Humility and Wisdom

Humility and Wisdom

To all it has happened to us, in each circle of frequent practitioners of any religion that there is someone who attributes to himself as a leader, who believe themselves to be the best believers and who usually stand out for correcting the novice. I've met in my life dozens of believers and practitioners of different ages who seem not to know what is really humility, to the point where so-called "Ego" has become one of our daily bread.

The true believer is humble, responsible, positive, willing and above all, respectful of the beliefs of others. It is a fact that very often young people think they know more than adults by becoming something cynical and even very critical, and very often we make a mistake even worse: following the example of these adults who are usually not just a nice example of humility and equality.

The true believer of the old religion is one who focuses his power to do good and his knowledge to help others, even without them knowing, the true believer is humble, diplomatic and foremost speaks with pride of their own beliefs while respecting those of others. The true believers are to be role models for their community and for their Coven, never promote evil, and by more anger or sadness they feel at anytime they must be able to control their anger and never reveal any kind of curses to anyone for any reason.

The real practitioner when he or she gets angry, does it with humility and respect, bless their enemies even at the worst times and in all circumstances before taking any position or decision thinks:

What will my ancestors think of what I am about to do?.

For the ancestors look after us in every moment of our life and even later, we must show them respect and love, make them feel proud of what we do every day and do everything with love, wisdom and respect for others, you should never make decisions hastily, never make decisions when you're angry, and for no reason make decisions without thinking about how you can influence your future.

Humility is not a right, it is a duty and as such it should be respected and promoted above all. It is true that many different religions and beliefs criticize us, but we must never demean or degrade by an unknown faith on the contrary we have to do it is stand up proudly and show that we can live together in peace in spite of our differences.

Do not criticize or disqualify the different beliefs or thoughts and neither denigrate or humiliate others, because every time you raise your voice to humiliate someone else you just prove how insignificant and empty you really feel.

Act with Wisdom & Humility before all times...

¿Why Does the Sea Reflect the Moon?

Who knows if finally the Sea fell in love with the Moon?

Who would you ask if finally the Moon made the passionate Sea love her?

Someday we'll know, or perhaps we will never know.

When it is about the Sea and the Moon they know their secrets.

The Sea hides many secrets and perhaps the Moon does not know them.

Rites Of Happiness

Cute Quote from my book.

“Smiling when you have problems does not solve anything, but your smile and positive attitude can be there to help anyone who may need it.'

Learning to Live Day to Day

Learning to Live Day to Day

To exist is easy, getting up in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee and go to work, be returned in evening exhausted and wanting to sleep alone to wait for the next day, the difficulty is in not exist.

The difficult thing is to live and knowing how to do it, learning to get up a good mood every morning and thanking this new day has come, wondering what news and new experiences will come to us within 24 hours is not only drinking coffee, is to perceive the strong smell and taste it every morning to see if I gets better or equal to the one before, going to work and trying to prevail in a good mood, being there for those who need you and remembering at all times that this day we are living is the day you yesterday surely  didn't stop worrying about.

 To exist, anyone can do that. Rocks exist, the walls exist, they are there and you can go hit them. Your clothes exist too, they are there, you can touch them and if you want, even burn them, but do not be like rocks or clothing. Do not only exist, learn to live, really live, live and let live, take risks, cry, laugh and feel, not let consume you routine, allows the universe to show you its wisdom, breathe and get up again.

For every two times you fall try to get up three times, do not give up on the day to day, do not become part of that routine that made you forget your purpose,. Learn to live as if you were going to be here forever. Do not let the happiness hit the door twice, take a chance to know it smile back and allow it enter, not only at home, but also in your life, in your day to day, and let the universe take your sorrows. Cease to exist to start to live.

We live in an "overpopulated" world, full of billions of people, but how many of them can really say that they are alive? How many of these Billions of people can really say that they are alive and enjoy their day by day? Life is magical, life is full of opportunities, days and nights, of thoughts and memories. Life is full of love and pain. In this, the rare science that is life, knowing how to choose what we really want in our day to day, and what they really do not want at any time, knowing how to choose and use every moment is to do it as if it were the last.

