the reunion was not what I was thinking – my first thoughts were that it was going to be a lot of “I’m doing this” etc it was more reminiscing – photos came out – just general catching up – it did not seem that much time had passed – for the most part I started school in first grade – HS with everyone, then we graduated and went our separate lives
I only kept up with a couple but that was pretty much for about a year – then I pretty much got immersed in my work at OSU and filmmaking – then I moved to LA
so it was reacquainting with people I grew up with – but somewhere lost track
I enjoyed seeing them again

There are many. Any idea what you'd like to read about? So what happened at the reunion? :) Before I give you a reading list, I’d like to know what direction you’d like to go in terms of learning.

So what happened at the reunion? :)

Love to hear your reading list suggestions. I will say it got me excited to learn more. I also read very openly as well - meaning that I like to find other expressions and opinions and hopefully develop my own beliefs and thoughts that's so wild you mentioned the HS reunion! I went to my 5th (unfortunately it seems only a couple years ago - lol) but moved to Los Angeles shortly afterward so I did not go to any others. But I made my way back to Ohio and this summer I received an invite for my 30th HS reunion! I was excited at first but as it drew closer I was reluctant to go, but I ended up getting a call from one of my classmates and ended up going - very surreal. I pretty much did not feel I ever fit in - but definitely glad I opted to go . I used to think about "proving" myself too - But I do my own thing in my own time (Peter Fonda - Easy Rider) jc Hers was the first book I read – so I’m always open for suggestions.

And now -- I don't care! :)) Funny how that works. Thank you. I guess everything happens at the right time, indeed.

Silver Ravenwolf, otoh, isn't the most widely respected occultist (to put it mildly). She's a cash machine for her publisher. She's also the introduction to (neo)Wicca and similar systems for many, many people, and as such is reviled by those who have no patience for newbies. I have two of her books -- I try not to judge people I haven't read, you know? But she is inconsistent, if fascinating. There's nothing wrong with her stuff as an introduction as long as people don't take her word as the final authority on a topic. Having an open mind and doing your best to understand is all anyone could ever ask. I appreciate that more than you know. :) I'm excited to connect again with you, too! We're all grown up now, with all of the attendant and accumulated knowledge, changes, and viewpoints that growing up brings. If we can connect in spite of our differences and embrace our similarities, then we gain that much more friendship and shared perspective. So, go us!

I always feel that I have an open mind and I try an read as much as possible to enlighten myself and to understand other people's ways and beliefs. My first readings were from Silver RavenWolf - absolutely fascinated by her writings. Our quest for understanding is best said by Albert Einstein: " Our situation on this earth seems strange. Every one of us appears here involuntarily and uninvited for a short stay, without knowing the whys and the wherefore.
