] Date Posted: 15/02/07 13:11 In reply to: sweetsong 's message, "course - initiation" on 15/02/07 9:41 I wholeheartedly agree with Wolfie! what is the point of something that is not open to all. i may never be free of my bi polar problems does this rule me out of paganism??? Sweetsong - I realyl do think you ought to take a step back and think about what it is you are looking for. Paganism is such a wide umbrella term... The coven you are looking at above is Wiccan orientated for a start - is this an area of Paganism you are drawn to then? Have you researched? The reason such conditions are in place I expect is down to the fact that a) you'd be working in a group with other people (which has to be a very open and trusting group if it is to work 'properly') therefore psychiatric / psychological conditions DO come in to play and b) if you're attempting to work magic, don't you agree that if you have psychiatric or psychological problems, or are taking medication for such conditions, you may not be in the most ideal state of mind/health. Just my opinions of course.... but if I was working in a group and (especially when you don't even know these people yet) I would NOT be working magic with someone I did not feel was phsyically and mentally able. It would (imo) be potentially dangerous for the person in question, myself and others. In further answer to 'does this rule me out of paganism???' - of course not - again, I feel you may be getting names confused - Wicca is NOT the only aspect of Paganism to look into... and why such a rush to get on with 'magic'? I personally feel that the most important thing for you at the moment is to know yourself. Do not be in such a rush to jump sweetsong... from where I'm sitting it doesn't seem that you have looked to check what you are jumping into. No offense meant sweetsong. :) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 15/02/07 13:54 is terrible - it implies that only if you are mentally healthy can you work with magic. this is terrible since 1 in 5 people experience mental illness in their lives and it does not mean they are going to cause disrpuption to other people. as i have said before as a hindu have worked with magic practices according to the vedas so am not green in this area and know my responsibilities. implying someone who is mentally ill is not mentally able to do magic is horrible and excluding.