Today I feel full. I can honestly say that I am happy and I feel good about myself. I'm doing what I want with my time and my life. As a personal anecdote I confess by heart that previous years have been bad to me, as bad as many others, and right now I feel I am in the light of my way. At some time was lost in a shadow that I made, wrapped in my own fears, surrounded by people who I loved but only stayed with me for other interests.

In those years I learned to surround myself with my own enemies preferring pain and constant sadness of the mistreatment than having to start again from scratch. The personal pain and isolation were turning me into a cold person and lacking of desire to continue, until one day in the early morning hours I said "enough" and decided to leave everything, leave the shadows and begin to see life in a different way. I decided I would strive to take the reins of my way starting a project, reconnect with old friends, making new friends also. I started this book, and left behind everything I did not want in my life, places, possessions, memories, people and more. I decided to eradicate the fear that many have and to step upfront, towards the light. I began to live, complete my day dreams. Now I surround myself with positive people every day and I choose what I want to live.

Even today negative people surround me. Many of these people are really dark beings with nothing to live for, nothing to believe in, but that's life. The universe gives you everything, good and bad, it's your decision to choose what you want in your path. I have strengthened the belief that the cosmos acts as a mirror of a very broad spectrum, you ask what you want on it will grant you, but you also must open your eyes and realize that when opportunities present themselves, you must learn to fill your days with positive thoughts, good memories, mental pictures of all those important moments for you. To learn to live is not that hard, you just have to have the courage to take risks.

Every day I see people walking down the streets and try to imagine how will their lives be based on what I see. I see strong, happy people, walking seems like a huge rainbow of light and energy flooding the streets, living in the moment and that is to the naked eye, but I also see gray people, those beings who walk to and from their boring jobs tired, living life just by living, complaining of the day, like vampires walking by shadows and consuming every bit of joy that surrounds them.

It is depressing. If you don't care and distract you from your path, you can end up being like those people, without dreams, without hope of anything interesting happening tomorrow, without craving to do something again, in no mood to have something big happening to you.

These people do not live life, it is clear that life is living out of them. Life has begun removing energy from them energy daily steals their spirits, and many of these individuals do not even realize it, it is a truly despicable attitude. Sometime I also followed that path, but the spiritual teachings and the guidance of the Gods taught me and guided me down the light side of the road that was seemingly always across the dark street where and I walked into account I had fallen because I was busy dying slowly due to the routine of my life.

Forget to live halfway, forget the eternal boredom of doing the same thing every day. Like all I also I have a job, I have had many, but life has taught me to turn routines into a positive experience from day to day. I fill my days of new music, discussions of interesting topics with anyone who crosses my path. I entertain myself in my free time visiting museums and art galleries, discovering parks and reading books of my favorite authors like Jules Gabriel Verne, Paulo Coelho and Katherine Neville, looking to make new friends whom to share with at all times. If you add small doses of this your day, you will realize that life if it's worth and is much more than a boring day.

Every day we must try to become that person we wanted to be when we were kids, not becoming these people than we were even ashamed of when growing up.

Do not let life make you a slave again. Do not get old with frustrations about things you could have done and did not do. Turn the moment into an experience to remember and thus arriving at old age will not be so tedious.

Happiness is there waiting, but do not expect to reach it seated, you must surround yourself with positive people who do not live of gossip and stories. Treasure every moment and every good gesture towards you, and give the value they deserve to everyone that surrounds you.

Do not wait until tomorrow to start living, the right time is now, the right day is today. Cemeteries are full of souls who did nothing but wait until the next day to start living their lives, and now are still waiting for their turn to rejoin the cycle.

We must live every minute. Get kinky, let yourself feel, look for love and feel that curiosity when you try something new. Don't wait for death by the clock, like there is no reason to live. Even death will feel sorry for you.

