TOday the dog died after 16 years and my mom was really upset and she then took it out on me because I had not shed a bitter tear to which I replied: "Mom, things are born, they live, and then they die. All things do.... Nothing is exempt from that." She nearly hit the roof, though. Oh well.... She'll live. At any rate, my folks'll be okay with me someday...... after they get over the trauma of having a half-gay, Satanic son........ they'll be okay. ;) Pax. 93 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Frater Almost Area: Night Side To: Charles Nemo 19 Aug 92 01:09:36 Subject: Wiccans vs. Ceremonialists Rec'd Sent UpdReq Exactly! Today, tho, I did a ritual that hits the 26th path on the tree tho, to see exactly how well my magical control is coming. We can control our universe as soon as we realise that it is merely perception..... There are no demons in hell and no angels in heaven... There are merely psychological forces which reflect nature.... Eventually, if we altar psych, nature must altar itself to our perception making what we percieve "law."

Well, just to let you know, there ARE those of us who are not all "sweetness and light" Wiccans ! I am, if I MUST be coloured, grey. I practice things which would be considered gleaming white, on occasion. I also practice things which would be comdemned by many . I take lessons as they come, and don't ignore some just because they're coloured...that'd be racist!

A.C. came up with some pretty good lines...Make no difference between one thing and any other. Let sucsess be thy proof.... I have been removing the belief systems from my views...keeping the perseptions as clear as I can. Working away from the Human mind...It is a fun toy, but it can also be an addictive drug. What would it be...a Zen Thelemic? EEEK! a Label! I am too much a discordian to accept that!

Pax. 93 I do find myself thinking seriously at times -- what if it is all really a dream/illusion?
