Nature and "God"

In studying hoodoo as I am, sometimes there is some debate about whether conjure is actually a slap in the face of religion.   Some say that certain bible verses support the use of nature to "pray" or "conjure".  Some say that certain bible verses condemn it. 


What is your take on magicko religion?  Or using natural magic (herbs, minerals, etc) in rituals of religion.


I think that "God" gave us all the resources in the world that he did for a reason.  And since he also gave us free will, using those resources shouldn't be considered to be against religion, should it?  We use drugs derived from herbs for medicines.  What difference does it make to use herbs for spells and prayers related to the saints (as in hoodoo). 


Any thoughts?

Was that the entire article? I'm not willing to pay a $25 subscription fee just to read it, but I'd love to read the rest if there's more. I tend to agree with Bink though... sounds like a stretch. These sorts of things can be so easily manipulated.

As we promised in the current newsletter (July 9, 2005), we have posted an indepth article on the London bomb blasts. This article is entitled:

"LONDON TERROR ATTACKS CARRIES STRONGEST 'OCCULT SIGNATURE' IMAGINABLE -- FROM NUMERICS TO LOCATIONS STRUCK - FELLOW OCCULTISTS WILL KNOW THAT THE 'PLAN OF THE BROTHERHOOD' IS ON TRACK

The subtitle: "Date of July 7, 2005, forms a "777", THE most powerful number to the following powerful occult groups: Black Magick system of Witchcraft developed by Aleister Crowley; and to the Kabbalah; and to the Illuminati. Areas in which bombs went off also are well known as the Black Magick areas of London. This terrorist attack carries a much stronger "occult signature" than did the attacks of 9/11."

You will be very surprised to learn of the detailed symbolism under girding these attacks, and to learn of the surprising Secret Society bearing "777" in their title! There was much, much more behind these attacks than was first apparent.

Don't know what news you are now getting there about this latest act of terrorism but at the moment it is looking like there were meant to be 4 bombs all going off on the underground and were supposed to be one in the north, one south, one east and one west. My guess is the symbolism of this was that all areas were covered and therefore no one is safe no matter where you are. The northern line however was closed that day and so the bomber on that line instead took the bus and it looks like the reason that was detonated an hour later than the other three was *by accident* as reports suggest the bomber was fiddling with his bag when the bomb went off and so managed to blow himself up at the same time.

The general consensus of opinion here in the UK is that it was really just a matter of time before we experienced something of this nature. Unfortunately terrorism isn't a new thing here and I am old enough to remember the terrorism campaign we experienced through the 70s and 80s with IRA bombers.

Several people have today been arrested so it remains to be seen whether any further information will emerge as to the *reason* behind this terrible act.

My heart just aches reading about this. As much as I hate to say it, my guess is the 'reason' is that the UK has been so supportive of the US since 9/11 so now you guys are being 'punished' for it. :-(
