haven't had the opportunity to try human but if it were available I wouldn't turn it down! haha i think i chose it because me and my boyfriend are always talking about how we would try it if we ever had the chance. i dont eat babies or n e thing a :)
I am a new student, and I hear a lot about dragons and the craft. I was wondering about the symbolism and the significance. I thought you could enlighten me a bit with the history because you seem drawn to them.
asatru is the religion of northern europeans before christianity. It's thousands of years old and was around before almost any other religion. Asatru roughly means "belief in gods". It may also be known as Odinism. Odin is the god of all the gods and men...The Allfather. For more info you can google it or go to your local library.
Merry Meet! I was born into a family that was open to exploration and questioned everything. My parents are both spiritually attuned (mom is psychic and dad is a healer) and they raised me and my siblings to be open while figuring out what we each perceive as truth. I started doing astrological charts when I was 10 (and not with a computer program), I studied Native American Shamanism in my early teens and was always in tune with animals and nature. My sister and I began working together in what I later realized to be a slant toward the wiccan ways in my late teens. About 15 years ago I started formal training in the Craft and through the years became a Priestess with a wonderful group of women and men. I believe strongly in the ebb and flow of energy . . . the cycles and seasons of all things . .. and eventually my teaching and training had to take a different path. I no longer work with groups for magickal purposes although I attend rituals now and then. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from books but I attained wisdom from listening to my inner self. I needed the books, and classes and other people in my life, however, to help lend direction and focus to my inner thoughts . . . therefore, I do recommend a combination of all things. Use all the tools. Ad Red Bard indicated, Scott Cunningham materials are great (the ones written before he passed away. . .not so much the ones written by others who use his notes and name). I am a strong believer in KNOW THYSELF... what kind of "learner" are you? If you need a workbook type of direction, the SilverRavenWolf' "To Stir a Magick Cauldron" is a great way to start. If you need anthropological info, read Drawing Down the Moon. Flip through the books and see what feels right to you. Not all books will have all the information . . . nor will all authors. Some books may be 90% crap but have 10% of info that you can't find anywhere else and that turns you on to other thoughts and avenues. Anyway, I've rambled too long I'm sure...enjoy your explorations!
I began by learning from another woman in college. I used to practice a little magick before I met her. But then we worked together, and she taught me a lot. As for books for beginners, I would probably recomment any book by Scott Cunningham. I became interested in magicks because my family used herbs so much. I then found out some of the magical properties, aside from the healing ones. Just take it one step at a time, then elaborate on what you learn. You start gaining power fast. Just use it for good, of course.
Best, Red Bard
