Plot: Art photographer Shawn Burnett reluctantly agrees to move to a rural farmhouse to help his wife, Helen, recover from the loss of their stillborn baby. At first skeptical of a local legend regarding the property’s past, Shawn soon becomes convinced that the farm is haunted. As Helen recovers from her grief and again becomes pregnant, Shawn keeps the strange occurrences to himself to avoid disrupting her emotional balance. Misinterpreting Shawn’s suggestion to move as a selfish desire to return to the city, Helen becomes estranged from her on-edge husband, as the ghostly presence manifests itself in increasingly terrifying ways.

Whats the difference of magic?
I am doing a bit of research on magic, the real kind not the illusion. I am wondering what the difference between witchcraft, sorcery, and wizardry? Also whats the diffrence of a wizard, mage, sage, sorcerer, and the elementals (pyromancer, necromancer, diviner, conjurer, etc.)
please can any1 tell me what the the diffrence is to them? I am asking for atleast some info, not all.
I am not going to use them I just need to know the diffrence of how the magic is used, and whats the difference magic users and the way they use it


These are all names for unaccepted magic, while accepted magic in a society can be called prayer, or mass, or benediction, or another accepted ritual. All of it is psychological change.

All I know is that Witches practice Magick so try looking it up spelled with a k, a Sorcerer just does illusions and the word Wizard actually means oath breaker. That’s why in Witchcraft there are male Witches not Wizards.

remember witch craft IS DANGEROUS its not something you screw around with you CAN open doors to thing you have never known existed, this sort of thing is dangerous remember spells can backfire this stuff is like playing with fire you have to be careful and you have to know what your doing DO NOT PLAY WITH THIS STUFF it IS REAL
SINNER | Feb 19, 2009


Witchcraft uses evil magic of summonings, rituals and uses potions, wizardry is magic using mostly astrology and the elements of fire water wind and earth. Sorcery is a like wizardry but used more for fortune and talks about gaurdians

Almost all the magick users you said use arcane and black magic.

Wizard warlock and witches use encantation, enchantments, potions and talismans. The difference is that wizards use mostly the arcane, warlocks use black magic, and witches use witchcraft.

Sorcerers use spirits more then potions and encantations. They make a kind of balance in the magic as well. They use spirits for the arcane

Mage are new magic users and sages are scholars in magic. Elementals (like there name says) use only one of the magic of the 6 elements they have chose.

There are different points of view as to what "magic" is and where it comes from.

Some folks say that magic comes from the natural world, from Nature. That’s where you get your elementals, the power of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water, nature spirits, etc.

Some folks say that magic comes from angels, demons, or other spirits, and to use it you must summon them or otherwise connect to them.

Still others say that magic is just the power of one’s intention, or will, that it comes from within each and every one of us.

I don’t know what name you would give to the practitioners of each of these systems. I don’t think it particularly matters, because what’s important is first of all what you BELIEVE, and secondly what you DO with your beliefs.

Different systems have varying nomenclature, as well, so what may be called a "wizard" in one may be called a "witch" in another. It’s all relative.
faithful_scientist | Feb 19, 2009


Well… depends on what you’re into. Most real witches are simply that- witches. You’ll have green witches, kitchen witches, eclectic witches, and that sort. But usually, not much more than that.
Wizards usually perform what is called high magick, or ceremonical magick.
Sages from what I understand are the elders within a group.
Elementals- most of that is the stuff of books. There are elements, and people work with them, but not in the sense of a pyromancer shooting fire out of his hands or a necromancer bringing the dead back to life.. if that makes sense.
You can email me if you have other questions, I’ll do my best to answer them.

Really confused about this poem?
hey guys ive written what i think its about but i didn’t do very well in my exam and i wanna do better in this hw so can anyone give ,me their interpretation of this poem please? thank you x

Here:

Swerving east, from rich industrious shadows
And traffic all night north; swerving through fields
Too thin and thistled to be called meadows,
And now and then a harsh-named halt, that shields
Workmen at dawn; swerving to solitude
Of skies and scarecrows, haystacks, hares and pheasants,
And the widening of the river

Spiritually speaking, on April Fools Day wouldn't it be appropriate for Christians, Pagans, Atheists and all..?
to turn this place into Yahoo? Questions? And reverse the format. Post answers and people would respond with appropriate questions?


