Hello Everyone,
Perhaps, for my first real post on this blog I should introduce myself. My name is Aleris, and it is probably much easier to tell you what I am not before I tell you what I am.
I am not a self-proclaimed mage
I am not a priestess from some sect created on the internet or some dark mistress of sorcery complete with black nail polish and fake fangs.
I am not a guru who has only a bunch of names that no one recognizes to back up their tales of excellence
In other words, I am simply me, and what I am can be summed up in three simple words:
Practitioner. Taoism. Shamanism.
Now you can take those words in any order you want, and assign any connotation that you wish. The simple fact is the three principles presented in those words are how I live my life and how my magic is created.
So now we come to the purpose of this blog. While I could certainly wax poetic about various subjects, instead I’m going to use this blog as a record of my workings. You see, magic, and life isn’t only about what you think – It is also about what you do.
So take these postings for what you will – use the information as you understand and as you see fit.
Many blessings!
Aleris
