Paganism

No. His mother was Jewish and I think his father left them when Adolf was very young. So from what I have gathered he was raised Jewish.

Really? I've always thought she was soo beautiful... I miss seeing her on tv all the time...

Dictionaries define "Judaism" as The monotheistic religion of the Jews, since the founding principle of Judaism was the unique belief in One ethical God. This was the teaching which was spread by Abraham, and has continued since then. From Judaism, belief in One God has spread through the Western world. It was unlike idolatry, which had tended to go hand in hand with cruel, licentious and excessive behavior, since the caprices which were narrated concerning the idols were adopted as an excuse to imitate those types of behavior.
Quote:
"I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation ... fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations" (John Adams, 2nd President of the United States).
"Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights, but we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality before the law, both Divine and human; of the sanctity of life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and of collective conscience, and social responsibility" (Paul Johnson, Christian historian, author of A History of the Jews and A History of Christianity).

Haven't figured out what you mean by "hadis terminology," but Samhain is a Celtic word meaning "end of summer."

Joseph McCarthy did not hunt witches, he sought out and persecuted anyone who had communistic values or tendencies, he would oversee hearings and blackballed so many people that this kind of persecution is known as "McCarthyism"

Well, you can't really decide if you want to be a witch or wizard. Hermione Granger, for example, she is muggle-born so she didn't decide to go to Hogwarts. Harry was sent a letter saying to go to Hogwarts. I think they have to choose you.

Magic spelled this way is show magic. Magick spelled this way is real magick or religious magick.

The end of summer ritual is known as Autumnal Equinox or Mabon. It also goes by these names: Foghar, Alban Elfed, Harvest Home, 2nd Harvest, Fruit Harvest and Wine Harvest.

However, if you are looking for the name of the Halloween Holiday it is called Samhain. It is celebrated between Oct. 30-Nov. 2nd.

Not especially... but back in the dark days of witch hunting paranoia any bodily mark on someone accused of witchcraft was likely to be viewed as a "Devil's Mark" - "evidence" of familiarity with demons, practice of "dark arts" etc.. All nonsense, of course, but God help those accused of witchcraft who had birthmarks etc!

That stated, however, it is true that in modern Wiccan belief certain birthmarks may be significant. For example, it is believed that hereditary members of the Woodbane Clan may be identified by the "Athame" birthmark: a leaf or dagger blade shaped mark, usually red or reddish brown colour.

Septagram/Elven Star is one of the most recognized wiccan symbols, the Septagram is a seven pointed star drawn in or out of a circle. The symbol represents the planetary energy over the seven days of the week. It is believed, by those who practice Wicca, that etching or painting this symbol onto their own Book of Shadows (a personal compilation of rituals and spells)it will provide protection to the contents within. This symbol is also used by those who practice Fairy ( Faerie), a Celtic-tinged Wicca in place of the Pentagram. The points of the star are usually associated with the seven directions; North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Within or with seven magical elements; the four alchemical elements plus three additions, which vary but can be magic, life, or light. Some other interpretations of the seven points are that they stand for seven magical places; sun, moon, sea, sky,forests, wind and spirit.

Generally the first day of the week would be Sunday, due to its solar references. All of the week day names are Pagan in origin: Sunday - Sun Monday - Moon Tuesday - Tyr (God of combat and heroic glory) Wednesday - Woden/Odin (High God in Norse pantheon) Thursday - Thor (God of thunder) Friday - Freya (Goddess of love, beauty and fertility) Saturday - Saturn

i am going to assume "shooting at the wand" but that's just my opinion

Actually the first recorded release of a dove was when survivors of a flood released a dove (somewhere between 6000 BCE and 2300 BCE). If the dove returned then he had found no place to then and the survivors would then know that no land was within their reach. If the dove did not come back then land was found. This is where story gets weird, the dove came back even though it had found land, proven by the dove carrying an olive leaf in it's beak.

drama is acting and ritual is something that you do before something else isn't it?

Ritual or rituals are complex medium of acts, and their main purpose is to reaffirm believes and cultures that nourish community, whereas drama can be actually used to refute these believes or reaffirm them. however it is imperative to note that both mediums have theatrical aspects. Drama is acting and rituals sometimes can be acted out and be performed like in drama.

The Cross. In Pagan practices it is an equal armed cross, it represents the elements, the directions, and crossroads.

Many Wiccans use the Pentacle for protection, but things known as Sigils can also be used.

Henotheism has been around for probably as long as there has been polytheism- The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Atec, Incans, and Mayans at least seemed to practice some form of it, in that a deity was singled out of the pantheon and worshiped at a specific location, usually a temple or alter attended to by a dedicated priesthood whose sole job was to appease that particular deity throughout the year by means of rites, rituals, tithes and other sacrifices.

Most Norwegians would consider themselves christian, so the answer is no. since there is even a state church, it is largely a christian country.

Litha, or Summer Solstice, is celebrated June 21 (although solstices and equinoxes are not exact and may vary by one day). It is a Lesser Sabbat (there are four Lesser and four Greater sabbats).

No, a diamond contains no magical powers. However, A diamond is a beautiful gemstone and has been used to express love and affection for centuries.

I can find no reference to a Ram Hary Chand. Is it possible you have the spelling wrong?
