Anywhere there's war, pestilence, poverty, crime, children are being killed. Does the fact that these victims of the Oklahoma City bombing made it to national (and probably world-wide) television deserve them more revenge? I think you should be worried about more than just those children....did you feel the same way when the government attacked the Branch Davidian's stronghold in Texas? Defenseless children were killed then, too. -- Pope Erik Arneson I, High Priest of the Church of Eris of the Eclectic Sponge Bearer of the Holy Plastic Banana.

We need to put this in perspective. Fewer people died in that bombing than died in an average plane accident... and yet it is a major news story? Only the fact that it is the latest in domestic terrorism (or whatever label you subscribe to this week) makes it "medializable". The Pope is quite correct. I have participated in two wars and several "advisory capacities"; I have (unfortunately) seen far more than that go back on the Wheel at one time. He is correct in noting that many die before their "appointed time" every day despite the attempts of some to avoid it. I feel for those who died there (a friend of mine was one of the recruiters based there), but do not let us go wild because of it. Celebrate their return to the Wheel, and remember that life itself goes on despite any pitiful attempts of ours to change that. "There's a destiny that shapes our fates, roughhew them as we will." My regards to you and yours.... LORD WART. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Divine Madwoman Area: MagickNet To: Doug Nelson 6 May 95 10:22:00 Subject: Wu Magic UpdReq DN> Does anyone have any info or references on the Chinese magical DN>tradition known as Wu magic. (Thats all I know, research for a friend :) Pretty slim clue! :) I'm wracking my brains here, cuz I can't find a direct reference, but isn't there such a thing as the Dancing Wu Li Masters? If I'm remembering this correctly, then my best educated guess is that Wu magic would have to do with working with the primal forces (represented by the yin and yang symbol).

This is something I've been wanting to know for a long time. How do you use magical energy? How do you know where it is? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
