You have helped me explorer parts of my craft that I would have never found without your insights. These ideas have creep-ed into the group I work with. So thanks. First off I live by the age old adage that "if you meet the Buddha on the road kill him". We don't need gurus. Thanks for being real. The next thing I live by is 'I don't expect everyone to like me, in fact I would think less of myself if some people did". People that have formed an opinion of you without meeting you means that they are practicing what I call contempt prior to investigation. Keep up the good work. You have helped a lot of us find the true practitioner in us.

Unfortunately whe...loquacious - I love this word. <br /><br />Unfortunately when you put yourself, or rather, find yourself in a position of leader or 'knowledgeable expert', there are people who are going to be negative. Unlike others in the Pagan community, I've found you to not be pushing an agenda, believing your own hype or trying to turn yourself into a "guru". You're very straight forward and I enjoy your work. <br /><br />The Pagan community, while wonderful to have, does on occasion breed jealousy, pettiness and a sense of ownership over certain ideals. It's become an issue but I don't consider you part of that. It's always interesting to hear the negative and understand its origin and point, but I think dwelling on negativity by people who don't know you is not a wise course of action.<br /><br />I would certainly just ignore them. Unless they have an actual and valid point or problem, it is just others trying to make themselves appear better or less insecure.The Country Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475878098670922278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413290305270924651.post-35852487555256102912014-02-03T05:13:36.548-08:002014-02-03T05:13:36.548-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Daniel Efosa Uyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207528724158754856noreply@blogger.com
