To me, also it's not just witchcraft. It's the whole world. There's always something new to learn, even if it's been known for decades already. Figure out how things work, why they work..
Witchcraft is just one part of it all. And that itself always has something new to learn. Different views, beliefs, practices, methods.. And finding your own happy place in it all.

Ah, that quote is written in my Book of Shadows in my herbal 'section'. Do you know the first person to say it Violet?

That, kage, is the many reason I don't consider myself to be a witch yet. I simply don't feel connected enough to the world around me. I haven't gotten away to study the Elements nearly as much as I'd like to, but then again I don't think it's something that can be rushed by sitting in the woods for four hours. It needs to be the right time for me. For anyone.

LILITH IS NOT YOUR ******** PATRON. She's not even a goddess. Lilith was first a human, then a demon in Abrahamic mythology!! NOT A GODDESS.

For ******** sake, if you're going to mix your pantheons like they're going out of style, don't mix with the Abrahamic one.

Dear ******** DOWN THE ******** RUNES. Stop it, I'm serious. They are not just stones. They are not your runes, either, so don't call them that - they're HIS runes and if you don't know that, you have no ******** right using them.

They are not your Ravenwolf-brand divination tool. They are not an exotic alternative to the tarot. They are not the all-singing, all-dancing Magic Eight Ball of the North!

SO ******** STOP IT!
Oh Gods thank you! I'm trying to learn the Runes myself and I can't believe how people veiw them. someone actually descried the runes to me as "like tarot, only simpler". ******** What?!?? Just because they can be used for divination, (and this is by no means their only, or even truest purpose) that doesn't make them like tarot. And in what way are they simpler? I've found them to be very nuanced and comlex many times. They can be very direct but that's not the ame as simple.

And on an unrelated rant, Grow the ******** UP!. Stop crying like a spoiled child about every little annoyance and act like the 25 year old married woman you are. My Gods! You'd think that every little paper cut was as painful as a broken leg the way you go on. And yes, people will say and do things that you don't like, or misunderstand you sometimes. Deal with it! This is real life, you ******** wuss!


Hehe, yeah. I purchased a set the other day, and I haven't hardly touched them yet. I know that I don't know how to use them, so I practice caution. It's amazing how many idiots just... ugh. It's been said. I'll put them to use when I know how and have done plenty of reading and mental preparation. Why? Because I have a brain.

I've also heard it said "Stop learning - start dying."

Why is it that it seems to be a ******** requirement of being a Pagan to be a self-deluded, self-obsessed ignoramus with a persecution complex?! No wonder everyone thinks we're ******** flakes who bounce around covered in ******** sparkles!

STOP your ******** whining! Stop your pathetic bitching about your omg SO HORRIBLE life with your parents who only ask that you ******** LOVE them enough to give them a little ******** courtesy!

Stop your utterly idiotic self-righteousness! You are not a warrior for Goddess! You are a horrible, horrible person and you cause me PERSONAL OFFENSE. You OFFEND ME, on a personal level, with your ignorance and your inexcusable behaviour!

AND YOU. You arrogant little child. You don't know a goddamn thing beyond the sites I ******** linked you to, and you're lucky I did that, so don't ******** try to tell me that you're this or that. Try actually studying - ********, try PRACTISING the actual religion before you claim to be a ******** adherent. Take your half-assed new age bullshit, make incense out of it, light it, and stick it up your a**. I do not want to hear your asinine assertions via PM, and I know for a goddamn fact that you would have posted them in guild had the threads not been locked. Stab yourself in the eye.

Yours in rage,
San.


This should be posted in every "Pagan" guild on gaia!

Why the ******** Are you still defending your Vampirism... Why the ******** did you even mention Schizophrenia. and why the hell didn't you complain to me about this matter instead of running to the Captain of the guild who AGREED with me about your "I'm cut off from the energy of the universe and to feed of a drop of my girlfriends blood to do magic."
Seriously... Cut off from the Energy of the universe? Dude.. you'd be dead...
Oh wait... You're a Vaaaaaaaampire... you live forever.. do you Sparkle too? They Sell Body shimmer at Hot Topic if you want to.
And I don't care if you and your Girlfriend met through "vampirism". If you bonded through the consuming of her blood then Woohoo! Blood magic, not Vampirism.. and Blood magic doesn't make you a Vampire.
Also.. Dude, You're not Wiccan, Quit saying it...
You're Eclectic Neo-pagan with a blood fetish.
If you want to be a Vampire Warlock from DnD, I've got the books. Roll 3d6 6 times and Distribute your stats, I'll have the Character sheet Faxed to you... -_- Also, It's a Level Adjustment.
Get a grip onto Reality... ><

WHAT.

THE ******** href="https://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBe-Teen-Goddess-Francesca-Grandis%2Fdp%2F0806526513%2Fref%3Dsr_1_6%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1262684862%26sr%3D8-6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IS THIS.

You know what the worst part is? Oberon "I'm totally a wizard, also have you seen my unicorn?" Zell wrote a 5-star review.

AND I QUOTE.

Quote:
Francesca includes basic teachings on Wiccan principles, introduces the God and Goddess, and explains covens. But even though she is practically the poster girl of the Feri Tradition of Witchcraft, this book really isn't about a particular Wiccan or Pagan Tradition. And you'll see that you don't need to join a group to benefit from these ancient wisdoms and techniques.

Francesca writes with the "girl-talk" intimacy of your very best friend, who's been around. The book reads like it's happening at a slumber party. But understand that even though she occasionally addresses possible male readers, this isn't a book for boys, who would be unlikely in any case to be caught dead with its hot pink cover! And this is just fine--their sisters and girlfriends who read "Be a Teen Goddess!" can enlighten them when necessary.


YOU USED TO BE COOL, ZELL. WTF HAPPENED.

The more I post on Gaia, the more I'm convinced that 14-hour days, year-round schooling should be mandatory.

See, now I have to disagree with this post. Zell never used to be cool. :p

I've always seen him as an attention-hungry media whore, and someone whose standards and morality change when convenient. I'm just not a fan.

As for deGrandis...ick. She can legitimately claim for be Feri. Wiccan, not as much. I honestly don't know why or when she started claiming the Wiccan bit - it was not part of the claims I remember from 10 years ago. She seems to be one of those people who collects initiations, simply to be able to say she has them.

It's all...tacky. And I don't think I want to know how much she charges people to learn her 'Feri Celtic Shamanistic Wicca'. >_<
