Without words, one cannot think well.
If you caught this speech in Part One,
Within these pages, are terms and definitions related to witchcraft, paganism, and metaphysics. Please know that I do not attempt to distil any definition to it's purified ultimate truth. On the contrary, I have tried to collect as many definitions as possible. Never the less, No single entry should be considered definitive but rather should be considered as a prompt to further research on your own. For more than 20 years, I have taken wisdom where I found it and by oath, never considered the possibility that I might want to share it outside my family. Some of the wisdom is contradictory. Some of the wisdom I reject but include as a matter of scholarship. I am not the author of most of this work. Consequently, under no circumstance should this Lexicon be reproduced, even if I have altered the copy enough of to claim copyrights. I add attribution where memory or forethought was employed, specifically on the biographies that I have researched through my good friend, George Knowles at his website Controversial.com
I have edited, commented or added to subjects that are different than my family traditions or personal philosophy, even though I have retained as many definitions to a subject as they may be the standard or popular definition. I do this in an attempt to define the parameters of the communities discussions on any one subject. First law of debate: define your terms. These definitions are all about communication. Not dogma. Not belief. Not law.
Please, inform me of any corrections, suggestions for new entries or request me to remove any indiscretion by e-mail. I know this Lexicon needs to be rewritten, doing all my own research, to earn the right to post it, but it's taken me twenty years to collect this version...so I'll risk reprimand to share the wealth.
One final note, one's LEXICON should always be UNDER CONSTRUCTION because the learning never ends. This section will be updated as my understanding and communications skills improve.
Macrocosm: The world around us.
Mage: A master magician who is a scholarly and skilled practitioner of the arts who prefers the mind’s ability and spirit’s ability to be the only tools they use.
