BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Wicca research

Welcome to the board <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am glad you are getting some useful information!

Ok know i have a question about LDS is the Heavenly Mother you are talking about Mary mother of Chirst or the Holy Spirit or some one-thing different?

ps welcome to the forum!!!

LDS believe that we not only have a spiritual father (God the Father, Heavenly Father) but we also have a spiritual mother (Heavenly Mother). No one knows who this is for sure, but it is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead and is neither male nor female. There is no name given for Heavenly Mother, it is possible for it to be Mary, but is not neccessarily her. We won't know until we reach the afterlife and meet her.

So to be clear you believe in the Trinaty (FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT) plus a GODDRESS Heavenly Mother that may or may not be Mary. so would the Heavenly Mother be = to the Trinaty?
Where is this found in the Bible (Book of Mormon?)?

Sorry we got off topic Fiona!!!

You know, freebubbles, you can also send a private message to someone when you have further questions that take a discussion off-topic. Well, that is if that person has that feature enabled....

No worries... I am interested in the answer to that last question too. I know that in the Gnostic Tradition they consider Sophia (Wisdom) as the Holy Mother. Wisdom is generally considered the area of the Holy Spirit so in that respect Sophia/the Holy Spirit is female.

I am curious how the LDS Holy Mother fits in.


But beyone the topic of Holy Mother as Goddess, Rae is correct in recommending that you have any other questions answered in private message.

Thanks!

OK no problem!!!

As a nurse I have to say; GIVE BLOOD!!!!!! As a pagan I have to say, the giving of blood and the ritual of letting blood for spiritual reasons/practices should never be confused and are totally different as both are being given with different intent.

Try reading some of the lost books of the bible. Such as the Book of Wisdom. You can find several online sites that have them up to read for free.

I've just joined up and would really like to have some answers to my queries. After many years of spiritual "soul searching" I have finally realised in my heart that the Wicca religion is for me. I am Scottish and I feel that so many things in the Wicca world take me back to my ancient roots. I must also say that so many of the things I have strongly believed in over the last years have been part of Wicca teachings. I still have some doubts of course and sometimes I would like someone to explain certain things to me.For example...how do you explain the life of Jesus and his teachings? Do you believe in him as a teacher and man? Of course please believe me that I am not talking about the Bible teachings because I know they are simply the stories chosen by a man of the church to encourage people to follow the christian religion. I'm interested in your ideas on this subject and who you believe Jesus was.
