Day One... Again
So I have started again… yet again I should say. On a guided path, though this time it’s a bit different, for one I have gained at least some discipline (at least until I move and my retain must change though I’m working on making accommodations for that as well.) and have been saying my prayers/affirmations/beads every morning after showering and making my bed, and just to stay myself and to give my self some wiggle room I sometimes go back to sleep for about an hour after that.
But back to the guided path, it has come to my attention may times over that it is very difficult for me to teach myself anything without jumping around like a crazed jakalope or dropping it completely like an ADD amputee. And so I resumed my search for some kind of book or project or group that could guide me in a lesson plan of some kind in order to build my foundations further. In the past I have scoffed at many potentially good books do to there Wiccan influences, but I have gone past that now and have found what looks to be a very promising series that I agree with very much (so far) and feel conferrable with and driven to use. This is the “Temple of Witchcraft” series by Penczak
I had seen the books many times before and put them aside do primarily to the name as well as the obvious Wiccan influences, but when I saw the third book dedicated to the shamanic witch I decided to flip threw the pages and became enamored in the concept. He dose not encourage and I do not plan on taking him at his every word and becoming initiated in his or anyone else’s tradition, its all a personal journey and the books are meant only to educate and build a foundation biased on what is right to you.
Many advertise the same but I feel that few deliver, but I have a good feeling about this one and though I had planed on skipping the first two I picked them up yesterday after what felt like quite a few insistent nudges. And as yesterday was the New Moon I decided to start then and after reading the prefix I again am excited and ready to start. I also decide that I liked the ritual offered at the beginning to affirm to myself and the Gods my intentions on taking on this path/study plan. He also strongly suggests that people keep a personal journal and a book of shadows “eye roll” but I will do my best.
I thought a lot about it and finally maid the decision to keep my journal online or on my computer because I type better then I write and the internet won’t be going down anytime soon (knock on wood) and I can always back date entrees when I don’t have computer access and have to write something out on paper or a napkin or my skin or something off the wall like that. As for the BoS… I have a notebook for that but that is one thing I’m still not sure I’ll stick with, though again I will do my best.
Until next I write…
