."

High level witches believe that there are seven satanic princes and that the seventh, which is assigned to Christians, has no name. In coven meetings, he is called "the nameless one." In the Harry Potter books, there is a character called "Voldemort." The pronunciation guide says of this being "He who must not be named."

On July 8 at midnight, bookstores everywhere were stormed by millions of children to obtain the latest and fourth book of the series known as "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." These books were taken into homes everywhere with a real evil spirit following each copy to curse those homes. July 8th was also the 18th day (three sixes in numerology) from the witches' sabat of midsummer. July 8th was also the 13th day from the signing of the United Religions Charter in San Francisco. Now we have learned that the public school system is planning to use the magic of Harry Potter in the classrooms making the public schools centers of witchcraft training.

What does God have to say about such books as the Harry Potter series? In the Bible in the book of Acts, we read the following in the 19th chapter, verses 18- 20: "And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed."

As parents, we will answer to God if we allow our children to read witchcraft books. The Word of God will prevail mightily in your life only if such things of Satan are destroyed. This tract has been prayed over, and I hope it has helped you. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us.

Pastor D. J. Meyer

*********

I would like to add that the above jives with my experience, what I know about the occult and witches, as well. I have heard a pastor from the Wiccan church speak about how they try to lure our youth into their grasp. This is very serious business.

If you can understand why the government might warn people about pyramid schemes

Huh, I always thought that was because the government didn't want any competition for Social Security.

Hey, no ad hominem!

Oh, that is a hoot. YOU, TELLING ME, TO NOT MAKE AN AD HOMINEM ATTACK - when you tried to slime the right with your previous post. Typical lib - you can dish it out but you whine like a baby when you get it back.

My biggest difficulty in becoming a submarine captain, of course, was claustrophobia and a tendency to sleep with the windows open. And if you had read my previous post carefully you would notice I am not suggesting the comnnection between domestic terrorists and anthrax; the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is. Also the Manchester Guardian and London Times, but I have not posted these articles. You think I have the time to do my own investigative reporting?

My, how quickly you forget what you posted. YOU CHANGED THE HEADLINE - from anthrax threat to saying the activist claimed credit for anthrax - a truly reprehensible post. And then you added your own little screed at the end. You're a pathetic liar.

And anyways, you miss the point--there is the real world that we inhabit and many imaginary worlds which exist only in words printed on wood pulp and computer screens. Most rational people understand the difference.

Yeah, so I guess Mein Kampf must not have been that big a deal by your definition...

Witches are real. I can see one now. She's riding a broom out by the capitol, not figuratively mind you, but actually flying, on a broom, sans any obvious means of propulsion, in violation of everything we knew about physics, fluid dynamics, lifting bodies, drag coefficients...

Oops, there she goes. I can't proooove she was there, but I saw the Witches of Eastwick on VHS, so they clearly exist.

Do you think that this might tend to flavor the books?

My favorite is the author of a book on spells named "Vlabatsky" in the book. An obvious anagram of H. P. Blavatsky

When I was a kid? I played D&D for fun. when adults play it? thats just sad.

How do you think D&D came into existence? Adults were wargaming ancient battles using miniature figure armies and some of them modified the rules to wargame fantasy battles. Eventually, out of this experimentation comes successive versions of D&D, initially aimed at 13 to adult and later attempts are made to market to children.

Way back in the early 1980s D&D games could have people ranging from junior high to some with gray in their hair with advanced degrees. Too bad it seems to be just a kids thing now.
