Communion Wafers!

I've dabbled in Wiccan myself, I say dabbled because I don't feel "Wiccan" and I don't know a whole lot. I understand the Basics, I've atteneded a few Coven rituals, and tried a few rituals on my own, but I think i'm missing that "a ha!" moment that makes me feel like this is what I'm looking for. I actually feel alot like you, being raised Christian has ingrained so much into me, I can't just shut it off. I love the concepts, spirtiualty, freedom and the individuality of wicca, but still cling to the basics of christianity.

The first coven ritual I was involved with, we drank mead and ate banna nut muffins! (this was before I was dx'd). It was amazing!

Dear SunnyDyRain,

I have been practicing Wicca for four and a half years now. I invoke God and The Virgin Mary as the God and Goddess. Did you know there was Christian folk magic at one time? It ended due to the massive murders during the Burning Times. It was funny how I got into Wicca. I received a Pyramid Collection catalog. I saw the Witchcraft stuff in it, including the Witches' hippocratic oath of "Harm None." I was always taught Witches were evil, sold their soul to the devil, etc. I had to learn more! So, I began reading books, and I thought this was a good thing for me. I was unsure, though. I asked God, "If this is what you want me to do, send me a sign!" Sure, enough, he sent three! You cannot mistake a sign from Him. He is very clear. Other people say this is rediculous, but God seems to want me to do this. I believe he has a special path for us all. My father is more supportive than my mother. My mother is afraid for me to do rituals because she has this absurd notion that demons will start popping up out of nowhere! :lol: I told her, your intentions being good will never attract or summon one. It appears she is the one who does not have much faith. If she did, she would believe God would protect her from that. The feeling I got when I consecrated my tools was amazing! There was this beautiful peacefulness and energy that I never felt before. I think the only other time I felt that was when I was saved at a Carmen concert. I am a solitary practitioner, because I do not know of any others who have my beliefs with Christianity and Wicca combined around here.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

This is getting a little bit off topic as it is about "Communion Wafers".

A new thread would be appropriate on the "Gab/Chat Forum", with no offense to anyone or any discussion, but it is veering away from the originality of the thread.

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
