Re: Coven or Solitary???
Life is a series of experiments. I would check them out. There might be a productive interaction of some kind, possible. When I looked at their website, the vibes seemed okay except for one item. When you are a natural born witch (as they say in the Harry Potter stories: someone who is psychically gifted and should resume the shamanic path in this life), I think a very important point to remember is that procrastination, self pity, or indolence may well be the roots of all evil. But, when it comes to hard work, I think that sensitive people who put too much effort and not enough thought into their pursuits usually end up more hurt than they need to be. To me, being a mage certainly means entertaining the idea that working smarter is the goal of life. People who work too hard get burned out and end up with little to show for their efforts. Look how mages dress: silk, velvet, and lace. These are not scullery duds, but the costume for a living opera. Now, becoming good at witchcraft means practice, practice, practice. But, as my Greek professor once said to me, "It's not difficult if you know the material." Once a witch disciplines herself to turn goals into reality every day, work should be a breeze. I have never heard of a jazz musician who really worked hard. But, if it takes ten hours a day to come up to the level of skill necessary for the concert, so mote it be. The best sorcery requires that the practitioner conserve energy that would be wasted in mundane efforts (as Carlos Castaneda's teacher explained to him). Notice how the hero on _The Mentalist_ is always napping on that leather couch? His brain is his primary tool, and he keeps it exercised, rested, and tuned to perfection.