Life is for you, and for you alone. Do not live for anyone else, live for yourself. Seek to accomplish your goals, dare to dream and fight for those dreams. Life belongs to those who have decided to to take it into their own hands and squeeze it in the best way, not those who are waiting for the day to be over to go to bed and wait for the next.

If you are not happy is because you yourself have not wanted to be, you must try it. You should get excited and follow your impulses. Seek to live without fear and without excuses or promises of tomorrow.

Learn to be positive at all times. Stay away from those negative, deceitful or manipulative people around you. It is inappropriate to say that we have or have had a bad day, if you live a bad moment, then it is up to you if you exceed or choose to take the bad time and turn it into a whole day.

If you have a rant, get away from everything and everyone, do not let them see you. Calm down, breathe, focus on your goals and plan how to improve your mood. Sometimes it is best to take this difficult decision that we fear so much, relax and get up, we all fall but rising is required.

Live, but Live for Yourself, So Live Doesn't Live Out of You.

Traditional Witchcraft

Traditional Witchcraft

From: Wicca! Love & Soul

A line that separates tradition from modern shall be defined in current times, this will help us learn the proper way to perform or even to cancel certain types of magic. Traditional witchcraft is an old but powerful branch of witchcraft that was practiced commonly by our ancestors for hundreds and thousands of years. Traditional Witchcraft is not the same as Wicca and is not spiritism. Witchcraft in its old tradition is based on practice outdoors, spells abundant in symbolism, rhymes and certain herbs.

Traditional Witchcraft has a strong focus in the worship of the forces of nature, the oldest Gods of humanity, herbal remedies and reading and interpretation of the future through natural phenomena, while the more modern witchcraft is highly influenced by spiritism, astrology and even psychology.

"Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways" by Gemma Gary.

Nowadays it is easy to find thousands of books in any library that address the issue of witchcraft, everyone from his point of view. It is difficult to maintain a neutral look when you are so constantly exposed to the opinions and experiences of others. Today is often to combine (even I do it) certain forms of classic witchcraft elements with more modern elements as alchemy or Feng Shui.

The mistake is to do it without study or enough experience, but it never hurts to experiment, although it is very important to differentiate a formula to another. In this book I am inspired by the traditional magic and add some more modern elements but everyone can develop its own formula, provided it has been studied and researched enough to have good results. It is useless to make spells and rituals more colorful or unique if the result is not what we expect.

 In more traditional times of witchcraft there was no famous “Wiccan Rede” which was created centuries later to impose standards on the magic and the practice of the Law of the Triple was not exercised either, which means that all your actions, whether they are good or bad, return to you triplicated even if they are somehow justified. In those days, witches used to be more practical, performed personal sacrifices in exchange for power to change events in their favor, so it was also a common practice to sacrifice animals, which were raised by witches before being sent back to the bowels of the earth.

In modern practice we find laws and quite convincing rules, as the Triple Law, which is bound to the individual karma, which in turn keeps out many witches, law can be ignored by the practitioner provided them to make a suitable sacrifice, for in magic nothing can be achieved for nothing in exchange for the same value.

Witchcraft at that time used to be more direct, more powerful, less methodical and simple, yet became a danger to non-practitioners because witches could exercise their powers left and right on other influencing facts at their convenience by repudiation of karma and the law of universal balance.

What Is Wicca?, From: Wicca! Love And Soul.

What Is Wicca?
From the Book: Wicca! Love And Soul.

Wicca is a magical-spiritual movement that takes us back in time to that mystical path of enlightenment and universal truth, channeling the energies and powers of our ancestors through the veneration of the Cosmos and real Deities as old as creation. In Wicca we find countless deities, but mainly the Sun God and the Moon Goddess and we learn the art of mystical spirituality from them.

Wicca is a tribute to Mother Nature in every one of her forms, is a magnificent and intriguing medley of traditional and chameleon, looking and somehow facing the Absolute Power of the deities and the cosmic destination off all Great spirits. It is a beautiful belief linked to the revival of energies.

