I have met alot of 'magicians' with much better memory than others whom, even though of limited literacy, were of enormous superiority in both ethical stature and practice.<br /><br />To encourage each student to develop their magical gifts to the best of their ability so that they can take a pivotal role within an evolving humanity. To the best of my ability is the best I can do and having entered occultism in my 50s and already wounded by life I know that can only go so <br />far...which in some aspects such as awareness and compassion is very far. This unique qualieties <br />aren't seen and advanced when all you need to do is to memorize a vast intellectual curriculum writen<br /> in 'thou'form.<br /><br />To develop a scientific and individualist approach to magic. <br />Obsevable and original...measurable in both inner transformation and healing effects in the world.<br /><br />Sorry I diverted a bit but this is my understanding of your words and I hope It realtes to what you want to advance.<br />Thanks Nick <br />I am seeking, have been seeking for a while for teachings that help me reach my full potential.<br /> I have met wonderful teachers. (Kind, empathetic and with deep wisdom and understanding of my needs(I continue ot work with them). I have also met megalomaiacs, self serving narcissists using the occult to draw the living juice out of worshippers (I stay weeelll away from this) <br />I will definitly read what you have to offer as It rings a nice bell(a gong actually)inside me.<br />Wish you the best.<br />Thanks for your work.<br />Chelohekatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131736497728994174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458080909001903011.post-14536621900857902102013-12-22T23:13:23.727+01:002013-12-22T23:13:23.727+01:00One of the things I am glad about with being in an...One of the things I am glad about with being in an Order that doesn't have Golden Dawn in its title is that people don't expect us to be classical Golden Dawn and it leaves us room to grow and develop our system in a direction that is not a pure copy of the traditional GD, but rather a building on, and an evolution from, the later form of the GD known as the Stella Matutina and, later, as Smaradum Thalasses.Soror SDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326275677269142256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458080909001903011.post-39394581079914957552013-12-21T22:28:02.561+01:002013-12-21T22:28:02.561+01:00Congratulations Nick & Good Luck. :)Congratulations Nick & Good Luck. :)Finian Heaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352572737478687971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458080909001903011.post-14097147809659919122013-12-21T13:12:21.874+01:002013-12-21T13:12:21.874+01:00Welcome to the 21st century.

The pettiness, ego, and sexism I have seen in closed orders that push hard with either christian dogma, mindless cult behavior or sex has been a thorn in my side and has chased me out in basic self defence from orders I would likely do well in as a single, white christian male.MsDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458080909001903011.post-10571709719657140912013-12-20T14:14:59.452+01:002013-12-20T14:14:59.452+01:00Congratulations, Nick!

I've been through this myself in my Wiccan period, when we defined and separated out the California Gardnerian line.
