Nothing amiss...
Bonjour mes amies.
This morning I will post Dream Teller's answers to some of your e-mails. But let me first say this to those of you who responded to last mornings quote and inquired if it was a cryptic message meant for someone specific. As Dream Teller is wont to say: "Take away from it what you will." I will tell you that Dream Teller has the gift for delivering messages in many and varied ways; some so subtle as to appear crytic to some (but obvious to those meant to take note), and others so blatant the message cannot be misconceived. Her latest quote is what it is -a quote.
As you come to know her better you will discover she is possessed of a mind never still, even when at rest. Her thoughts take may fashions; quotes, poetry, musings, considerations, and such, many of which find their way onto paper. As she goes about her business, at the end of the day her desk is littered with them. I have learned much from those, as have others, and as her assistant I make it my business to rescue discarded bits and pieces that go into a specific file for safe-keeping. Such was the case of the last post; a quote birthed during a particular meeting on some specific research the alliance was engaged in. She is often surprised to discover she has put such thoughts to paper, even as her mind was otherwise engaged.
Those closest to her have let her know the value we find in the thoughts one often finds squashed and tossed aside, or doodled in the margins of a report, letter of inquiry, and so on. Aye: "take away what you will" but take care not to miss the value of it for looking for what is not intended. Know that if she sends a cryptic message meant for someone specific it is for their benefit, while you receive the value intended for you.
And now to our e-mail:
To Trevor in Ohio: Aye, and there are those Outsiders capable of learning the craft but it has been my experience that those have hidden gifts they are unaware of or pretend to be unaware of, for various reasons. So it is not that they learn 'Majic' but that they were already possessed of certain majical abilities that surface during the course of their studies. Witchcraft is a religion defined by ceremonies and rites particular to that religion and those Outsiders who study the religion are oft found to be descendants of the Witch. It is that which prompts them to experience the need to understand the craft. 'Tis the ancient blood running through their veins that sometimes leads the true Witch to seek the student; practicioners of White Majic in their effort to prevent the student from seeking wrong paths, practicioners of Black Majic in their effort to control them and bring them into the dark realm. Take care whom you associate with, for glib are the deceivers who would lead you astray.
To AJ in Iraq: Blessings to one of our finest; soldier and protector of our freedom. I am pleased that you found your way to my forum, as it is my wish to reach all who share an interest in our alliances goal to bring about understanding and acceptance of all Kinds. Would that all understood the value of those who are a wealth of the knowledge most fear to tap. Aye, and you are correct that there is more than a mere book in the works, here. My novels are tools which serve many purposes; two of which are entertainment for those who seek only entertainment, knowledge for those who wish to learn. One of the many obstacles that stand in the way of acceptance is one's inability to place certain Kinds in modern society and thus, to grasp that they run up against many of the same, everyday problems as the rest of us face. Other Kinds have need of care, nurture, love, and the like and that some seek those with mortals who are of kindred spirit is at best, difficult for others to conceive of. It is much like prejudice in other areas; racial, religious, gender, to name a few. I appreciate your offer of assistance and as I suspect there is more than the blood of the Outsider runs through your veins, mayhap we will court your assistance when the need arises. Those whom we bring into the fold will receive a personal response apart from this message. Blessed May You Be.
To Willow in Delaware: 'Tis for our visitors' safety that last names and specific cities are not published with my responses.
To Raven in Louisiana: Your message has been forwarded to the Warlock Gregory. Be assured that he takes you seriously and will handle what necessitates handling. Fear not to continue to worship at your church for there you are safe. The one of whom you speak may be no more than a visitor but that is not for you to question. Do not approach him for many is the time such a visitor merely seeks safe haven or a place to think and learn and has no wish to be approached. Follow your instincts as you have done in the past and your kindness and concern speak well of you. Stay safe.
To Drey in Virginia: Moon lore abounds so it is not surprising you find it difficult to understand all. It is a symbol of mystic significance and its phases and path are linked to the planting and harvesting of crops, harvesting the sea, earth-tide, religious ceremonial rites, and the changing of certain life forms. Like the sun it rises in the east and sets in the west but unlike the sun, the size and shape of the moon continually change. Four cycles, approximately seven days each, total the lunar month. Following the dark of the moon appears the first crescent (new moon) which 'waxes' (grows larger) to the first quarter (visible as the half-moon then three-quarter). As the moon waxes, its horns point east until it reaches full moon. On the 'wane' the moon diminishes in size and the horns point west until no moon is seen at all. The moons horns have prompted much speculation of themselves, as does what is known as the 'Blood' moon but those are for another time. Here is an old rhyme for you: A new moon rises with the sun, Its waxing half at midday shows, The full moon climbs at sunset hour, And waning half the midnight knows.
To Heather in Georgia: The 'still point' has been called many things; other reality, mystic experience, ecstatic union, and Jung termed it "a remarkable instance of exaltation". Plotinus (philosopher) of the third century A. D. is said to have called it "a flight of the alone to the Alone". The latter suits, for the still point is sought by the solitary, for it requires much patience and practice to achieve. So say, once achieved it is never lost. The discipline is rewarding as it centers the being and brings about spiritual peace and strength.
Blessed May You Be, Kaithlin
