Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I find this all too true on a daily basis.

Zslone2 Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I find this all too true on a daily basis. I concur! the ugly truth for me was learning that not all teachers have intentions on mentoring you as you progress in your chosen path, some are just down right pervs.

A couple I'm still learning :
No matter how stupid/aggravating/outright wrong someone is, there's still something to be gained from them, even if it's knowledge of what not to do.
You will never have enough time to say everything you should.
I am not the center of the universe. Other people have their off days, too.
No matter how much you dislike someone, every now and then, they'll do something to completely surprise the hell out of you.

You might have to leave behind everything you know in order to actually do something with your life.
Even the most highly recommended and widly respected of "authorities" can seem full of crap to you.
And on a similar not: Not all teachers now what they're talking about.
Always check sources.
No matter how much it bugs me not to know something, Wicca and its mysteries are not for me.

Your hard work is for nothing. It is the people who haven't earned the nicer things that will be handed the things that you dream of on a silver platter.

- Paganism has an anti-intellectual bias. It's sometimes subtle, but it's there - "Thinking gets in the way of feeling/spirituality/meditation/prayer".
- Finding your comfort zone, or a middle-ground, where you're both spiritually creative and fufilled, and intellectually satisfied is DAMN hard work to acheive. And you may not find that on a single path.
- It's the Craft of the Wise, not the Craft of the Nice.

Violet Song jat Shariff Morgandria - Paganism has an anti-intellectual bias. It's sometimes subtle, but it's there - "Thinking gets in the way of feeling/spirituality/meditation/prayer". QFT. I sometimes wonder where that line of thinking originated.... Reactionary people coming out of dogmatic religions...they don't want to be told what to do, or that what they do is wrong. Sometimes they don't even want to believe there are ultimate truths. Everything becomes subjective for them. There's lots of intelligent, educated people in pagan religions. Unfortunetely, the scholarly approach tends to end well before "Why am I doing this?" and "Should I be doing this?". Any more thought past the origins and history of various practices tends to be derided. Or you end up with things the other way, where people are so busy nit-picking things apart intellectually, they lack the creative, joyful aspects in their religion, and they may actually eschew practice entirely, feeling it unnescessary. One side of the equation fuels the other...

I've been feeling this quote all week. I feel so torn about it gonk . I know I should try to get along with most of them, and I do want to...but some of them just say/do the dumbest things and it's so hard to respect them or take them seriously, ya know? It's so hard to willingly be associated with so many of them.

Just don't think about it as "other Pagans". Think of it as "stupid people".

Beautiful Propaganda I started out on the pagan path when I was 12 and read Silver Ravenwolf. I called myself a Wiccan for like.. a year. I still feel kind of bad about that. yeah me to... silvers books are really general so when i didn't seem to attune to being wiccan and followed my own path, my best friend keeps calling me wiccan and well, i feel like im cheating wicca.

don't let anyone hurt you enough that you loose control
heh... this guy kept saying i worshipped the devil over and over and i lost it,
i couldn't breath and i just grabbed his armpit fat and twisted it around and he squeled...
that was the first time i hurt someone with intent to harm and i still feel bad about it even though his mom said he deserved it
