I wasn't going to post anything, but just felt lead. I was halfway to sleep when I suddenly felt compelled to turn the PC on and type away.(prior to going to bed early this time I had alittle nighty night spell to help induce faster sleep.) Well anyway, last night I stayed up in the wee hours of the morning when I should have been alseep to goto work. I woke up and had very little sleep. I'm a beginner and had a few words of knowledge from our chatroom here that pointed me to some readying material an I dug in. (Thankyou EisKora) So when I awoke after a short nights rest, I could not even sit still to read a write some personal practice material I've been working on this week. So here some more of the story. (I know I'm jumping around and it you can follow me you must be truly remarkable) I use a power gaining spell and I was infused so mightly I was able to get and retain more material in my mind then the norm. I was beside myself with amazement. I've never been very sucessful in school and if I had come across magic sooner my whole life would have been differant. Hindsight right? ( : That day at work was very progressive and productive. I even got a call for a job I've been competing to get for awhile, and now see a chance, which in the year of the dragon have been very few an far in between, but I think it's because of no knowledge of magic I recently have discovered, Thankyou site. There alot more, I'll share some more fragments I always go to this store to buy smokes for my Uncle and the clerk was differant today, she was a nice looking woman and I'm very shy and tonguetied and distance. Well I was beside myself again in confoundment when I felt as though my tougue turn silver! ( : lol There's more, but just wanted to share some loose fragments of my day. This is my 5 day in magic. Bless you all, I really feel like their a personal deity coaching and helping me.

Thank you for sharing. It's refreshing to see someone catching on quickly. Now you just need good direction. Many wonderful free texts here

Modern literature is filled with garbage. Its so hard to find good writers. It's best to start with the "greats" and that way you can better determine the good from the bad when sorting through newer material. (My personal favorite is Agrippa).
Here is also a good collection of info...not old stuff but some very excellent articles concerning various paths. I haven't read through the entire thing, but from what I have read (at least 30-40 of the entries) I haven't been disappointed.

Thank you for the references. It is so good to have people like you to guide us in a direction (more focussed than just surfing the net and having to decide what is reliable.)
All my appreciation for people like WhiteRav and Eiskora, Alvastar, Lark and Starrie - I am going to fill the page, you are so many who are wonderful and supportive and make yourselves available to share.
What a great inspiring story! Im goiong through a tough time at the moment and can´t seem to find any motivation. Please let me know if you have any good ´gain power and strength´spells that have worked for you. Thanks
Are you keeping a journal? You really should if you aren't already, it is great to read back on your progress, particularly when things are a little tougher (we tend to forget our successes very quickly!)
