I am new, too. I need to meet some new poeple. My boyfriends family does not like me because I talk different tahn they think is normal. I try to be quiet but hat is not good enough. They think I care about money, just moneyk, but I care about him, too. I think they don't think Im good enough for him. Now he won't see me and I an't go to his house because his mom makes a big fuss. He is 28 years old, old enough to be his own man! 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Stephen Hovey Area: MagickNet To: The Grey man 10 Sep 92 11:02:54 Subject: PAGAN SEMINARY Sent UpdReq I think any attempt to formalize would ultimately result in the abuse and corruption evident in deciplines who have oraganized such in the past. In other words, paganism would become as tainted as most of the other religions in the world. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Stephen Hovey Area: MagickNet To: Barbara Kennedy 10 Sep 92 11:10:26 Subject: cards Sent UpdReq There are a hundred books on the subject. I dont pretend to be an authority, but Ill give you what I believe. I believe that tarot acts as a trigger to the subconscious, and as a way to misdirect the conscious mind, allow the person's sensitive abilities to come thru. Same way a crystal ball or a dowsing pendulum or a glass of water might work for someone else. So the ability is in the reader, not in the method of reading.. As to protection.. i have never heard of one 'invoking protection'.. to invoke is to call into one self an outside entity... not a good idea unless you really really really know what you're doing. Most practitioners of the arts (boy I sound granouise there.. sorry).. many practitioners will create of circle of protection for any and all workings.. methods vary.. but it is a good idea for any workings to do so.. even for readings... this helps protect one from outside influences... the lack of doing so.. the open 'invoking' of any or all astral riff raff is why so many spiritualist end up broken and alcoholic.. (no insults intended).. If anybody cares to dissagree, please do and I appologize in advance if I have insulted anyone. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
