Emotional Influences

[The Bookwyrm]

That's the plan. I'm thinkging it might be in my best interest to try and channel anything excess towards something positive instead of just leaving it to build up. 3nodding

Allright, let us know if it works ^.^

Or on the other hand, this very line of reasoning might provoke a subconscious filter of optimism on everything. Unless this post brings that out of the subconscious and dispells it. So now you have to consciously put that back into the subconscious and consciously forget it... ninja

Our emotional side is one aspect of our three sides: Mental, Emotional, and Physical (or 4, if you include Spiritual.) We need all the sides to be balanced. Without that, casting spells would be like trying to launch a model rocket off of a ball: it may go straight up, but the slightest change in condition, and WHAM! You got a rocket stuck in your gut, or someone around you. sweatdrop

LOL! I love that!

And Seraph- so all we need to do is to subconsciously conscience the subconscious and... er... hang on, I'll get it... ^_^'

Exam on a Saturday? Ouch. How did it go?  

[The Bookwyrm]

Awesome, actually. This is the third Celtic literature course I've ever taken, and I have come to one conclusion: I am the Queen of Celtic Lit! Either the memory of these stories is just in my blood, or they're so strange I simply can't forget them. I only have one more to get through before I can take off home for the break.

Mmmmm... Someone else's cooking... *drool*

It seems I'm like that for analysis of literature. All the meanings just sink into my brain. I never take notes, and do better than people who do.

And I can bullshit as well! Hehe, 100% on a midterm on a movie I only saw half of.

I'm not that good, and none of this is analyzation. It's simply remembering the stories, keeping the characters straight, and being able to produce information from the texts from memory. Pretty simple stuff, really. wink

Ah. I don't know to many. Just the ones about the Morrigan and CuChuchulain(sp?), Cerridwen and the first bard, and a little bit about Rhiannon and Pwyll.

We'll have a pow wow some day, and I can tell you lots. We can do stories on Fionn MacCumhaill, CuChulainn, The King's Cycle, Tuath de Danann stories, Irish folk tales, a few more Welsh Myths, and jump into King Arthur. Heck, I can give you the run down of the Tain Bo (Cattle raid of Cooley) wink

I'd like to find out some more about the Tuatha de Danaan, for two main reasons.

1. The sidhe tend to feature a lot in some of my stories.
2. the Morrigan used to be my patron Goddess, and I'd want to find out more about the race She used to rule.

I was sent a link that led me to a completely trnascibed text of "The Faerie Faith in the Celtic Countries" or something along those lines. heard of it? Here's the link.

No, I hadn't heard of it. It's been something I've been meaning to look into, but I think the book I found and had hoped was going to be decent on faerie magick turned out to be written by a nutter. sweatdrop Thanks for the link!  

[Nihilistic Seraph]

My pleasure. I know the feeling about books like that though. I had picked up this one on Astral Projection. And I'm reading it going "yeah, so I'm supposed to create a Watcher out of Astral matter, send it about to spy for me, then absord it back into my being, and thu gain all the knowledge it saw? Sure..."

On the other hand, it had an interesting use of the circle motif for purifying an area that I'll have to look at again soon.

When my author failed to differentiate between "creative visualization" and "imagining things" when trying to see and work with the fae, I put the book down and haven't been back to it since. Later, I may go through it to see if I can glean anything useful.
