And then a great creature glided past. And such was it's beauty that it drained all other colour
from the world
That quizz *points* made me think about stuff. And this may be illegible, but yeah.
I was thinking about dreams, and nature, and the world, and what I believe, and I realised that I have a really vast, complicated and confusing system of beliefs.
And that led me to realise that I guess I'm a spiritual person, or whatever it is that's the correct term. It's not so much that I don't know what I believe, it's that I don't know how to explain it to anyone else properly, (or that I lack the patience to do so). I don't really agree totally with any religions, but I don't disagree with any religions either. I think my deepest beliefs currently would be close to Pagan or Wicca or whatever, or at least, my understanding of them (which is amazingly limited, actually, I'm pretty much drawing from thin air here)
Ok. Scratch the last statement, because I have no idea what I'm talking about in that respect.
I believe most strongly in all the really old, common-thread beliefs - that everything is interconnected, and that there's a certain.. awareness about things, especially animals.
Maybe I'm just very natury-foresty-animal-connecty-kinda, but I don't know, I find no place more peaceful and safe than places like the Shannon, which happens to be my favourite place in all the world. It always smells like rain there.
And I think beliefs that've been held for a long time have a certain power about them, too. I like certain prayers, simply because they're so old. It's amazing to think that so many, many, many people have said those same words (well, not the same words but the same meaning) thousands of years ago.
I also think that things like 'black magic' shouldn't be messed with. Like the magic of the shamans of African tribes, I don't think anyone that isn't from those African tribes should be meddling in it, it's just a feeling I have.
Yeah. So that's my unedited rant to get my feelings down, thankyou goodnight!
Dream, the third of The Endless, you are in charge
of the Dreaming, all imagination and
creativity, everyone knows your beautiful
realm, but none truly understand it. You are
dark and brooding, creative, and spend a lot of
time by yourself, just thinking. You are almost
as serious as Destiny, but not quite. Everyone
is enchanted by you, but you keep them all at a
distance, even when you shouldn't.
Which Endless are you?

Hell, if I thought it was real I'd utilise it without a moments pause. Without a single moments pause. I think the 'negative' consquences would actually be the best part.

Its generally felt that it is magic that comes from Satan, or demons, or just generally evil beings.
Also generally causes the damnation of the wielder.
Is considered `stronger` than your more `white` magics, mainly because it has immediate and obvious effect, instead of being subtle.
Heh, spot the Fantasy reader...

It's like that accusation made about how D&D spells are real and summon demons and the like. response being "If I could cast spells, wouldn't I be ruling the world or something?"