I think the question might be:”What are two things you don’t want sitting on your doorstep”.. Lol…Just kidding (((Mormons))) (((Butter lovers)))…

Sounds like fun,(((LT)))…May as well subject myself to continuous violation notices for both Inquires and Answers…

Can’t believe the Watchdogs nailed my one question(in over a year) the other night,explaining personal reasons for no longer submitting posts…The post was very well received and was as genuine and respectful,as I am able to muster…Sheessh….

What is Yahoo Jeopardy, Alex?
Anse Hatfield | Nov 06, 2009


That does sound like fun.

Unfortunately, many people (and the Yamster) possess no sense of humor whatsoever.
gutbucket | Nov 06, 2009


good idea…

example…

answer: the world will not end in 2012

question: will the world end in 2012?
Mars – GotAnswers | Nov 06, 2009


That would be fun.
Except the natural way of Yahoo is to have multiple answers to one question. For that to work, we would have to alter the makeup of Yahoo and have multiple questions for every answer – not to mention everyone would be posting a lot of random or stupid answers.
Oh wait, that happens anyway. lol.

If someone's swearing near your young children,do you tell them off or walk away?
Hi. I don’t have kids (single and lesbian) but i think it depends who or how many there are. I have taken to my 5 year old niece to the movies and a bunch of kids were in a different line talking about the film they were going to see ("Megan Fox is f*cking hot! ") I just covered her ears and gave them an evil glare. Lol. There were 5 of them and if i had said anything,they would have started up something. A can of whoop ass,i suppose. Anywho,what do you do when someone swears near your impressionable child? Thanks. X Sarah


Depends what it is and where I am. If it’s azz or damn or I’m somewhere I can walk away from it, I ignore it and walk away. But if it’s F bombs, etc, and goes on for more than a minute, and I’m somewhere that I’m stuck with them (like at a restaurant or arena seat), I say "Hey!" and if I need to, if they’re that stupid, I gesture to my kids and say "They don’t need to hear that language". It usually stops. Most of the time they’re embarassed and can’t even believe they did it. One time, some mouthy 14 year old kept going and tried to tell me off at a campground in reaction to my confrontation. Took me 10 seconds to find his parents, boy did he regret it.

Bozz Mozz | Dec 07, 2009


yeah, just walk away. don’t cause a scene cause that’d be worse for the child to see and would probably cause more swearing. it’s inevitable these days anyway. kids will hear it, kids will repeat it, kids will eventually add it into their vocabulary.
Krissy. | Dec 07, 2009


I think your sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with the question.

I have and will always said something, to people using bad language in front of children even if they are not my own. I don’t care. I nor my children swear, (well maybe the older one 9, in school but never in my ear shot). I live in Denmark and its considered normal to swear, so I suppose I am fighting a loosing battle, but I am not going down without a fight. to me people who swear do so because they do not know the correct words, and need to have a few lessons in what ever language they use.

So yes I would say something and also if it was on public transport I would tell the driver

Rugratzzzzzzzzzzz | Dec 07, 2009


i know what you are saying but one has only one responsibility with a child. You need to do your best to help your child develop a moral compass. The F word or any other swear word is heard frequently all throughout grade school by any kid in attendance. This includes first grade. You cannot be there to cover your kid’s ears. In fact, why would you want to. Protecting a child from explicitness is like a germ-a-phobe that is always washing hands and using hand sanitizer. The immune system has little practice in germ combat so if there is contact with bacteria the phagocyte count is low and the body’s ability to fight back is weak.
—–I suggest teaching your kid that there WILL be words said, there will be inappropriate things done. Then the kid is already taught to disregard those behaviors. Those behaviors will not be an influence in the child’s life because he/she is in practice of seeing them for what they really are.
benjarick | Dec 07, 2009


what i would do is to walk away,because you cant really do much to stop the kids if they don’t want to stop such language. its advisable to walk away where the child cant hear because it could stick to the child’s little heads which is not good.
ada o | Dec 07, 2009


i always ask them politely to please not speak like that in front of my child and i have never had anyone be rude, i usually get an apology
Miranda | Dec 07, 2009


i guess it depends on wot situstion i cld end up in. if i evaluate, and i think it cld end up in a slgging match then i’ll maybe try and get away.but if i think that they wld actually take a telling off then yeah i will say something. it also depends on whos with me, ie if its the little ones and they dont realy understand anyway, but if its my older ones then i suppose i gotta set an example. 9/10 i dont hear them anyway, the beauty of having deaf ears coz wen u got 6 kids u learn to zone out!!!
roslynn | Dec 07, 2009


