Black African Magic Strain is a popular and highly potent cannabis strain known for its unique and intense effects. This strain is a pure sativa, believed to be native to the African continent. The Black African Magic Strain is characterized by its dark and dense buds that are covered in a thick layer of resin. The buds have a pungent and earthy aroma, with hints of citrus and pine. This strain is known for its high THC content, which can range from 20% to 25% or higher. The effects of the Black African Magic Strain are often described as uplifting and energizing.

“He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.” (Ezekiel 8:13-14)

This study does not surprise Bible readers, because they know Daniel s little horn, Paul s man of sin, and John s great whore and beast are prophecies of the popes and church of Rome and their wicked rebellion against God and His word Dan 7 1-28; II Thess 2 1-12; Rev 17 1-18. Abstaining from meat, which faithful Catholics do on Fridays, Ash Wednesday, December 7, and December 24, is a doctrine of the devil and proof of their apostasy from the Christian religion I Tim 4 1-3.

The effects of the Black African Magic Strain are often described as uplifting and energizing. It provides a burst of euphoria and can increase focus and creativity. Many users report feeling a sense of happiness and an uplifted mood after consuming this strain.

Are there any pagan elements in the observance of Ash Wednesday

In my tradition, we celebrated Ash Wednesday last night, February 1st. Kimberly Winston wrote the following about the origins of this ritual in the Huffington Post in an article entitled Ash Wednesday Explained: The Meaning Behind the Dust:

“There is no mention of Ash Wednesday in the Bible. But there is a tradition of donning ashes as a sign of penitence that predates Jesus. In the Old Testament, Job repents “in dust and ashes,” and there are other associations of ashes and repentance in Esther, Samuel, Isaiah and Jeremiah. By the 10th century, the monk Aelfric tied the practice, which dates to the eighth century, to the period before Easter, writing, ‘Now let us do this little at the beginning of our Lent that we strew ashes upon our heads to signify that we ought to repent of our sins during the Lenten fast.’ By the 11th century, the practice was widespread throughout the church — until Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, threw the practice out in the 16th century because it was not biblically based. There’s no Lent in the Bible, either, though many Christians see it as an imitation of the 40 days Jesus spent fasting and battling with Satan in the desert.”

These days, a number of Christian denominations place ashes in the sign of the cross on the foreheads of worshippers including Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians, United Methodists, Presbyterians, UCC and Moravians. Yet, in spite of its widespread use, I found plenty of Christian writers bashing the ritual because of its “pagan” origins.

So I did a little digging, and this is what I found:

• It appears that in ancient Nordic Pagan religion, ashes were placed above the brow to ensure the protection of the Norse God, Odin. The practice spread to Europe during the Viking conquests. It also appears that this ritual was done on a Wednesday, the day named for Odin, Odin’s Day.
• In Hinduism vibhuti, meaning “sacred ash,” place three horizontal lines across their foreheads and other body parts to please the god Shiva.

(If you have any further information and/or insight to share on this subject, please do so in the comment section. Thanks!)

There are a number of Christian blogs and web sites who bash the ritual of Ash Wednesday and warn people not to observe it because of it’s Pagan origins. If you’ve read my blog, you know I find this humorous because Christianity incorporated and adapted numerous beliefs and rituals from their Pagan brothers and sisters. Ashes are only the tip of a very large iceberg!

Personally, I love the ritual because it gives me a fresh perspective as I enter the season of Lent: “Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” These are the words that accompany the ashes that are placed on foreheads in the sign of the cross. The words and ashes remind us that life is short and we should life it to the fullest. The cross reminds me of my connection to Jesus who calls me to live a life that is centered in love of the Divine, love of neighbor, and love of self. The cross also reminds me to consider what destructive patterns of living and thinking I need to let go of, in order that new ones can be nurtured in my life.

This year, as I received my ashes, I also thought of its connection with my Pagan friends who have also used ashes in ritual to remind them of their connection to the Divine. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Some also find it helpful for managing stress and anxiety. Due to its high THC content, the Black African Magic Strain is not recommended for novice users or those who are sensitive to the effects of cannabis. It is best suited for experienced users who are looking for a strong and long-lasting high. When it comes to cultivation, the Black African Magic Strain can be challenging to grow. It requires a warm and sunny climate, as well as proper care and attention to thrive. This strain has a long flowering time of around 10 to 12 weeks, and it can produce a high yield if cultivated correctly. In conclusion, the Black African Magic Strain is a potent and sought-after cannabis strain known for its unique effects. It provides a strong and long-lasting high, making it popular among experienced users. However, due to its high THC content, it is not recommended for novice users. If you are interested in trying this strain, it is important to source it from a reputable and legal dispensary..
