Sweet Jesus. The angel Samuel/Samael is ancient. You hearing the name doesn't mean all that much.
Why is everyone reading so much into 2013? I absolutely fail to understand the hype.
If you don't want to live in the "shadows," don't. But spouting pride in one's faith is just as bad as all of the oppression others might inflict. Better to just do your own thing, speak up when it is necessary, and do the right thing. Spouting religion is obnoxious.

Once again i enjoy the feed back i really don't want what im trying to say be another forum about witches waging war, and angels coming down...Its mainly about us getting involved in our communities. Some of us may not want to be apart of this, that's fine, but were not talking about you, were talking about all of us trying to make a change.
Maybe the reason for the "hype" is that with all the problems the world is facing, all the hate, bloodshed, poverty, and greed, people are desperate for a change, for leaders with a new way of looking at things, and people who can look at each other as equals. And with the 12-21-12 predictions, people had an outlet to believe that there could be that change.
A few hours ago I found out that Samael, the Archangel of death, is my guardian angel.
Now in every religion man has ever worshiped there is always some type of end of days myth. I am not say it will be soon I am simply suggesting we as a Community , must separate our differences and work together to further protect our planet.
This does not by no means telling anyone to come out of the "broom closet". I am just saying to be friendly and work together to better our world.
I find the fact that you're stressing a coming together of our own community, and the participation of those who call themselves witches getting involved with their societal community a bit odd. The last time I checked, people who practice pagan religions didn't just hide in caves all their lives. They are involved in their community, but as people- not as witches. Which is how I feel it should be. If we parade under the banner of "Witch" it will only create a defined line of separation, one that already exists, but is very fuzzy at the moment. Yes, people should aid the environment, the community, etc. But it should be as people, not as zealots, because no matter the religion, you still drink the same water as the church across the street or those naked folk out in the woods.
Of course it's always ideal to shine a good light on the community that you're part of (excluding psycopathic communities, of course) but you should do it in a way that is one mind at a time.
I believe the world is changing, yes, but change is the nature of existence. It has always and will continue to be in a state of change.

My goodness people, i am not saying walk around yelling witch and once again not talking about the angel business. If Witches ACTUALLY did there duties i wouldn't have posted this, most of the witches i know sit online all day and argue about non-sense. I am saying US as people who use the natural energy of this earth could help by showing our communities a better change. Not once did i even mention telling them who we are, but we know who we are that's all that matters.
You mentioned, that people are changing and you feel it on the wind. I know how you feel i have felt it since 09. This does feel like an important year. And an event that is subtle and seems near. I wrote some stuff a few years ago, only to find it becoming more obvious. It does seem like an event is coming, two to one odds we will see it on the news.

Ok seriously this wasn't bad and I was even going to stay out of it until that last post Darkbarron. Not to gang up on you or anything but you seem to be judging everyone as if we are the same as those witches you know who stay online all the time. It is kind of insulting, hence the reason I chimed in. I do do these things in my community and even though they may not know I am a witch they do know me and I have found others like me by doing so. I just felt a bit insulted at the thought that you seem to be comparing everyone else to the one you know as if that is what we all do. Anyways, on another note, I do not believe we need to tell others, Why, I know who and what I am and I find it annoying when Jehovah's witnesses come to my door pushing there religion on me, I also know my neighbors and friend feel the same way, so why would I do that with mine. People still buy into the hype of it is all evil and we worship satan still, why would I provoke that and or do that to my children. Here they will still investigate your home if the child services person believes that hype, people have had their children taken because they did not believe it was a proper environment for a child. Granted it has been a while since I have heard anything recent about it, but right no bible thumpers still rule in that scene. (and just so everyone knows, I am not being cruel with that title "Bible Thumpers", my mother is one. It just means they are so far into it that reality has gone and they will not listen to reason of any kind. With my mother I am still in the closet so to speak.)
But that is just my opinion.