To differentiate it from the profuse and square current beliefs, Wicca does not seek to evangelize, to criticize, belittle or blame anyone, much less claims to be the only path that exists, nor is it a practice that promotes hate or detachment regarding other religions.

Wicca is a positive, cheerful and constant learning lifestyle. Wicca takes you along the path of love and respect for those who are different or think differently. Wicca allows you worship the deities of the pantheon of your preference and nature provided you keep a firm respect and consideration for the beliefs of those around you. Wicca is a path of light, addressed in magic and wrapped in the mysticism of its practitioners.

In Wicca every day is celebrated with small acts of kindness for the simple fact of being alive. we have faith in those around us, in the Goodness of the unknown person, in the power of prayer and the fact of loving all who are different as sons and brothers in the same path, we promote love, the daily Learning and respect to those who think differently, we worship nature, Lunar phases, Eclipses and Deities that guard each of the ancient religions.

Wicca for many means “to have wisdom.” It is about individual development as a human being as well as your integration with nature and the cosmos being another member of their community. Wicca tries to make better, more complete and more humble people. We seek not only the power to positively change our lives, but also the possibility of helping those in most need and those we love. We  believe in life and Free Love in all its forms. We do not judge anyone for your condition, for it is not us pr anyone else who is suited to judge.

On the Wiccan way we seek balance between our human qualities and... Read more.

“And You made me name myself a Pagan and I made you name yourself a Christian, and you stepped away from me and I corresponded your jokes also, and we followed different paths in life and death, we met in the afterlife and arrived to the same moon, you begging to find your gods and praying to find mine, and we walk past the same answer and then continued. 

Each on their own path, one chose to move forward and another chose to reincarnate though we could have relaxed and chose the same path we decided to continue our learning, and several centuries later we meet again, you with your Virgins and I with my Gods having forgotten that sometime in the past we met in this path.”

Eastern & Western Magic

Magic and sorcery in different countries of the world have developed positively and with the passing of the years have been changing and evolving slowly but steadily, have been divided, and have taken thousands of shapes for each village, with names and characteristics suitable for each region.

English magic and the sorcery of Japan keep many differences between them, but also endless similarities, perhaps because it is a legacy of our oldest towns, or the gift of an old and ephemeral race of Atlanteans or Lemurians who perished and left us their greater knowledge.

In England, as in much of the European territory abound fairy tales, legends of witches and divination practices. Especially in the latter branch there is a great approach, as it is the comprehensive study of Tarot or the reading or tea leaves, as well as English astrological movement that has made a great contribution to the culture of astrology around the “New World”.

"Every man and woman is a star" - Image from #Pinterest

The reading of the tea leaves is native to the Roma people, such as the Tarot that despite being more recognized in the Americas and Spain, we must not forget that its early exponents were the Egyptians, French and English, (Such a coincidence that so similar forms of divination are developed in two very distant and totally different regions).

In Japan, the art of witchcraft is more common in Shinto temples and new streams of Buddhism more linked to mysticism than to personal development as in their respective origins. In Japan, China and Taiwan, we get a true influx of priests and modern shamans, practitioners of traditional religion of Japan, which is worthy to take credit for their unconditional way to rank the spirits, as the Kami (spirits who have evolved to the point of being compared to gods) and Shikigami (suffering souls who are to turn into terrible demons) or the Oni (those dark deities that folklore has mistaken with Ogres).

From both sides we find a development  in a remarkable approach in the use of spirits for all kinds of practices beyond the Greek sorcery where each magician looks for the power inside himself.  Japanese and English arts of divination have this feature, before each practice the respective invocation to the familiar spirits of the soothsayer or  practitioner is done and then they proceed to divination.

