I was interested to read your comments. I especially was interested in the “past life experience” idea.

I was once told at a Tarot demonstration that If you believe something strongly enough, then it has to be true, that is, at least to you anyway.

My Past life, to many, would possibly sound mumbo jumbo, which is fair enough. However, my past life has enabled me to do many things that I may not have been able to do had I not had it at my disposal.

You mention “Magic”. Ah, that is a word that covers a lot of things, but I do think that it is somehow valid.

The Magic in witchcraft has a K on the end, as in Magick, to separate it from the Paul Daniels rabbit out of hat kind of stuff. As for it covering a lot of things, it can cover whatever you want it to cover. This could be things like household chores in the mundane life or more on topic, discipline & corporal punishment

Corporal punishment seems to be an element that is in almost every culture, and might well be something that comes with all the other subconscious instructions that are promulgated through the DNA.

I wonder why it has become so feared and repressed in our culture?

Possibly because of the guilt associated with it. The guilt that maybe a lot of people have been through who enjoy it has been humongous. I always say that there are lots of worse things that appear to be acceptable in society such as alcoholism, drug taking, mindless violence, abuse in all kinds of damaging forms than me wanting to have my bottom smacked.

I do think that the female is naturally the dominant sex, but the Abrahamic religions have tried to suppress the female in detestable ways over the centuries.

I also believe females are the dominant sex who have been suppressed by the Abrahamic religions as well as the Male Macho Crap that for a part, I was brought up around and totally rebelled against

That word “magic” might cover forces of which we are hardly aware.

I feel that sometimes the unknown is alot more attractive that stuff we know about
