What tradition or lineage are you part of? Do you have a circle or coven?
Are you an Initiate yet?
Did you do the year-and-a-day, or some other tradition?
Do you adhere to the Rede and the Threefold Law?
I have a 'internet' coven where there are four 'house leaders,' representing the things we saw in the craft movie. i am east where the knife is, being fire, and the others ave not chosen their directions and elements yet.

In the tradition of the 1880s Order of the Golden Dawn a watchtower or guardian in ceremonial and derived neopagan magical tradition is a tutelary spirit of one of the four cardinal points or "quarters" (north, east, south, and west). They are also variously associated in many traditions with each the four classical elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and stars (Fomalhaut, Aldebaran, Regulus, and Antares). The Watchtowers are evoked during the ritual of casting a magic circle.
Alternately, "Watchtowers" may refer specifically to the abodes of the Guardians, with the guardians themselves referred to as "Watchers" or simply "Guardians".
In Christian influenced magic traditions, they are understood to be the Archangels Uriel, Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel.
The way i understand it, everything happens in cycles, and, with each cycle comes a 'rebirth' or 'renewal' of 'energies' and 'life.' we have a lot of people in our house, but they come and go and rotate too, exploring other ideas of how to live with nature. they have their own gods, being, allah, venus and neptune, but we all serve them if we find their message true. i like to build bridges between nations and provinces and people and cultures, and hope this satisfies my god Gaia. i am quite lazy at real life, unless i find a way to make a lot of fun about it, and find numbers and timing to be my strong suites. i have dedicated my debates here on this site to my god in my signature, and hope this will bring about interest in what that weird and funny guy was talking about. it is a gentle persuasion to me.
So, what do you fin other faiths do for their gods? do they whip themselves - do gods like to see people whipping themselves? what does that do for the god emotionally. to beg to go to heaven on your knees is a "lazy wicked servant" to me, instead bring your god into your decision making. i find everybody is very interested in who i align with, and, they want me to submit to them, and 'reach' for them or something. no offense, i don't want anything to do with you, and, do not admire you. not you of course, but like primal beings that think they are right. i could rip their bible up and smear it onto the alter of my god any day of the week, that is a direct threat. i will make such a joke of them they will reach for the devil to take the pain away like they always do, as, they want a quick fix, a place in the powerful hierarchy of society. i am better than them in nearly every conceivable way, and this can be proven, but, without judges they can pay off. but, i like to meet Christians that listen to me, and with the way they reject people and make them bow to them claiming they are bowing to the lord, there are plenty of people for me to talk to. all you need is to get someone, one person, to accept you truely. this is problem in my house, as my family is subjugated by immense means, and, they will find that all they care about is being 'loved,' and by that i mean supported by the community that drags a veil over them and tells them they are, even though they know they are not. they keep waiting for something to happen, i would rather play with the birds who are also my friends, as the 'Christians' have killed everything in and near my garden.
So, i find peace with things that have nothing to gain from me except my company. i will never accept one of those people, unless there is something big in it for me. i can simply remove them from their houses, as i have bought them through the invisible hands of power, as i enriched them financially with my works on debating sites.
One day someone bigger than them is going to ask for their talents back, and they will bring back what they buried in the ground.
