I'm disappointed to read that upon beginning a new journey of learning you have decided to classify so many people who have devoted time and energy and their own honest work to understanding the very things you're studying as "woo-woos." Not everyone has the privilege to be able to speak about their interests in a way that is valued by the mainstream, with such a sophisticated voice as you have, nor do they necessarily have the ability to validate their work through academic or capitalist avenues. I think it is callous and unbecoming of you to write those people off, especially since you seem to otherwise be on the forefront of enlightenment, and especially since you are in the business of beauty, which is something equally as unquantifiable as magic to some. I hope that you take into consideration as you begin this study that there have been many, many others before you who have done real, important, valid work in those fields (even if only to themselves or their own communities), and that you, as a student, are in a position to learn from any of them. Besides, it would be just as easy for any "woo-woo" to accuse you of being a fairweather follower, interested only in this realm of plant and flower study as far as you derive personal gain within a capitalist system. Good luck.

Our relationship to them, and them to us, on an emotional level. What can we learn from them, about ourselves. So much to delve into there.

Hard to explain to them that I use things like crystals and tarot for storytelling/meditation/mindfulness, without any "magic" leanings to them at all. I think instincts and self-knowledge are locked inside our subconscious, and I'm not afraid of going in there to find out.

Science just isn't enough to explain some of the most amazing, wondrous things out there for me. The earth is far too magical for an explanation to suffice.<br /><br />In my circle of Pagan friends, the mindsets and beliefs really do run the gamut. But I do believe that it's the reason why it's the best group of people I know.<br /><br />Good luck in your studies - it sounds like you are already making progress in the mind shift.Alyssa Rainvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650742898802776944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848360954218054222.post-77555712554215937292016-02-08T08:18:28.509-08:002016-02-08T08:18:28.509-08:00I love this new frequent journaling!

Glad you're finding yourself there. <br /><br />Also, this post reminds me of Masanobu Fukuoka's "One-Straw Revolution", though you're probably familiar with it. My favorite part in the book was where Fukuoka talks about his disdain for his former life as a scientist and his realization that research at times falls short. I have those passages saved somewhere in a journal, which I may be revisiting soon. Thanks. :)Sallyhttp://sarahcatherinececilia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
