What a grea...Dang Alan, you phabulous philosopher! What a great post! The “Harm none” and “be kind to others” points are so well made and need repeating periodically, unfortunately. The parting shot was excellent: “Go meditate or something”; so much better than “go jump in the lake”.<br /><br />And thank you for this thought: “we MUST remember that if our thoughts can change reality then we must be more responsible for the changes we make in our own lives through self-talk”. I think it’s imperative to realize that there are reactions – psychologic AND energetic – to all our actions, great and small, and to try to tip the balance of our actions toward healing/growth/clarity and away from damage/turmoil/apathy. Thanks for the reminder. I think I’ll go meditate or something. :-D<br />Tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073273028858540154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062976838991831778.post-45006055296591730372012-08-08T23:08:55.979-07:002012-08-08T23:08:55.979-07:00Heya, Alan! I have that same complaint about the ...Heya, Alan! I have that same complaint about the elemental correspondences for the athame and the wand. In the Tarot, the Wand is Fire and the Swords are Air. Sounds good, except that many authors reference them in the reverse, and I can see why: when I use the athame to cast the circle, I channel energy through it by visualizing light (which is Fire); when I use the wand to focus a verbalized intention, then I am using the power of Air. Or is it Fire when my will is added to the intent? Right. I totally get the confusion.<br /><br />Years ago, I would have been totally rigid about needing it to be one way or the other and would have felt threatened by anyone having a different opinion. Now, I just tap into my intuitive side and ask the tool itself where it wants to be placed -- usually it all works out. :-)DeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591524563197181806noreply@blogger.com