Magic Circle by J W Waterhouse, 1886. It is in the Tate Gallery (London, United Kingdom)

An example of the above is the famous Ouija, the popular table spirits of European origin who became known worldwide during World War I, which also has its respective Japanese equivalent, the Kokkuri, a paper tablet with numbers and Chinese letters used to guess the good fortune with the use of a coin and is common practice in modern Shinto temples by the Itako (priestesses with the task of caring temples and away evil spirits).

During recent years, amid political, religious and social conflicts, it is quite common to note as thousands of people that find no satisfactory answers or feel empty and deluded in their own homes of religion are directed towards the ancient religions and the old belief to find  in this way inner peace between so much discord.

Due to these changes the curiosity that leads to intense days of spiritual study emerges and this in turn tends to be linked to different branches of Witchcraft and Wizardry, like alchemy and Shamanism in some cases, without realizing that they all have links and they all have items parallel to each other such as polytheistic concepts, belief in reincarnation beyond the desired immortality and immutable use of magic to solve all kinds of situations.

Eastern Magic has as a solid foundation the mythology, the philosophy and religions that have been taking shape in the Far East. These focus mainly in the domain of spirits and demons, who are  attributed with a more real perception than we can understand, and in the spiritual realm through the recitation of mantras and incantations, control breathing and mental power in the pursuit of a solution to all our concerns of mundane origin.

Western Magic is a compilation of distantly eastern influences, a strong structure of Hebrew Kabbalistic tradition and the belief of a magical tradition from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, adorned with elements of traditional folk magic and real knowledge of the effects of certain plants and other elements on health.

In retrospect, two forms of elemental magic quite different from each other, but anyway, absolute Magic under different names. An African man and a German woman can certainly look different, but they don't stop being a same race and species with talents and needs.

African Moon Goddess by Credo Vusamazulu Mutwa

Magic in Africa & Japan

Magic, for the most part of Africa is referred to as “Voodoo” and over the Centuries has led to the point of being catalogued as a strong religion with millions of followers. A spiritual movement very similar to this is found in Brazil under names like “Umbanda”, “Candomblé” and “Kimbanda”, all or polytheistic pagan character. These combine their own form of indigenous African spiritualism and Shamanism sometimes with mysticism from Oceania.

Africans keep a faithful belief on the existence of an Omniscient Supreme God with great power that keeps his realm over a known group of minor Deities, whose have domain over diverse natural or human aspects such as the sea, volcanoes, love and wealth.

In Africa it is common to worship spirits and deities in different forms like the sun, tiger, moon and snakes. They have a significant pantheon of Deities and believe in the “loas”, wise spirits who are sometimes violent and frightening, other times  protective. They are the spirits of the dead and are summoned for divination and rituals for health.

On the other hand magic and sorcery in Japan lie in the belief of the Kami, (spirits evolved enough)  gods, demigods and geniuses, its power comes from the Japanese traditional Shamanism, old Buddhist legends and the constant practice of purification and spiritualism.

A common practice in northern Japan as in much of China's traditional Shamanism, is based on coexistence with the spirits of the home, possession of souls and the projection of dark entities which are handled with paper talismans called Ofuda.

A different stream of divination and mysticism has also been created around the practices of Buddhism and Hinduism. This is the clear result of a cultural exchange in the Japanese region also due Magi and believers who usually visit the region and leave constancy therefore their various practices.

What Is Magic? - Wicca! Love & Soul

What Is Magic?
From book: Wicca! Love & Soul

Magic, that great word that we have been hearing since very young, a word rich in history and meanings, a name shrouded in mysteries and illusions, comes from the Persian “Magush” meaning “to have the power”. This term was developed by the old Persian priestly line conceived by great Astrologers and Shamans of the Old Era.

Magic constituted the basis of the practices of priesthood in the of ancient Babylon. The whole story was imbued with great magicians, sorcerers, priests, witches and druids from Rome, Greece, Egypt, China, Mexico, Spain, Ireland, France and England and in most of the West and East of the Ancient World.

