You're well out of that mess, if you...ROFLMAO! You're well out of that mess, if you ask me!<br /><br />There is a peculiar combination of paganism and "new age thought" that happens in the U.S. It wants to believe that anyone wise or knowledgeable must also be infinitely kind and perfectly gentle, and gets distressed if anything is said in a straightforward (defined as "unkind" or "ungentle") way. I myself don't agree with it - I've known plenty of cranky old folks who know one hell of a lot, if you can tolerate them long enough to get them to tell you, lol. I generally prefer not to have to work my way through multiple "kind" vaguenesses and obfuscations in order to understand what people are trying to say to me - it always feels to me like manipulation when something is presented that way. :shudder: I suspect these folks would not like me much, either. XD<br /><br />BTW, my favorite wand came from you via eBay several years ago, and I am delighted to have come across you again. :) Merry meet!<br /><br />Morgan in the U.S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
