Interesting, for I have never been able to equate the Druidism I was taught with either Neodruidry or paganism, really. We believe that real magic is the ability to transform ourselves (the only thing we can really change), and to connect mindfully with Creation. Manipulative magic is forbidden on my Path... Nor do we share the typical pagan concept of Creation or of the Gods...<BR/><BR/>Sorry, you've got me thinking about this again, which is why I wrote. To say thank you, and as you already know, you are not really 'lost' at all, though embracing clarity can sometimes feel like that, can't it? It's all part of the experience of the journey, as they say.<BR/><BR/>MorgaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913983186432092994.post-8804952231368512432007-09-23T01:47:00.000-07:002007-09-23T01:47:00.000-07:00You could be right Yvonne.

Did you see my post on the game of snakes and ladders that is the <A HREF="http://nemeton.blogspot.com/2007/09/spiritual-journey.html" REL="nofollow">spiritual journey</A>? Many Wiccans that I know have moved beyond the "results magic" approach to a more mystical understanding. <BR/><BR/>Remember that your journey to where you are now has not been wasted; perhaps there was something in it that you needed to experience to get to where you are now - maybe you couldn't have got to where you are now without going through the "results magic" phase. I realised this when reading a Christian blog and noting that its author went through a "results prayer" phase! I've also met older Christians who are stuck in a "results prayer" phase.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913983186432092994.post-16432664148630022692007-09-10T11:30:00.000-07:002007-09-10T11:30:00.000-07:00Thoroughly agree love.As we have said before I thi...Thoroughly agree love.As we have said before I think it's no coincidence that most people who discover magic are more often than not 17 and filled with that feeling of powerlessness that comes with being 17 (I include myself amongst this number) but as we grow and gain our own locus of control we stop needing the sense of personal power that the idea of magic brings. I think it's extremely telling that the vast number of older practicioners of magic still seem to be developmentally stuck in someway at that awful teenage stage. Thank goodness we got out love! xxxxxxxxxxxJustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234304828891285202noreply@blogger.com
