Funny Fluffies, Magick is for Grown Ups

OMFG if that were to happen to me I would NOT be able to control myself..As much as I realize that laughing in their faces would be not so nice..I dont think I'd be able to avoid it really LOL and as much as I KNOW that being a complete and total smartarse would be wrong....My lack of self control in a situation like that would definately get the better of me LOL

thanks!:) i will say one thing about charmed tho..they sure picked the right theme. i know so many wiccans who love that song,it's not funny. i prefer the original morrisey,but,hey..

Scarlet- Oh for heaven's besty! I've seen that a few times on other boards and it always makes me shake my head. I mean, I try not to judge teens as not able to learn as I have children, but when they become high in the seat it's hard not to become slightly "parental" in attitude. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I love your avatar by the way! Namaste- Anora

I'm in the science fiction community and I can't tell you the number of kids that think because they are RPG players they know all about stuff, they only know what the RPG of their choice chooses to use

Elic- You are probably correct. Friends of ours have run into them in their discussions many times. It seems that it just draws that sort of rebellion. Kind of like every child who runs to the library to check out LaVey's The Satanic Bible just to freak out their parents. Namaste-Anora

I was just scrolling down the responses to get a feel of what’s exactly going on here... is this kid here on mylot? BTW, I was reading your responses to Dawn…since I have very little time to read, any online sites that can be a beginners guide to knowing wicca and paganism?

There are a lot of sites on the Internet, but try http://www.witchvox.com

Jwfarrimond- Just a kid who was talking to me recently. Thanks for responding though. Namaste-Anora

Dawn- I wouldn't be surprised since this person seems to have no life of their own. It's sad really. If you ever want book recommendations I'm happy to give you a few. My husband and I have a small library at home. Have a great day! Namaste, Anora

If you would recommend just one book to introduce somebody to Wicca, what would it be? You have a great day too...

Dawn- If you are just looking for a simplified overview I would go with Scott Cunningham. He's an easy read, all of his books are written in a style that is far less cryptic then trying to start out with Crowley, and even Garderner. I use a book with young people by Jennifer Hunter called Wicca for the 21st Century. It's a bit watered down, but it makes for a nice foundation to go from. I know Galena is the leader in writing in Paganism, she may also have some favorites too. Namaste- Anora

Hvedra- Thank you for your response. I agree, it is best to just continue on with studies and surround myself with those who are studied in this area, and kind enough to impart a portion of their knowledge upon me. Namaste-Anora

Baluyadav- Thank you for responding dear friend. Yes, it is due to my husband we have such a vast library! The man cannot go into a store without coming out with a book, but it is all good. We have a really nice shop in our town that offers "used" books at a good price, so we've come home with lots of treasures. Currently I'm reading a book called Dematerializing that is about our need as humans to "buy" things. It's very good and forces one to look at why they buy things and what the real need is. Have a great rest of the week. Namaste-Anora

Ravenladyj- You sound like you have a rich and fascinating background, I should love to hear your story. I started out looking at Wicca when I was first searching outside the Catholic Church, and I can't say that it really was my cup of tea either, though I do have many dear friends who are Wiccan. I have understood it more though since reading more in-depth on Crowley and now am finding myself very drawn toward Thelema. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Namaste-Anora

Monkey Rose- I've been gone for many months, so my apologies for being late on this response. I have no idea why people call each other names to be honest. My guess is that it stems from personal insecurities. If you are Wiccan, I would suspect that if you study long enough you'll be introduced to Gardner as well as Crowley. Though, I've experienced that many New Age Wiccan covens do not discuss these key figures, and they do an injustice to those who they teach. It does diservice to both men to summarize, but I shall do this for the sake of brevity. Crowley's work influenced Gerald Gardner's work. Almost all Wicca that we see today in the occult/pagan world stem from Gardner's work. There are a few who claim to bypass Gardner, and even Crowley but most studied occultists of various traditions understand the influences and contributions of Crowley and why they are important. Are you associated with any major Wiccan groups/covens? Are you a solitary practioner? What tradition are you associated with? Namaste-Anora

Pat- It is my hopes too that they will do more then read a book, and yes a little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous. In the occult/magickal world at times it seems that too many are willing to just do it for show, rather then for spiritual reasons and they soon find themselves on a road of transformation that perhaps they were not ready for in the first place. Thanks for sharing. Namaste, Anora
