I've always wanted to hear stories of successful spells that have been casted, and how they played out in the long run. what did you cast? what for? what'd were the results? good or bad in the long run?
when i was about 17 my friend had a white Wicca spell book. One of the spells was a love knot spell. If I can remember correctly it required a white scarf or piece of fabric that you wore. I remember you had to concentrate on the person whom you were casting on- building up your energy and just when you would feel as if you would burst you would tie a knot. I did it several times on the scarf and then put it in a drawer. I had a relationship with the person for about 2 years after that, a very passionate yet volatile relationship. I did untie the knot at some point and we subsequently broke up. Not sure if it was the spell or just natures way
What did you cast: cure or cura What for: my party was getting it's ass kicked What were the results: the spell recovered some of my party's health Good or bad in the long run: good, I kicked that bosses ass :2thumbsup:
... who was the subject of the spell? if you are working a love spell directly on someone, there's an ethical problem with altering the subjects free will (which would explain the instability of the spell). I recently (read "this summer") cast a money spell. a few weeks later I got a job at a haunted attraction in a genuinely haunted building. it was awesome.
I think rationality is a rare gift that is only given through the magic of genetics...tho it grows with nurturing.
Genetics!? You talk like a madman. Lie down...somebody get this man some crystals in here, come on move, move, move!
Code red... I do have a degree in biochemistry, my dear Fingermouse. :2thumbsup: Anyway I spared you from my thoughts regarding the limitations of rationality...but I could go ahead and pontificate on them, if you push me...
I'd love to get a sciencey degree, but I've always had a mental block with anything vaguely mathematical, and numbers always seem to come in somewhere. *tap*
And YET, Fingermouse my dear, even though you don't see and experience the reality of mathematical concepts for yourself, I'll BET you still believe in them...is this not so?
That depends entirely on what you mean by "believe in" them. I know they exist. I see people using mathematics and when it is carefully explained in terms more suited to a literary thinker I understand how they work and how they are useful. I see that they are methods of measurement of objects in the world around us and how they can help mathematical thinkers to make sense of it. Mathematicians would argue that I DO experience the reality of mathematical concepts just by being alive. My brain, with its block in that area (which I've come to accept) can only see numbers as a tool and nothing more. I have 13 books on the second shelf of the bookcase next to me. I can touch each one. There are seven shelves. By using a calculator, I can know that that means there are roughly 91 books on there without having to count them all, as they are all a similar size.
