For such personalities the book is likely to be a interpreted as a direct attack on them personally even if Pat nor others have never met them.<br /><br />Here's hoping that such types might clandestinely make use of elements of the book for the better. xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-35198734868034098552010-08-18T06:41:09.161-06:002010-08-18T06:41:09.161-06:00No I think you are completely right.

No magic, no divine link, just words.<br />What is scary is that they believe that they are good magicians because they happen to be holding the Heirophant's wand when they do this particular travesty of ritual.<br />Such types often say that the tradition looks after them. <br />Pat's book shows a standard which most Heirophants do not measure up too. My guess is that there will be people out there that are scouting it for typos so they can discount the whole book. What the book emphasises is a "practical" Golden Dawn which will always be out of fashion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397283594429773853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-32395962231543970822010-08-17T22:38:20.240-06:002010-08-17T22:38:20.240-06:00Ok, you are right, I should have made that more cl...Ok, you are right, I should have made that more clear---it is implied.

Tell me they just sort of imply it or fool themselves into thinking their natural ability is enough. Please tell me this is so.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144040453666802786noreply@blogger.com
