Finally finished a book!

Jul 11, 2014 22:04

I finally finished the third book I read for IDGAF, Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson. *Fireworks!* It took me long enough! Well, considering that I got through Fiona quite quickly and then ploughed through Sylvan in a matter of days, I guess it's OK. I have three months of my dedicant process to go and three books left to read, so if I read a ( Read more... )

Thanks, I am well, and BB to you, too!

Your coven sounds like they're pretty thorough in their training, which is good.

My take on cursing is that with some people, just being who they are is a curse. I feel that way about my brother Doug.

I cursed someone once, but it came back to me - but then again, maybe he was just receiving his Karma and I was receiving mine.

Thank you, glad you're well. :)

It's not actually a *coven*, it is a fledgling Tradition of witchcraft that the founders are just starting. The four of them have a coven of their own, but they have decided to start this tradition to help other eclectics who may benefit from some additional structure. The dedication to learning more and having a more regular practice has really benefited me!

I agree with you 100% that some people are just cursed by being who they are... I think they curse themselves really (and I also believe everyone has the power to curse, not just witches... my dad is great at cursing and has cursed me several times with the stuff he's said... "don't lie or I'll know" etc. LOL). It's a hard call to say what is the result of cursing or ill-wishing and what's just karma. Everything that happens to us is a learning curve anyway so at the end of the day maybe it doesn't really matter? I hope you learned from what happened to you and are OK. *Hug*

I didn't know it was a fledgling tradition. That's pretty cool. I'm glad their methods have benefited you ( ... )

Haha, yeah I guess that was a bad example. ;D But I do strongly believe that parents can curse or bless their children with the things they say and that's why I try to be conscious of the things I say to Jonah (even while he's at this age). I agree with you that it's good to learn from your experiences, and some of the hardest things I've been through I can definitely say I have learned from, I'll give myself that. I do wish I'd learn not to spend money frivolously though! I don't seem to learn that one!

Thanks again for your reply and for reading my posts about IDGAF. :D I'll be back soon with another post. xx

I forgot I was on LJ and not on FB and confused myself when I tried to like this post. :)

My biggest suggestion when someone asks me what they should read when they are new to the Craft is "everything." Even if it's crap or doesn't suit your needs, read it. You'll never know what's right for you if you have nothing to compare the book to. So I'm happy you read!

I agree that it's always good to read... some people argue that teenagers etc. shouldn't read crap like Silver RavenWolf, but I think we all have a brain and it never hurts to read something and then make up your own mind about it. I'm glad I read too, and glad that I joined IDGAF to make more of a dedication to reading and learning more.

I think the LJ equivalent of liking is to comment "+1" or "this". ;)
