Guest Speaker
Bonjour, I am the Warlock Theiron Dupre and I am filling in here at Dream Teller's request. The holiday season is a busy time for all and doubly so for Dream Teller. She was called away last Monday to attend a meeting and now she is presently working to find shelter, food, and clothing for some abandoned children. She will most likely be tied up until after Christmas and asked me to send her best wishes to all and that postings to her blog will be delayed.
I will attempt to answer some of the e-mail Kaithlin was unable to attend to last Monday, as she accompanied Dream Teller and is working with her. You will find that I am blunt; sometimes brutally so, for that is my nature. So we begin...
To Tori in Virginia: Life is what it is but there is no excuse for opting out of making decisions simply for the fact that that you don't like the choices you have. Grow up and stop whining for there are many far less fortunate than you.
To Clifton in South Carolina: What I think is that you are playing with fire. According to the information you provided you have no way of knowing what, if anything, is going on in that residence. The fact that the man lives in a remote area and comes and goes at night doesn't mark him as Vampyre. 'Tis a foolish man who takes it upon himself to judge another for those reasons you seem to have taken into your head. 'Tis an even more foolish one who sneaks around private property and stalks an individual who may or may not know what you are about. If he is Vampyre he knows what you are up to and I promise you the worst thing you can do is what you're doing. Leave him be before you either wind up in jail, or worse. If he is Vampyre he is playing with you, biding his time, and depending upon his nature he will either put the fear of God into you or if he is a rogue you can kiss life goodbye. Back off.
To Greta in Georgia: Don't get caught up in the role playing my dear. Mayhap they make it appear exciting but sounds as if things are getting out of hand. As a Witch myself, I can assure you that those sorts of games are extremely dangerous and you don't want to be there should one of their little exercises backfire on them. Those whom they call upon will be all too happy to get their hooks into them and believe me there is no backing out when one reaches that point. The Black Arts aren't fun and games but a highly dangerous proposition to be fooling around with.
To Shenay in Louisiana: Mayhap you should rethink the question. If he requires your complete loyalty without you having any say in the matter I would be the first to caution you on that point alone. Take care he doesn't separate you from family and friends for I'm thinking he is more into abuse than love. No man worth his salt should demand that his woman do as he says, without question. As to whether or not he is a Warlock, I have no way of knowing but if he is, according to the information you provided he is not one you want to deal with. Warlocks are, as a matter of course, blunt, aggressive, and somewhat aloof but those of us who hold sway with the path of right do not try to bend others to our will; not even Outsiders such as yourself. Take care he is not just telling you he is Warlock to beef up his image.
To Donna in Washington: Depends upon what you wish to achieve. Covens provide one with support and a sense of belonging with one's own Kind. The Witch who goes his or her own way is responsible only to self and that is the way I prefer to practice my craft. However, I do assist certain Covens when I'm needed, as I can, and thus I have the best of both worlds but for the most part I prefer going my own way. Ask yourself what your needs are; what price you place upon your privacy, whether you can work within a group or if you are at your best, alone. You might wish to consider the Coven's laws before you make any iron-clad commitment. Some are extremely rigid where others allow a certain amount of freedom for it's members to work with. Either way, it has to be what works best for you.
To Lane in Texas: A Warlock is a male Witch but it is the degree of skill and power which sets him apart from other male Witches. Most Warlocks come into their own in their mid to late twenties but there are some who recognize their path earlier on, some later on. A Master Warlock is one who has attained great skill and power over time and through much intense study and refinement of his craft. There are only a few Masters the world over and only five in the United States, although there are some who claim that status with nothing to back it up but their mouths and egos. Warlocks often find themselves the 'hunted' for there are always those young males who wish to make a name for themselves by taking out a particularly powerful, well-known Warlock. But the Masters face the greatest danger, for they are feared for their power and skills by other Kinds as well as their own. Of those five, two practice the Black Arts and are considered extremely dangerous by their peers, as well as all Witches. If you visit this site on a regular basis you have heard from one of the Masters; one of the best and most powerful, Gregory. I 've enjoyed a long and pleasurable friendship with Gregory and I find him to be one of the most honorable of his Kind.
To Tate in Michigan: 'Tis most difficult for a Witch and an Outsider to forge a lasting relationship but it can be done. Being the Outsider, you will find, of necessity, that you must give over more than she will. The Witch's life requires of her many unusual things, not the least of which is loyalty to her way of life. You must be the kind of man who can allow her to go where she must, do as she as must, and support her rather than question her or throw up roadblocks. If you haven't an even temperament, a willingness to give her freedom, and a love for her strong enough to withstand jealousy of her time and cohorts then such a relationship cannot survive. By the fact that you question the type of relationship I would assume that you don't know her ways and I suggest that the two of you sit down and lay things out, clearly, before you jump into something more serious.
To Bethany in New York: Young lady, the streets of your city are littered with the very young who are seeking to make their own way, and few make it. No matter how you look at it, fifteen is a child and aye, 'tis a hard age but the problems you've stated can be overcome without running away from home. I come to New York fairly often and I've seen what happens to young girls on their own. If the street pimps don't get you, other predators will. Dark allies, crack houses, bad neighborhoods with every kind of predator one can imagine are all out there waiting for you; the innocent who thinks she has it so bad. Stay home where you are safe and sound and talk things out with your parents, or go to your school counselor, minister, or someone who will have your best interests at heart. Think before you act and take it from me, life on the street makes your problems look good. Take care.
Happy, safe holidays to all of you.