Oh, how this hit a nerve. I am a big cusser. I try to keep my mouth shut but it’s tough. I dont’ look around when I’m talking and there may be a little one there. I’ve seen a few moms step between their kids and me so they get my attention and smile. Then, I’m like, "Oh my! I’m so sorry." They aren’t rude or anything so I try to watch it. Because honestly, some people as daft as me don’t notice kids when they are out in public. >>>
goaheadnfireme | Dec 07, 2009


I would much rather my kids be around someone cussing than a nasty gay/lesbian freak. Cuss words will not damage a child but gayness can.
Christian and Caitlyns mom | Dec 07, 2009


I live in Ireland, where I have learnt English. I must say that here swearing is part of the grammar and I’ve learnt to swear while learning English and find really hard to hold off the habit. There are also a lot of words that I don’t really know whether they are swearing or not. For example the F word is clear enough, definitely a swear, but what about "what the heck/hell is going on?" and others. I am also still unclear whether saying "shut up" or "shut your mouth" is the proper way to say it. The funny thing is that in my native language (French), we swear very little and only when a particular situation arises (ie m*rde! if you let something fall and it breaks), whereas in Ireland, using the English language, you would use swear words as a way to stress what you are saying (ie "where the F is he gone?")

What this means is that when I am around kids, I try not to swear but I often let something escape. Therefore I fully expect my kids to hear a lot of swearing whether from strangers or from myself. I therefore know I can’t shield them forever. I’ll try and just explain to them not to use bad words and would tell people I know to mind their language. But I can’t stop them from hearing it on the street or at school even. So no I don’t think I’ll tell strangers or I’d never be finished lecturing people.

I cuss but not in front of other peoples kids. I’d just walk away it’s that simple.

i walk away saying really loud "wow some people are really ignorant." or depending on the situation i might say something to them directly.

You did the right thing. Unfortunately some kids talk like that, and there is nothing you can do about it in such a short time. The best idea is to walk away.
wow2day | Dec 07, 2009


Nothing. Swearing will inevitably happen in front of children. There is nothing wrong with words. They are just words. It’s the context, and figure me this batman, don’t you think her parents swear in front of her? My parents swore constantly in front of me and it’s had no negative effects of any sort. The kid simply needs to understand that she hasn’t anything to swear about yet. Sit down with her and explain the dead-end bleakness of adulthood. Also point out that kids who swear aren’t smart enough to think of creative alternatives, and in many cases are to be avoided in the future.

I try not to let my kids hear anyone swearing..and I tell alot of people ahead of time not to do it around my kids..I think its disrespectful for people to cuss in front of children if they repeatedly and especially the "F" word…I don’t cuss at all..never had the desire too..

Edit~ I forgot to mention that i walk away or distract them so they don’t hear it..or if its someone I know I say hey watch your mouth..

You can go to your local theater and buy a damn ticket!

Pirates rape and murder people all over the world. Stop supporting them!
Panama Joe | Sep 29, 2009


Go to a theater, if everyone just watched them on line the movie makes no money so they will stop making them.

The internet is killing the entertainment industry
That is good I guess, we can all go enjoy the outside as tv is no more

I don’t really know. Sorry if this was no help.
Think of names that you know and change them in a way that you think make it sound more evil or mysterious or seductive…

For example… the name John could be changed to Zon or Jih.

Why can't we live like a Disney movie?
Since I was a little girl. I would watch Disney movies such as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast,
Little Mermaid, etc…And all the same scenario happens where some huge plot happens and then, in couple of days the girl gets her dream guy in the end and they live happily ever after.etc. etc.etc.
why can’t life be that easy!?!?!?


because that’s not reality.

I wish life was that easy too *sigh* I wish I could find my Edward Cullen. In the words of Jacob Black, "Life sucks, and then you die. Yeah. I should be so lucky." Lol, I just HAD to add that :L x

Life isn’t fair
TiMa | Dec 14, 2009


well to do that your mom has to die and you have to be raised an orphan, and besides why in the hell do you want to give control of your destiny over to someone else, if you grab the bull by the horns and control your own life you do NOT need a man to save you.
willow song on wind | Dec 14, 2009


I know it would be great wouldn’t it?
But we’d have to deal with all those baddies too!

The best part would be the random breaking out into song moments!

Beauty and the Beast is my fave!

And Little Mermaid and Lion king!

I love ALL Disney Movies but those are my top 3!

Because life isnt supposed to be perfect.
