9_04..........Weapon: Wand, Lamp, Bread

To be finished

Wand: Ah the magic wand. It has got to be the most famous of all of the tools of the magician or witch but what is the actual point of the wand?

Can't you just grab a stick of any sort and point it at what you want to change and have that thing be altered? 

Well try it and see for yourself and the outcome is going to be pretty predictable. BUZZZ! Nothing!

As I mentioned earlier the combination of the things culminate to the eventual whole of the thing, whatever that thing may be.

This is one of those areas that the skeptic will say is pretty much worthless and the wand will not work for any reason or in any way and for that person this is the truth and one that they have created for themselves.

Your belief goes beyond that which you have decided to believe in and I know it sounds a little strange but as a species we are forced to have certain beliefs that we consider common to all and then there are others that we can pick and choose from.

Lamp: The lamp is commonly the significator of the eternal light

Bread: The obvious sustenance of life but it wouldn't do much harm to hit someone with a loaf of bread anyway.

How can bread be seen as a weapon? I mean after all a weapon is something that you do damage with anyway, right? 

Well yes but there are offensive and defensive weapons and the bread could be seen as more of a shield even though it's not too effective at stopping the blade of a sword it can transfer energy from one spot to another.

The eating of the consecrated wafer of the Catholics and other god eating religions would be more the aspect of the application of bread as a weapon although if you let it sit long enough it can get pretty hard.

By endowing a piece of food with an aspect of the creator or greater power and then with that in mind actually physically consuming the item has some deep symbolic refluxes attached with it.

Any religion can accomplish this and different items are used in this way but they are all consumable to achieve the aspect of receiving something completely.

The concept is that something as omnipotent as God can offer protection as a spiritual force field that can shield you from the inside out.

Eat of my body and drink of my blood. Sounds like cannibalism to me and I'm just not that into that kind of thing and it's obvious that Christ didn't mean it that way.

How uncommon is it for people to pray over their food?

Sure the masses consider it the way to give thanks but the underlying concept is for the light of the creator to enter the room and endow the edibles with It's divine power prior your consuming it.

Is someone that doesn't really care about God and all that missing out on any more protein and energy from the same food?

They could just stop in to church on Sunday to grab a snack that needs salt.

Is there anything that tangibly changes aside from an attitude?
