The Heat Death is only one scenario. It would seem
possible
that Universe could go on perpetually if there were some
way to
re-create it. All matter/energy would have to be sucked
back in
and thrust out in another "Big bang". This "devouring" is
well
known to devotees of Kali. In early myths she is known to
devour
the demons who would upset the balance of space-time. Kali
is the
Goddess of time, Kala. In time all things die and are reborn. In
time all ignorance is replaced by divine Gnosis, if we
accomplish
nothing else in life we cannot help but learn. Experience
is the
great teacher. At the end of time there is no manifested
existence, just the Satchidananda of bliss-beingconsciousness.
Kali offers the bliss of Gnosis with one hand which holds

In 1933, Fritz Zwicky discovered that galaxies were
moving
much faster than they should according to the accepted
theories.
Speculating from the amount of matter found through the
luminosity present, he found that galaxies should be
breaking up.
The obvious conclusion is that there is more matter
present than
can be seen. This substance became known as Dark Matter.
Since
then numerous experiments have been devised to test this
theory.
Vera Rubin showed that galaxies rotate as fast at the
outer rim,
or faster, as they do in the inner. If they are less dense
at the
outer edges, as the luminosity indicates, then they should
move
slower. Jeremiah Ostriker and James Peebles showed that
without
extra matter, galaxies would develope gravitational
anomalies
that would cause them to collapse into other forms than
the
spiral we usually see. It seems likely that there is Dark
Matter
in Universe, and estimates now indicate that it could make
up as
much as 95% of all physical creation.
What is this Dark Matter? Nobody knows, but there are
many
theories. Sub-atomic particles, so small they don't
radiate
visible energy, Neutrinos, Magnetic Monopoles (one sided
magnets), and Gravitinos (bundles of gravity, in the same
sense
that Photons are bundles of light) are prime candidates.
So far
neither Magnetic Monopoles, nor Gravitinos have been
found.

What's In a Name
Wicca, Witchecraft, and "The Craft" are used
interchangeably at
times by many kinds of people. It is fair to say that all
Wiccans
are Witches, and many of us believe we are the only people
entitled to the name. It is important to know that many
people
call themselves witches who are not in the least Wiccan,
and that
Masons also refer to themselves as "Craft", with good
historical
precedent. Carefully question people on the particular
things
they do and believe as part of their religion rather than
relying
on labels. Any real Wiccan would welcome such honest
inquiry.
737
Based on the earlier mention of "True Will", you will
understand
that the Rede is far more complex than it sounds, and is
quite
different than saying "Do whatever you want as long as
nobody is
hurt". Finding out your Will is difficult sometimes, and
figuring
out what is harmful, rather than just painful or
unpleasant is
not much easier.
Initiation into Wicca
People become Wiccans only by Initiation, which is a
process of
contacting and forming a good relationship with the Gods
and
Goddesses of Wicca. Initiation is preceded by at least a
year and
a day of preparation and study, and must be performed by a
qualified Wiccan Priestess and Priest. The central event
of
Initiation is between you and your Gods, but the Priestess
is
necessary to make the Initiation a Wiccan one, to pass
some of
her power onto you as a new-made Priestess or Priest and
to
connect you to the Tradition you're joining.
Women hold the central place in Wicca. A Traditional Coven
is
Witch
The

Because we believe that everything a person does returns
to them
magnified, a Wiccan will not work a magick for harm, since
they
would pay too high a price. But a helpful magick is good
for both
the giver and receiver! Wicca is entirely compatible with
the
scientific method, and we believe all the Gods and forces
we work
with to be quite natural, not supernatural at all. We do
not,
however, hold with the kind of scientific dogma or
pseudoreligion
that sees everything as dead matter and neglects its
own method .v..by

TheGoddess has her darkside too. In thisportion of
a Sumerian prayer
to Inanna from Ur, circa 2300 BCE, she is the bringer
of death.
In the
following lines, "the Powers" refer to the powers and
duties assigned to
the various cosmic entities at the moment of creation:
"My Queen, You who are guardian
of all the great Powers,
You have lifted the Powers, have
tied them to your hands,
Have gathered the Powers, pressed
them to your breasts.
You have filled the land with
venom like a serpent.
Vegetation ceases when you thunder
like Ishkur.
You who bring down the flood from
the mountains,
Supreme One who are the Inanna of
Heaven and Earth."
In the Epic of Gilgamesh,it is the word of Ishtar
thatcauses Enlil to
bring the Deluge upon her Children, and in the same legend
she brings death
not only to her people but her lover too: "When the
glorious Ishtar raised
an eye at the beauty of Gilgamesh, she said, 'Come,
Gilgamesh, be thou my
lover! Do but grant me thy fruit. Thou shalt be my
husband, and I will be
thy wife.'" But the hero refuses her, listing the
fates of her other
lovers:
742
One common characteristicof the early imagesof
Ishtar is thebird-like
facial features. These features are also seen on
images of the Goddess
from the Thracian culture of what is today Bulgaria, the
Vinca culture of
the Central Balkans, and the Tisza culture of
northeastern Hungary, circa
6000-5000 BCE.
This bird Goddess of ancient eastern
Europe, and the
closely related Snake Goddess are frequently associated
with the baking of
sacred bread.
Miniature temples made in the form of
the Goddess contain
743
to me
When with him the lapis flute and
the carnelian ring come up to me,
When with him the wailing men and
the wailing women come up to me,
May the dead rise and smell the
incense!"
She was worshipped as a Goddess of Loveand Beauty, a
bringer of death
and the mother of all life:
"She is sought after among the
Gods, extraordinary is her station,
Respected is her word, it is
supreme over them.
Ishtar among the Gods,

Respected is her word, it is

For the kiss on the lips, they embrace, length-tolength, with their feet
touching each others. When she reaches the phallus, he
