Never Mind
Back in Fort Mac. The weekend went entirely too quickly for my liking. I spent some of it putting up baseboards in the bedroom (until I started getting angry and Diane took my saw away), saw Fantastic Four, which was better than I thought it would be and at the same time, not as good as I'd hoped. Oh, and I solved my keyboard problem. The only thing now is that I have a little american flag on the top right of my toolbar. Fuckin' americans.I was on the road for four hours today, thinking, listening to the music in my head, plotting and scheming. I had an interesting discussion (because all of the conversations in my head are interesting) about magic as energy. Magic is not one form of energy, I concluded, but several; there are varying types of life magics, that come from the green, growing things, as well as mental magics, that come from the will. But there is also inanimate magic, found in stones and water. I have to explore and develope this a little, but I thought it was worth noting.
I've also formed a sort of peace with Tali and Trynn. I've decided that both are willfull, and conflicting, but both have purpose. I've also come to the conclusion that having secrets is a good thing; power in perception. Having said that, I'm having a pretty good day. I got my bog oak runes, I brought some new books for which to read and research, and I'm content.

welcome back :) and I'm really happy you're able to make progress with Tali.
Me too. She's there for a reason, as I've said, and I have accepted her as a part of a larger whole. That's my new thing; the details as they affect everything, not as wholes themselves.
well I hope you indulge me in some more on this topice :D
It's rather silly and simple actually. I've been concerntrating on the parts of my mind, the 5, as seperate parts, individual and sharing a space. And though I've been trying to find a harmonious balance for them, I'd never looked at it from a "whole" perspective. They are unique, each with his/her own ambitions, goals, and drives, but more important than the individuals is the community they create (ie: my entire mind), the space they flourish in together. I touched on it a long time ago (it seems, anyhow) when I said "I am the fortress". I am that place in which they all exist, harmonious or not. So, no more ignoring, hindering or otherwise hampering the individals. Each has a place, and that place is me.
It came about when I was thinking about magic. We use plants, stones, water, etc for different magical effects, each necessary, and each with it's own energies and attributes :)
I think that's great. you need to explain the magic part in depth.
I'm still working on tht one too. So far all I've come up with is that there are different magical energies that have different... frequencies (for lack of a better word). Alot of what I've been reading focuses on visualization, but there's more. Visualization is only one type of magic, a projection of will. I believe that finding different sources will bring a more complete, more potent magic. Elemental magics, for example have differents properties, and therefore a different magic. Divination, for a better example (because I'm very curious about oracular magic), has different types, some of which work better for some people than others: water scrying, runes (wooden and/or stone), tarot, crystal gazing, trances, etc. All seperate systems that use different energies for the same purpose.
On a side note, for the passed week, I've predicted the rune I've pulled before I drew it. Interesting, I thought.