Magic has always been associated with the history of medieval Europe. It has been in countless stories, fairy tales and in recent years is the basic theme of the most successful films and TV series. Magic not only opens the possibility for a unknown world rich in stories, characters and myths of all species, it also gives us the power to make our personal goals a reality and make our dreams palpable.

Alchemy, Astrology, Shamanism, all they are part of the same universal tissue and they all act separately or together for a common good. Magic will not make you a millionaire, but will help to cover the costs. With faith you can put a roof over your head and if you desire it hard enough, it can bring that special person you expect to share the rest of your life and prolong your life and that of your loved ones.

We cal it Magic, we call it Spirit, we call it even Karma or Energy to all of this set of elements that exist around us since the world began. Since its inception, it has been adored, admired and studied in all religions and spiritual movements. Those who deny it, only fear it and they live their gray monotonous and cautionary lives, where they conform to rejoice in repeating the same acts day after day without being able to distinguish all that is hidden in front of themselves, seeking how to fill that emptiness inside their own ignorance and pride does not allow them to fill.

Those who recognize the existence of a superior spirituality can learn to use it, have the opportunity to live surrounded by great moments of happiness, for to use the power hidden in each one to attract love and good fortune does not violate any universal rule.

Magic teaches you to be happy at the worst times, teaches you that you are not alone at any moment and you live surrounded by countless ethereal beings willing to listen and help today, tomorrow and always. The Magic that you carry in you will take care of you and guide you by the good track, and by far you fail you will be taken by the hand of the Creator Spirit and he will take you back to the path of good magician to progress, learn and evolve.

Being in love with the simple fact of life is not crazy, on the contrary, it is to intimate with the most ingenious secrets of creation and to understand this unknown world that we have before our eyes but from young age we have been taught taught to deny  its existence. The real goals of the Magicians are to know everything around them and to use these tools to provide shelter to their concerns helping their relatives and themselves.

We can find this mysterious energy in every places and molecules in the universe as well as in the breathing of people, in the process of growth of people and plants, in the success and glory, in health, in love, in wealth and in the singing of birds, in the light and in the dark and in the eternal balance of things.

Magic is invisible and untouchable. To know the magic is to know the world and to know yourself. To understand it is to understand part of the essential workings of everything that happens around us. Magic is in absolutely every action we take, in every sense and each phase of the moon, from the simple act of making a wish on a star to the sacred act of blessing our power tools, all this is possible thanks to the mastery of this inner energy and understanding of the spirits around us.

Wicca! Love & Soul - Six Months later

Wicca! Love & Soul - Six Months later

So it was titled my first step in this literary world, Wicca! Love & Soul was my first book and the beginning of a new era not only for me as an astrologer and student of the esoteric arts from an early age, was also the beginning of a new era for all my followers who may have a small part of my work in their repertoire of tools to guide each of your steps.

The reception of my first book was much warmer and truly loving what we expected, a project originally planned as a trilogy but ended up taking on a life and personality moving away from all plans during editing and seemed to demand more and more work.

Wicca! Love & Soul opened the doors to the homes of many believers, followers and practitioners of Wicca, Neo-Paganism and the Old Religion becoming a blessed talisman of great power who takes care of them from a corner of their homes.

But not everything can be finished there, my first book Wicca! Love & Soul was made with love and dedication, were many years writing and translating charms of the old school, adapting to modern times and increasingly developed a strong bond with this new vocation for me that is writing.

Many who engage in same field as myself write a book and stay there, but that was not my case. It is fantastic to know you were years writing till you drop and soon a small part of your work and your soul found in the homes of many people you are teaching them every day diversity of formulas and secrets to improve their lives in each of its aspects.

So as one who had children and then perceives the need to provide them brothers, I decided to embark on this new book, after nearly a decade writing and now a book that travels the world you say to yourself “Perfect, now what do I do?” Feel the need to get on with your work and consent to those readers who ask a second and third delivery as soon as possible.

