You still don't seem to have a clue. Again I say this conversation is pointless. No matter what I say, no matter how bluntly or sugared up I put my point, I don't think you are about to understand any time soon and I am getting tired of this. I have information to sort out for covens and not enough time to do that, a website for Guild of Mages that I need to update which is what I am about to do now, I have tasks to perform for a career in the real world and research to do for my career goal. I don't have the time or patience for this now so I will simply leave the thread by saying this; take the advice that you have given me in messages and in this thread, put it to use, and attempt to achieve peace of mind.

It takes two to tango, 08. If this was a fight then you are just as guilty as Ragnorok is and I don't think Britty is to blame since she simply gave her opinion and left it at that. Ragnorok and you are the two who carried on about it and I would like to point out that Rag nearly dropped the topic twice before you carried it on even going so far as to send him messages to ensure he saw your insults. I know you probably don't care about anyone's opinions if they disagree with you, but if you were in my coven I think I would be ashamed.
From what I have seen this isn't what I would call a fight, 08. Rather I would call it a disagreement/misunderstanding. According to Rag you did not get his point, according to you he did not get your point, and so somewhere along the way I think both of you misunderstood each other. I suggest you take Rag's advice now that it is over, regardless of who's fault it was, and simply let it go. Going off his quote there really isn't a point in holding on to hot coal and when you think about it in that metaphor it really sounds like something someone with a depressing lack of IQ would do.
" How foolish your post Ragnorok.... You may be a priest but that does not give you the RIGHT to call me a child... You cant even answer the question properly... "
And being a council member of your coven gives you the right to insult people? Once again, you're being a hypocrite. The only way you could redeem yourself in my eyes would be to admit your mistakes and apologise.
However,i too cannot take assumption that he is truly being childish.Childish doesn`t seen to fit the people here at all.
I rather use the word "immature".
I do not doubt that such studies on Restricted Spells must be avoided.There are reasons for every measurements taken.Even if you had the chance to study.The energy would be too intense or should i say swallow you into a different reality of what you perceive now.
I had once gone far to cut my flesh and use my blood for further studies.Never really liked that day i was corrupted..
Still,i only take blame upon myself but not others.Take my advice carefully.Always take note of others before you.
He is being Very childish. I tried making this topic stop with kinder words but you little of a twit decides to keep going and making a mockery of my Priest.
Ignorant, arrogant fool you are young Phoenix keep proving yourself even more so... this is all sickening. How members I respect dearly are putting themselves into a hopeless argument with this, person.
Now what pre' tell, was your question?
I proclaim, am now taking this personally as I see you have almost completely mocked and disregarded any consrtuctive critism given by 2 of my members. Not to mention pushing them to the point that they even try to talk sense into you.
Well as Priestess I put my foot down, for I am tired as well of seeing my Priest put forthe the effort of insulting you even if it isn't quite misplaced.
THIS TOPIC IS BANNED FROM GUILD OF MAGES MEMBERS.
Any more of my members wasting their time here will be delt with in persuit of making them understand my anger.
I can not control of all people, what Ragnorok does so if he chooses to continue this then I give him utmost good luck at making this topic turn around and change course. But as for the rest of my members in Guild of Mages, I refuse to let it continue if any others were planning on contributing to this.
I hope you all understand, that this is just rediculous and I forbid it to go any further.
Sorry Britty, but since you worded it that way I have to give it just one more try. Fiftieth time's a charm, no?
I'm going to break this down into the simplest terms I can. No insults intended, no sly remarks or vague hints, all straight to the point and as specific as I can make it at the moment.
1) My first problem was not a mistaken question, it was the insult to a very knowledgeable member who's only goal seemed to be an explanation on how your post could be considered an insult to your coven. A coven should be like a family, unless you don't believe your family deserves respect you should respect your coven just as you would respect your family and that means to not insult them.
2) The problem with me believing that this is a test are as follows.
*Your question does not seem to be obviously mis-written except for that it could be considered insulting to your coven.
*You went directly to insults, thereby taking the "experiment" off it's given course to see instead how people deal with you insulting a respected member.
*The excuse of such a conversation being a test is commonly used among people still in elementary school(not saying this as an insult, simply stating what is a fact).
*Finally, if this were just an experiment then it should have stayed within the laboratory(this thread, metaphor in use) and therefore not have been carried on to direct insults sent by messages.
3) Now for answering the questions here.
"A coven that does no spells from spellbooks but actual exercises, more on mind?"
I believe every coven should have exercises posted. Meditations, tending to chakras, increasing skills with energy manipulation or specific schools of spell casting, and working on abilities such as mind reading or seeing auras. If a coven has absolutely none of those nor any exercises like them, I would have to consider that coven to be incomplete. In which case I can't point out every coven that definitely has exercises, but upon your request I can list the ones that I think are most likely not to have them(which I would do in private messages to avoid insulting viewers here from those covens).
"What power is Bigger than Life but not on Plain Sight??
- there is a power bigger than life, what is it that is not on plain sight??"
I have to say this could be a tricky question, but mostly because it seems very unspecific to me and that's what I tried to explain when giving you potential definitions of "power" and how it may be perceived differently. So let's try again. The power that is bigger then life and not in plain sight would likely be something non-physical, obviously, and that means either a higher power or a virtue.
Considering higher powers, that depends entirely on your own beliefs. The Christian God, I believe some sections of Paganism have a God/King of Gods, non-god religions may mention some powerful Spirit entity, many Native Americans might say the Great Spirit, and Taoism has a quote saying that knowing others is strength while knowing yourself is true power.
As a virtue it would probably be love, compassion, and all that is considered good in the world. Everything that is positive. Hope and kindness, generosity, etc. As many wise men have said, it is these virtues that shine through the darkest of times and remain forever undimmed.
"What power is bigger than life but not on Plain sight??"
Answered in previous statement, your second question is exactly like the first.
"My post is as simple as simple...
But what did i get?? A bad message from your friendly friend...."
The bad message was an attempt for an explanation, I don't believe offense was meant directly to you. As a friend of mine recently told me, most often it is we who choose to be insulted by words more then it is the words absolutely being insulting. Whether something is meant to be offensive or not is irrelevant, what matters is how we choose to take it and how we choose to respond. To answer your question; you got a bunch of replies, most in disagreement with you and a few that agreed and supported you.
"Who cares if you have to do all those stuff..."
Many people, actually, but that is not why I posted it. My point was to say that I consider my to-do list to be packed with more important things then a pointless and endless quarrel over words. As a member of a council and as a person who is breathing, I believe you should have some more important things to do as well. If you do not I will gladly offer advise on how to collect things to do, suggest some hobbies, etc. Just say the word.
And now I am done here, entirely and unquestionably. If these words don't answer the questions given and explain my views in the most passive and non-insulting tone possible of me, there is obviously no point in me wasting more of my time here.
Good luck to anyone reading this and safe travels along whatever path you may choose to walk.
