I should be asleep, but the thought of this post has been keeping me awake, so making this post seemed the fastest way to get it out of my system.

These are entries that murstein" has commented on, that cause him to believe I might need Seidhkona training. You're welcome to look around, ask questions, and e-mail. If you decide I'm not suited for that sort of training, no hard feelings but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I don't know, necessarily, about training as a seiðkona; that requires steeping you in our particular cultural context (that's not "no", that's "when a path requires cultural context, it is not rude to require acculturation").
However, I have read the two posts in question, as well as their commentaries (and hey, murstein, thanks for the props, happy to be a non-crackpot to you ( ... )

Investigating the culture should be a given, shouldn't it? I assume that there are things I won't understand unless I've got some knowledge of the culture. At very least, how'm I'm going to understand what you're saying if I don't know the language?
Right now the itch is pretty slight. I don't know if that's because working nights is draining me, or if it's cyclic and the cycle's at an ebb right now. At any rate, while it feels like time is short, there still is some.
I'll do that seeking and see who/what I can sense.
And thank you for the compliment.

Just so! I merely wanted it stated up front that I couldn't give you that easily or swiftly.

*nod* Well, right now, we're gathering intelligence.

Just yet, I wouldn't even personalize it that much. It might spook it. Less looking at a rock in the stream and more trying to deduce the shape of the rock by the ripples it makes in the current.
Make sense?

And now, in contrast to all that sage advice, a moment of good-natured bitching:
Gods, don't you just hate it when they won't...stop...NUDGING!? Won't leave a message like reasonable people, oh nooooooo...

Reasonable people don't hang on trees for nine days and nights. Not by choice, anyway. Nor, in any extremity short of battle, trade an eye, no matter what the return.
Although I expect you get that far more than me. I'm not sure if that means I'm better at naturally doing what They want, or they just have lower expectations.

*dark chortle* What he tells me on that score is "I'm always reasonable." If I can't work out his logic, that's my problem (and may also be his, depending on the situation).

There are questions it's better not to ask. ;)