To write a sequel would be to downplay the original. That one is the spoiled and nobody will remove it from its place, but... Every good child needs brothers to help him mature and grow, that is how I give you a second work, not a continuation as many believe or hope but rather a complement.
When writing Wicca! Love & Soul the approach went straight to the Mother Goddess, the Moon, and witchcraft in its more traditional look.

Now in this book I give you the other side of the coin, we bind ourselves this time with the Father God, the Sun, an more modern and unusual sorcery.

This book born out of love for the old school and the old traditions, I have always considered writing a book is like planting a small seed of light, and each time someone purchases the book this seed is germinating, spreading branches worldwide and seeking to provide shade to all who need it.

I invite you to follow me in this race to enlighten the world with our own inner light, sharing and suggesting these works to all your loved ones to also lighten their way.

My First Book - Wicca! Love & Soul

My First Book - Wicca! Love & Soul

Years Writing, Years Dreaming, Years Thinking and so many years doubting, I finally decided to risk it, I decided to challenge myself, and stop asking me Why do it? And start asking Why not? Each day we get up in the morning is  one more risk in our lives. Since we get outside to work we face bravely each day the news, the delinquency, the diseases and several crisis, but if we can fight against it every day, why not take a risk and go beyond?.

Why not dream and give the best of ourselves? Not for others to see us, on the contrary, we don't have to prove to anyone what we can do, the only one you have to prove it to is yourself, so I took a decision, gather the most convincing of my material and finish it, and now here it is in your hands. I proved to myself that I can reach my goals, I can self motivate each day, carry out my projects and share them with people who will bring out the best of it.

There I was 7 years ago when I decided to start this project, correcting books by other authors, inquiring into formulas and implementing hundreds of advices; some of them very good, others just filling ink in a book devoid of any meaning; and telling myself “if I had written it, I would have made many corrections before publishing” without realizing that those old notebooks and personal agendas in a drawer filled with pages marked in full color with recipes, formulas, incantations, spells and astrological studies could become someday my cover letter, dozens of notes and pages written by someone with too much time and desire to devote himself to such a friendly project.

I've had what I myself consider to be positive career in astrology. When I started in my early studies of Tarot, with teachers and classmates insisting weekly in personal consultations, favors for favors, I used to share formulas and secrets with a certain Ms. that sold amulets half a block from school, whom I met to share notes, books and stories full of folklore. She was a wise woman, just like my mother from whom I learned much of what was my foundation to develop my own formula and so many teachers in various groups and covens  where I belonged in the city.

I also learned from those classmates whom I shared with in the school breaks, exchanging (with them also) notes and calendars with astrological dates marked. Between these notes and the books that I used to borrow from  my mother's small but very complete library, I built for myself step by step a fascinating idea of what's really hidden right in front of our nose, and like that I learned to seeing it and living it, turning my faith into a lifestyle.

There were always those who mocked or complained. Some classmates branded me as arrogant, strange or just blatant, as I was out there sharing formulas behind each school notebook, and meeting with study groups of astrology and Wiccan white magic on weekends. Other treated me simply as "weird", that has never kept me awake. The “alien feel” should not alter us while we are doing what we love. The critics don't kill, and everything that doesn't kill you only strengthens you.
After three years of learning, I got transferred to another school, and this gave me the opportunity to learn new people and sneak between teachers.

I studied all the books of metaphysics and Feng Shui that came into my hands, I learned to believe and visualize my own Inner Light. These books taught me to protect me from the miseries that others may wish upon me. These new teachers showed me the books on psychology, studies of Freud and that jumble of modern ideas we call "Sociolinguistics programming" that can also be really important to know oneself. One can not achieve Enlightenment without knowing the Darkness withing e and the origin of it.

And thus the year went by, studying, knowing, practicing, learning and, most importantly, making mistakes repeatedly, for  we learn more from mistakes than from advice. I have taken notes on everything. I've written any thought to cross my mind and, after much work and practice, here I give the results, as clear as polished glass and realizing that this is only a first step, as I have much more to learn in this elaborate and complex facts collected daily we call life.
