For example, I have answered almost 1000 questions, and it would be useful if I could organize them more efficiently, preferably by category, rather than by date. I sent this suggest to the Answers Team with no response. Any suggestions?

So how do Witches define enlightenment? Enlightenment isn't a concept that has gotten much attention in Wicca. Is Enlightenment Contrary To Wicca?

No jokes or sarcasm please. . . this is a serious question.

When my father was younger, he used to channel an entity named Tahkar. Now that he is gravely ill, he gave me a lot of his papers. Among the papers I found a 28 page transcript entitled: The Emerald Tablets: Re-recorded and Interpreted by Tahkar from a Translation by Doreal. I know that Tahkar refers to the entity that my father used to channel. When I asked him about it now, years later, he doesn't remember much (probably due to his illness). He remembers Tahkar, but when I asked him who is Doreal, he said he didn't know. Has anyone ever heard of The Emerald Tablets and/or an entity named Doreal?

To the person who removed the Banshee question, I have information for you--nothing scary--just historically informative info that might help.

Just curious. I thought (according to Community Guidelines), that "Thumbs Down" are suppose to be given if the answer is inflamatory, judgemental or completely unhelpful. If you disagree with an answer, that's fine; but why does disagreeing warrent a "Thumbs Down"? I've noticed this a lot with questions in which an OPINION is being asked (ex: in Religion & Spirituality and Philosophy).

Dreams: a combination of real social situations and real educational experiences in which the "spirit" portion of the person travels to a multidimensional energy world which is the source of all "power" that flows into the Now-World, here on Earth, in order to communicate with the spirit beings/entities inhabiting this multidimensional energy world who interact with human beings and provide the means to channel "power" from the multidimensional energy world to the Now-World, while the "body" portion of the person is in a state of sleep. Dreaming shares basic cognitive structures and processes with waking life, and therefore it is possible to develop relationships with spirits through dream experiences. According to Ojibwa world view, "persons" are of both the human and other-than- human kind. Other-than-human persons include: spirit beings/entities seen in dreams and the Dream itself.

The US House of Representatives on September 13 voted to award His Holiness the Dalai Lama the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation's highest civilian honor. The award in recognition of the Dalai Lama's advocacy of religious harmony, non-violence, and human rights throughout the world and for his efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Tibet issue though dialogue with the Chinese leadership. The bill enjoyed broad bipartisan support, with 387 cosponsors drawn from both political parties in the House and Senate, representing more than two-thirds of Congress. President Bush presented the medal at a congressional ceremony.

Personally, I think it is wonderful and don't question His Holiness' motives at all. But, I have heard some rumblings which question his motives for accepting such an honor from a "war mongering" President (Bush). The idea being that Bush is using the His Holiness for political gain and that His Holiness is too naive to realize it. Any thoughts?

Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) is the term traditionally used to describe unexpected sounds or voices sometimes found on recording media. EVP initially involved audio tape recorders, but now, virtually any recording medium can be a vehicle for this phenomena. I am interested in your personal experience(s) with EVP. Thank you.

One of mine is:

With the wish to free all beings

Enthused by Compassion and Wisdom

For the benefit of all sentient beings

For as long as space endures

And as long as sentient beings remain

May I too abide

To dispell the miseries of the world

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

I am in alot of pain and am currently seeing a Chiropractor because my insurance covers chiropractic care.

I had great success with acupunture to treat sciatica. Does it work for carpal tunnel?

I am in a lot of pain. I have tried the wrist splints and am currently seeing a Chiropractor.

Besides the wrist splints, does anyone have experience with treatments for carpal tunnel? Did it work? I am particularly interested if anyone has tried this advertised "carpal tunnel solution"

The Divine Feminine is present in Christianity in the form of the Blessed Mary. Whether Christians accept it or not, The Blessed Mary is Maiden, Mother and Crone (crone meaning "the wise one"); The Blessed Mary is Queen of Heaven. The Blessed Mary is the male God's consort and gave birth to Their Divine Son. How could She have given birth to a Divine Son, if, She, Herself, were not Divine? Christians may not accept nor believe this.

As an ex-Catholic and a Wiccan (witch) of 25 years, I accept the Divinity of Christ and Mary as Goddess. Remember, some things are TRUE whether you believe it or not. The truth is, Mary is the Triple Goddess. The fact is that Christianity is a religious institution created by the men. Don't blame Christ for what His followers have done nor how His followers chose to interpret the Truth.

I haven't been part of Yahoo Answers very long, but I noticed that in the last week three questions regarding Wicca and worshipping the Goddess have been asked in the Mythology & Folklore category. Can't we reclaim our rightful place in the Religion & Spirituality category?

When I've made a mistake, I take responsibility and apologize. Recently, I was having a discussion with a friend and I realized very quickly that I upset my friend, so I apologized. When I said, "I'm sorry for. . ." my friend responded with a curt "You should be." I was taken aback by the response, and actually felt offended, even hurt. Has this every happened to you? Am I being overly sensitive?
