Welcome

Controverscial.Com

Welcome to my website.  For ease of navigation, I have included the full "Site Contents" with links to all pages at the bottom of each page.  If you haven't been here before or are looking for something in particular, this would be a good place for you to start.  I hope you enjoy this site but if you have any questions or quires, please contact me at the address below.  By the way, I know some people do not like to listen to music while reading, and many find it intrusive to their concentration.  Beware then, for I have a "tongue-in-cheek" quirk for adding music to some pages.  The solution is easy however, if you don't like sound, turn off your speakers  :-)  Here's just some of the things you will find here:

Personal

These pages contain all my personal details and include:  A brief biography with "Ben" my dog, my past friend and companion.  Also my personal Photo Gallery (but this may take a little time to load, so enjoy the music). 

Wicca/Witchcraft/Paganism

These pages contain information about "Wicca", "Witchcraft" and Paganism.  Religion down through the ages has always caused controversy, no less so in this day and age.  It was my intention on these pages to write an exposé on the evils associated with Wicca/Witchcraft, Paganism, Satanism and the Black Arts, but like many misinformed people, I had a preconceived view of the subject.  I had expected to be writing about Ritual Sacrifices, Sexual Orgies and Evil Spells etc.  How wrong I was.  

I am now taking an active interest in "Wicca", "Witchcraft" and "Paganism", and while I don't necessarily consider myself a "Witch", I do practice some elements of the craft that I feel benefits my beliefs and personal circumstances.  Take a look and experience some true facts about witchcraft as I strive learn about it myself.

This was how I started some years ago.  Now due to the amount off comments being made in my Guest Book, I thought it about time I set up a place were visitors to this website can go and discuss, ask questions, share opinions, seek further information or share their own experiences in a convivial and friendly atmosphere.  Indeed it would also be a place were people can submit their own articles for inclusion in this website, though this will only be done with permission and with full credits remaining with the author.  By doing so, I would hope to make my website a truly interactive one and expand its knowledge base to include all aspects of Wicca/Witchcraft/Paganism and Magick.

Updates & Additions

29th January 2010

Greetings one and all, time for an up-date  :-)

Now the Winter snows are receding and the first buds of Spring begin to appear, here in the Northern Hemisphere we are preparing to celebrate Imbolc, one of the four Greater Sabbats of the witch’s annual calendar.  Imbolc is a cross-quarter fire festival that falls this year on the 02nd of February, in the Southern Hemisphere, Lammas is the equivalent Sabbat.  As days become longer and nights shorter, the main feature of this festival is the lighting of fires and candles in sympathy of the Sun’s growing strength.  To read more about Imbolc and its associated subjects, members of my email group "Email Witches" have once again submitted some wonderful articles for inclusion in our group newsletter "The Controversial Cauldron".  This is now published above.  Enjoy the read  :-) 

And Finally 

Many thanks for stopping by.  If you have enjoyed this site please say so by using the Guest Book or my personal email link at the bottom of this page.  Your comments are particularly welcome for without your help I couldn't hope to improve this site.  Please don't be shy, be bold and have your say, above all please be critical, even controversial, I promise not to take offence  :-)

All for now have a nice day.  

Best Wishes
