The power is neutral. It cannot be divided into positive and negative energies. Power is power.

Read as much as you can, discarding negative or disturbing information. Learn by doing, and the Goddess and God will bless you with all that you truly need.

The magic begins in you. Feel your own energy, and realize similar energy exists within the Earth, stones, plants, water, wind, fire, colores, and animals.

If you would be a magician, honor the Earth. Honor life. Love. Know that magic is the birthright of every human being, and wisely use it.

Honor all living things, for we are of the stag, and the salmon, and the bee; so destroy not life, save it be to preserve your own.

Magic is our birthright...and should be available to all who wish to utilize it as a tool of personal transformation.

Magic is natural. It is a harmonious movement of energies to create a needed change. If you wish to practice magic, all thoughts of it being paranormal or supernatural must be forgotten.

Call upon the Goddess and God to protect you and teach you the secrets of magic. Ask stones and plants to reveal their powers - and listen.

We are not on this planet to ask forgiveness of our deities.

Books can lift our spirits, heal our wounds, steel our courage and strengthen our religious resolve.

Magic is love. All magic should be performed out of love. The moment anger or hatred tinges your magic, you have crossed the border into a dangerous world, one that will ultimately consume you.

There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country & whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink.

Very little mathematics has direct applications - though fortunately most of it has plenty of indirect ones.

I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.

Maybe she was drunk - the woman never could drink. One little sniff of tequila and she was off into some blonde la-la land.

If the beard gives a modifier to seduction, I'm guessing it's not a positive one.

We're not completely happy here because we're not supposed to be!

And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me!
