Your first deck shoul AL:>either be one that "calls out" to you in some way, or a gift from someone AL:>with whom you have a spiritual link. The rest is just "practice, man, AL:>practice". What about a deck that a friend showed you that seems to work better for you than for him? Is that a "good deck" for me? Is it that a certain type of deck does not matter, it is the actual, individual deck itself? I really appreciate this. Thanks again. AL:>The "stream-of-consciousness" writing you describe is "officially" called AL:>"automatic writing". Depending on your belief system, it is either AL:>"channeled" messages from AL:>spirits/deities/ghosts/extraterrestrials/etc., or AL:>messages from your AL:>own unconscious and subconscious mind(s).

DR:>It surely wouldn't if you killed him while he was preparing to take another DR:>life (thereby saving his potential victim from whatever torturous fun he ha DR:>planned). A life is a life, right? Who are we to judge someone? If a murderer is in the act of killing someone, or preparing to, is it just to kill him/her? Yes, you save one life, but either way one person is dead. I happen, beleive it or not, to agree with you, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate. :) DR:>Revenge is a bad thing as far as I'm concerned. It takes far greater DR:>strength to turn the other cheek and just say "oh well, what's done is done DR:>and I can't change it, there's no reason to lower myself to his level" than DR:>to hold up a gun to his head and pull the trigger. True... but while it takes greater strength to turn the other cheek, that doesn't keep the same person from killing again. If we all turn the other cheek, Charles Manson would still be at it! DR:>I can understand that if a crazy killed someone you care about, naturally DR:>you'd want revenge (I sure as hell would). But SOMETIMES (not always, DR:>though) revenge is not the way. Agreed.

Crowley is without peer when it comes to scholarship on the subject, and his designs, coupled with Frieda Harris' execution, make explicit many strata of meaning too long implicit in the system. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
