Magick and Timing

"Some days, magick is having enough experience to read the patterns around you so that you can put yourself in the right place at the right time. When you follow a master magician around, you start to notice that the Universe seems to order itself in front of them, "magickally." But it's not occult. It's entirely practical. When you know the sky well enough to read the weather days ahead of time, pulling an umbrella out of nowhere appears like magick to others, but simply seemed like prudent planning to the magician."

Oh, you mean like that whole "letting things go their own way" thing?

Not really. Just being able to see the way things are going and arranging to point in such a way as to give the impression that I directed it. :)

And I thought you said you weren't going to backread.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well.

Only on important stuff. Didn't want to raise anybody else's expectations, you know.

FYI: I did finish up the nine virtues, if that's something you'd care to look over. It's not necessary, but it's always good to know you're headed in the right direction. It's in the same post; I just edited it with the additions. It's not meticulously edited yet.

I'd like to start the book report ASAP. Do you have a copy of Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles or know where I can locate one? That would be greatly appreciated.

And getting La Greca out of the house might be a good thing. I feel okay now, but after a day back at school, my voice is shot to hell again. I'm fine as long as I don't talk . . .
