Could we build a dictionary on the site? There seems to be some confusion on termenology and I think a dictionary everyone could refer to would help.

Or maybe a full-blown Wiki since some concepts (like karma) might require more than a dictionary definition.

That could work, though if a definition isn't helpful at that point one should use a search engine.

True enough, but I just googled "karma" to check - I did get a few helpful hits, but I also got hits with misinformation and something about a credit card. The study of magick is difficult enough even when you have good resources handed to you, so asking a newbie to wander around on the internet trying to discern fact from fiction isn't really helping anyone.

Instead of always relying on your computer, why don't you get an actual book. You could keep it next to your computer and look up any words you get stuck on. I know thats just crazy but books do come in handy.

I have a dictionary and a set of encyclopedias right next to my computer. This was an idea for those who can't be bothered to look in a book and expect everything to be on this site. In a sense it was a joke.

Books come in real handy when you can be sure it's accurate, can afford it, and aren't a youth living with parents who will try to burn the demons out of it.

An encyclopedia, which is what a wiki is, contains information from books organized in a way that makes finding information more efficient.

Hmm, a dictionary would be very helpful! Should we pray to the Gods? :)
