Essay On Skyclad

711 Words3 Pages

To be skyclad means to be naked - wearing nothing but the sky. The term itself refers to nudity. But this nudity is not seen as sexual in nature. It means to be physically and emotionally naked in the same way as we came to earth.

To me this term means to be really as I came to this earth and to be equal, no matter if we 're rich or poor or beautiful or ugly. I think while being skyclad I also can feel closer to the God and Goddess. It also has a meaning to be free - free of everything, free of clothes and also free of material things. I think it can be very helpful to do some rituals skyclad, because there is nothing that keeps us to the material world and nothing that is between us and the God and the Goddess.

So you have to know the real meaning of skyclad. You also have to know about yourself an if you feel comfortable with that,otherwise you should not enjoy such rituals as being skyclad can create intimacy. Many covens use to perform skyclad, so everybody has to be aware if he or she really wants to do that, before he or she gets a member. And of course there is also a little sexual element, so everybody has to feel comfortable around the nudity of other people.

I got this term incorrect in the "Off the Top of Your Head"-Assignment, because honestly I have never heard about this before.It was totally new to me and I only could guess about it. I knew the word "sky" which meant to me to be free, so I personally think this was not totally the wrong way, but I didn 't know the meaning of clad, so I could not figure out the complete meaning.
But there are also a lot of misconceptions about this term, because many people think, that Wiccans run around in the forests being naked and doing sexual rituals or having orgies. But this is the totally wrong meaning of such a wonderful term I

He uses clouds and storms and quicksands to convey that civilized life includes the same negativity included in the connotation of those conditions, but nonetheless, those too are apart of nature.

    In one novel named Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, Chris underlines the words “refuge in nature” (Krakauer 189). By underlining those words, Chris stresses their importance to him. Since he wants to find “refuge”, Alex is seeking to leave or escape from somewhere, which is the indulgent society he has lived in for the entirety of his life. This aligns with “moving away from corruption, limits, and civilization” (Tenet Chart).

    Through partaking in interaction rituals, individuals become members of something greater than themselves. This feeling of being apart of something greater than oneself provides a moral community for the individuals, which then guides individuals in their beliefs and behaviors. It is similar to a never-ending circle; as individuals see the emotionally charged environment that this religion provides, they want to be a part of it, so they partake in unusual rituals, which furthers their engagement and emotional connectedness to their community. It almost reminds me a bit of an addiction. This community turns objects, such as poison and snakes as sacred, which in turn creates a sacred and profane world.

  • Essay On Moon Landing

    When Neil Armstrong first touched down on the moon in 1969, millions of people watched him take the first step and create history (Villard). Yet even as we’ve moved on from the moon landings and consider them as a pivotal point for mankind, “Forty years after U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, many conspiracy theorists still insist the Apollo 11 moon landing was an elaborate hoax”(Than). The idea that our voyage to the moon was deliberately staged seems to resurface year after year. While the conspiracy theorists claim the moon landing was a hoax, creating a fake moon landing would have been more expensive and difficult than actually reaching the moon. The race to the moon began on October 5, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into orbit around the earth: “When the Soviet Union launched the satellite Sputnik, on October 4, 1957, the United States experienced a technological identity crisis”(Olson).
