Off the Books

I would like to share some things with you that I have learned on my path. They are about life, magic, and how the two can go together. Perhaps this is meant primarily for those who are currently on their own, unable to really share their experiences. How do you know if you aren't just kidding yourself?

• Prophetic dreams are totally possible.
• One is powerful by moving through power. Anyone who wants claim to power must realize that they are not powerful, the power is. This helps eliminate grandiose delusions.
• Love spells are not meant to be directed towards an individual. They can be used to draw general love towards you.
• It is possible and likely that you will end up separating your mind from your body.
• You must not think that all your spells will work. IF you fail, perhaps the higher powers have a different idea as they can see much more than you.
• You must resist the temptation to publicly cast out of spite. It can have devastating consequences and will draw the hatred of close minded individuals, not to mention ruin your reputation and defame your name.
• Tools don't give you any power, you give the tools power.
  
• There are ways to learn things without reading a book (or a blog)
  
• The most powerful magic is selfless love.
• Witchcraft is what one does, it is not a religion, but a system of thought. Religion can be simultaneously observed however...

I hope this helps someone out there. I remember wishing there was more stuff like this out there, practical wisdom. I have come to find that practical wisdom is harder to come by than knowledge itself.
