Hi! I'm a newbie and here's some info about me:
My life’s journey could fill a book (2 in fact!), and on this journey I was blessed to be awakened to my spirituality and female empowerment by a White Wiccan. At first I resisted, wanting nothing to do with religion, but she persisted as Wicca is a personalized faith, not borne out of any organized religion. Though she possessed great psychic ability she didn’t rely on it to express her belief that women’s exercise of their personal power would be the thing to bring peace and restore our necessary balance with Mother Nature. She simply had faith that it would happen. And it is happening.

In addition to the benefit of spirituality and female empowerment, under Wicca, the practice of herbal healing is known as the “Craft of the Wise,” hence my “in2herbs” identification. In medieval times men in the male-dominated Christian religion were threatened by the power of women who practiced the Craft of the Wise. As a result herbal practitioners were punished, often to death. So when someone dismisses the herbal healing power that Mother Nature provides I take it personal because they are also dismissing the power of women.

I don’t want to bash anybody on this site, but I have found that those opposed to alternative therapies claim that any healing that results is due to the patient’s faith and hope that the therapy will work. Bunk. Alternative treatments don’t always work, but pharmaceutical treatments don’t always work either despite one’s faith in the science of pharmaceuticals and their hope that the take-a-pill-to-heal therapy will work for them.

Here’s some other stuff about me: DU is my go to site for info and the only discussion forum I belong to, my TV is connected to an antenna so my Maddow/O’Donnell/Hayes/Joy fix is on a 24-hour delay, I don’t talk to republicans, I’m not on social media but am grateful to those who are using it as a voice of truth, my cell phone is a flip phone and not connected to the internet, and my phone contract is for 250 minutes per month which is just fine with me because I prefer spending time with my dogs, horses, and the wildlife just outside my door as this is the environment where I am constantly reminded of the truth, balance and harmony we must have with Mother Nature if there is ever to be peace.

Lastly, I like to read, but I only read non-fiction. Though it was published several years ago I recommend the book: “The G.O.D. Experiment: How Science is Discovering G.O.D. in Everything Including Us” by Gary E. Schwartz as it puts credible scientific research behind the science of the spirit.

Does anyone have any reading recommendations to share?

"Craft of the Wise".  LOL.  Stepped right in it with that one.

Romans 1:21-23 --

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

DUmmy in2herbs can and should take over the mental health care of the rest of the DOpes and thus save us redneck taxpayers a ton of money. We could then use that savings to purchase more firearms and ammo for our personal enjoyment.

[SVPete]

She should fit well in DU.

She might be too sane for the DUMmies

Soylent Green. All natural with no preservatives and free.

DUmmies will accept anyone who isn't a Christian.

Another demented freak to join the legions of them at the DUmp.
How much you want to bet that she's been among those who've tried casting spells against Trump during every solstice? And, how much you want to bet that the day before she does this, her neighbors' pets tend to mysteriously disappear and never be seen again?

H5!
This verse describes Wicca to a T!

[BIGSTARXXX]

she's probably one of those who tries to scream from her vagina

[Old n Grumpy]

under Wicca, the practice of herbal healing is known as the “Craft of the Wise,”

  Most call it getting stoned 

[Old n Grumpy]

I think the only thing coming out of her vagina is a bad smell.

[SVPete]

... under Wicca, the practice of herbal healing is known as the “Craft of the Wise,” ...

"Get your house in order," would be more accurate.

[Skul]

OMG    for that visual.

Has an odor reminiscent of a shithouse door on a tuna boat. 

[DumbAss Tanker]

I have known several Wiccans over the years, they're generally very nice caring folks with heads full of stupid shit, especially when it comes to politics.  Their religious ideas aren't really any stupider than anyone else's, and a whole lot nicer than Islam.

Let's see how well that will go.

One of the trainees in my current Combat Medic course is Wiccan.  I have no issues with it, as long as they don't try to treat a combat wound with sage and healing vibes.

I am a sand witch. I have power over bologna .

> I was blessed to be awakened to my spirituality and female empowerment by a White Wiccan

Was that "woke" up the wazoo or the "uncut islam clit" erroneous zone?  Zone matters.

[SVPete]

"White Wiccan" refers to the person's supposedly benign intent, not their skin color.

[DUmpsterDiver]

Can you make a sandwitch?  Or an edible Brownie?
