I think the Wicca philosophy for life is wonderful, "Do as you please, as you want, so long as you do not harm yourself, or others." You need to have a pretty strong belief system and a well defined set of values to live by it. It can be interpreted differently by those who use it, therefore it's not going to work for everyone. It is taking me a long time to reach the ability to do this, I've been striving everyday for years; a real challenge keeps you motivated!!

I'm pretty young and i dont know a whole lot, but to have no fear, to strive to help others, and to be at peace and stillness in your own mind, are worth more than any amount of material wealth, really.

Some people say that the world is controlled by a minute few, very rich, little known, almighty powerful people. They are shape shifting lizards in suits, who live off the emotion of fear, and need humans as their slaves. Whether this is true or not is highly debatable!! But I hope it is, as I can never understand the motivation behind our most powerful leaders and the decisions they make concerning human life and the environment. If they are reptiles motivated by sheer greed and lust for power I can kind ofunderstand where they're coming from, otherwise their reasoning is completely lost on me.

Drugs are the worst thing in the world and the best thing in the world. A dychotomy, like most things in life, completely simple in its complexity.

We are so technologically advanced it is a wonder, but our ignorance and lack of empathy concerning our fellow human beings rivals that of our cavemen ancestors, most of the time.

I find that if you wear sandals as much as possible your overall perspective on life becomes more chilled back, relaxed and calm. Free your feet!!

I have seen far too many coincidences and patterns in scrying tools; tarot cards, crystal balls, pendulums etc., to dismiss their uncanny ability to tap into the unconcious mind, and to allow a reader to consciously analyse the information given.

Everyone is the same but also very different. Each has his own ability and stength to cope with what life throws their way. Therefore I think it's important to keep this in mind when dealing with folk and their problems. Do not judge another against yourself, each lives within her own context.

Everything in life is energy. How you use or ignore this power is completely up to you. If you harness this energy for positives and redirect it back into the universe, in a very short period you will start to see some very special, amazing results.

Television is probably the most pointles activity one can immerse themselves in. It is a cheap (and effective) means to control the masses, it wears down one's intellect, and it turns people into slobs. I know because I used to watch it eight hours a day. I haven't watched TV for a few years now, no advertisements invade my space, tis bliss!! All you need to do is unplug your arial, and get a dvd player, all the best movies and quality shows are available on disc, sorted!!

And as for the news. . . buy a paper, that isn't owned by supervillain (lizard) Rupert Murdoch.

As the old maxim gos: "All energy follows thought." If you project fear, paranoia, and restriction, these forces will enter and control your life. On the other hand, if you fill your head with love, joy, and freedom . . .well the sky is the limit, for sure! I know it sounds corny but it works.

Giving up smoking is the hardest, yet most liberating thing I've ever done. It took years to accomplish, but worked eventually. If you feel theinclination, go for it, you have the power!!!
