“Learn to write by doing it. Read widely and wisely. Increase your word power. Find your own individual voice though practicing constantly. Go through the world with your eyes and ears open and learn to express that experience in words.”
“Witchcraft isn't about picking up a book, and asking forgiveness.. or learning about spirituality through the words of others. What you learn from those books are the opinions of other people, and not your own. If this is what you believe then you are not an individual. Witchcraft is about accepting that YOU are responsible for the choices that YOU have made, and YOU teaching YOURSELF to make the right choices. Its about learning through YOUR OWN opinions, YOUR OWN life lessons, YOUR OWN inner self, and by doing so.. BECOME an individual.”
“Silence and solitude are universally recognized spiritual practices, and there are good reasons for this. Learning how to discipline your speech is a way of preventing your energies from spilling out of you through the rupture of your mouth, exhausting you and filling the world with words, words, words instead of serenity, peace and bliss.”
“It is the same with anything - you have to learn through your own experience, paying your own way. You can't learn it from a book.”
“Write about the experiences that made you feel human. And whatever happens, please do continue to live and write. The people of your own time may not perceive your words, but be cheered by the fact that history has shown that, many times, mankind has learned to love an author, even if their own time thought nothing of them.”
“learn from my miseries, and do not seek to increase your own.”
