Part A #1 I would start out the story by mentioning how Abraham is a great person. I would start explaining the importance of doing the right thing. Abraham knew the consequences if he were to get caught, but he also knew what was right. If he were to get caught he would be severely punished, but that didn’t stop Abraham. He risked his life, and his daughter's life to protect these strangers. If Abraham would have gotten caught, his daughters could have been raped, and he possibly could have…

Poets of the twentieth century explored the implications of shifting uses of form that occurred over a period of one hundred years. Poems such as William Carlos Williams’ “The Red Wheelbarrow”, e.e. cummings’ “my sweet old etcetera”, Dereck Walcott’s “Parang”, bpNichol’s “Blues”, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti “Modern Poetry is Prose (But it is Saying Plenty)”, exemplify the multiple shifts that characterized the evolution of poetry throughout the 1900s.

Inspiration is just another idea emerged at the head of the artist, but it is a…

blessing of the god or goddess or a deity. It originated with Gerald Gardner’s “Five-Fold Kiss”, which he used as an Initiation Rite. The phrase “Blessed Be” is sacred and should be used with respect and in appropriate ways. It is meant as an actual invocation of the deity’s blessing so it is a much deeper blessing than a general blessing such as “be blessed” or something similar. To me the phrase “Blessed Be” is a special way to invoke a very focus and powerful personal blessing from the…

Based on the readings, it appears that Medea’s powers are based on being a priestess of Hecate; due to the amount of emphasis she places in the Goddess’ power and how often she is invoked in Medea’s rituals. While several references can be made to determine Medea as a priestess, Circe has no such established connections. In fact, it appears that most of Circe’s power is her own and is a witch that shares a similarity with Hecate that can be explained by a familiar bond. Circe and Hecate share…

abandoned, but Wicca retained the Watchtowers as "the four cardinal points, regarded as guardians of the Magic Circle". They are usually mentioned during the casting of the circle. In a conservative tradition such as Gardnerian or Alexandrian Wicca the invocation of the Watchtowers begins in the east. In Modern Wicca the Watchtowers are symbolic structures, assotiated with the four directions, which are called upon to guard over a circle during a ritual, and are dismissed when the ceremony is…
