Saintly Flesh
The room was dark except for the soft glow of a table filled with prayer candles, casting shadows against ancient cathedral walls. The air was thick with the scent of incense remaining after the evening mass. Jenna knelt on a velvet cushion she’d borrowed from a pew. Her hair cascaded like flowing dark water, and her eyes were closed in a state of serene contemplation.
Jenna was the embodiment of beauty and grace even though her form shivered naked in the candlelight. The flickering light played upon her delicate features, highlighting her high cheekbones and the fullness of her...

Religious Maniacs
Little Harry Sack was barely 5 years old when he found out by his parents that his heart was wicked
His parents were religious fanatics, who read the good book each and every hour
They isolated little Harry from the rest of the world
His father worked on the farm producing milk & meat to sell in town
His mother was a stay at home mom, strict and overbearing
Many of the locals didn't even know Harry Sack existed
His parents taught him that in order to be faithful to the lord, you must do what we say or want
Harry was given chores from morning till...

The Forever Agnostic
I'm glad I stopped going to church a few weeks ago. I didn't like that the Bible study leader expressed that I was a hypocrite for simply expressing how I felt about the church. He also yelled at me once in a way they he never yelled at anyone else.
I'm convinced that this is not the group for me. That church in general is not for me. I never met a single close friend. The Christians are never the ones who even go out of their way for me. It's always my more skeptical friends who are willing to go in the mud with me. Christians, with their pearly white garments, don't want to look...

Rebel Girl Mclean
On Monday afternoon, a middle-aged man named Zaire went downtown to buy goldfish for his aquarium. He bought two goldfish from a vendor on King Street, and then he headed for the taxi stand on West Street. When he reached the taxi stand, he saw a large group of people including schoolchildren standing there waiting for Maxfield taxis. At that moment, no taxi was there loading. He thought to himself that he would not get the chance to get on a taxi because the crowd would rush into any taxi that arrived there. Consequently, he decided to walk to a place called Fish Ground near the intersection...

Truth that is Nurtured, and Other Teachings
- Truth that is Nurtured, and Other Teachings -
I bear witness and testimony that Allah is greater than all things, for Allah is all things and within and a part of all things, and apart from all things eternally and without ending. There is nothing that can be truly called God save for Allah! The angels that are Allah's messengers revere the Eternal One. The Jinn serve the will of the Eternal One. Even those that are fallen from grace, are so by the will of that Eternal One, for there is nothing that is not in accordance with what was foreseen by Allah. That which we may...

Sand, Water, and Spirit
- Sand, Water, and Spirit -
Across the sands, the whispering of a thousand lifetimes...
I hear the voices calling from the places no ear has heard,
And in the waters that lie hidden, I see the tapestry of the past.
How can I speak of what I have seen, so it can be conferred?
The tapestry of things that flow from the first of all, unto the last.
Only to begin anew, with the ringing of profound celestial chimes!
Across the ages, the knowing of futures without limitation...
Every possibility my eyes have glimpsed, but only one to be;
For...

How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part Two
- How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part Two -
At the end of my long life as Ishtar, when I was still going by the name of Ereshkigal, I retired from ruling over Kurnugia and left it in the care of Nergal whilst I went away to live with Lilith in her home by the shores of the Red Sea. Many times, the Anunnaki sent messengers to myself and to Lilith to get us to come back to them and every time we refused to do so. Eventually, despite my body being pretty much the latest model synthetic android designed to last for thousands of years... wear and tear, and a general lack of...

How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part One
- How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part One -
This is a work explaining how it was that I came to Islam from having been a Wiccan previously, and how it does not contradict... but rather enhances and expands upon... all of my previous beliefs. Likely, the best place to begin with, should always be the origination of things. And, for me, the start of all my spiritual undertakings was the year 1991, when I was seventeen years old. The year previous, sometime after the death of my first love Andrea, I was contacted by a girl named Lilith who physically was, to so look at...
