Stop treating this forum like Wattpad 🙄

@Lady_Eva. you are my hero

Now it’s my turn to smell of wee! (pmsl!)

[The_Shadow_Hunter]

agreed. Also worth noting that such fantasies drive away newcomers or gives them the wrong idea about what to expect from magick. I remembered reading all those stories where people acted as if they were some sort of “chosen one” and wondered if i was doing something wrong.

Just going back to:

Linuriel_Starborn:

I did not know threats were against forum rules, next time you’ll say trolling and cursing is against forum rules as well!

Threats are against the rules, trolling is, cursing… eh, I don’t think anyone can moderate what magick people do provided they are discreet, however if someone tells another member they will curse that person (or their loved ones etc) or implies any magick will be done against them, that’s just a threat, it gets the usual solution: up the backside.

I know, I always read the rules before engaging in activity.
I was just cracking a joke that some people lack the common sense of knowing rules and directives that should be easy to figure out on its own.

Imo problems of self value, self confidence and self-esteem (specially if they affect the way you practise magic) are something that need to be dealt with individually.

I usually take more time and care on drawings but wanted to get this in quickly. I actually do draw more than stick figures occasionally.

Sometimes I wonder what if someone made a BALG egregore that deflected members from cursing/attacking each other with energy and no one knew about it until now xD

[Mystic-Void]

Getting the BALG rules tattooed

Have I finally found the only other person on the planet who reads the full instructions before embarking on flatpack furniture, and gets it done properly and with a minimum of aggravation?

Back on topic, to be fair, I join forums and don’t usually read all their rules first, it’s normal behaviour, you just figure you’re there with honest intent and to post on topic, not spam etc., you probably lurked a bit to see what the forum was like and think you know the score, so there’s no point in me or anyone else getting too upset if someone’s obviously not read the rules and is just being innocently enthusiastic, if they have good intentions they’re always happy to adjust course when requested.

[Mystic-Void]

Hey that is a good idea wtf

[The_Shadow_Hunter]

I agree with you. But when you’re a begginer you don’t really know what to expect… So when you see a story about someone who thinks they’re a mystical overlord you may get the wrong idea about what you’re dealing with.

[anon48079295]

That’s something I could get behind lol

[Akashiel]

@anon48079295

made a BALG egregore

The one we have (or so I’ve been told) would get jealous and attempt to destroy us. causing a nuclear apocalypse

[NeoFightTheNyophite]

Hehehe then whose thoughts friend?

@4hmagm

We could teach them to use their intuition first it won’t steer them wrong.

I think thats a bad idea. Being too trusting in intuition, and also those damn pendulums led me very astray when I first began. Telling a moron to trust themselves is bound to lead to trouble.

[4hmagm]

There is so much energy being moved though and around this forum I would not be surprised if it has a conscience on its own.

[Brand_New]

I usually lurk a long before I post, if I even post. Most of the time I feel like I don’t really have much to contribute to the subject or I realize that few would care.

[anon48532061]

I am crying hahahaha!

I think this is a bad idea. Trusting in your gut is really important. It’s your inner voice pushing you to make decisions that would benefit your survival. So I can’t see why this cannot count as a solution…

[NeoFightTheNyophite]

All I’m saying is being told to trust my intuition took me essentially to psychosis thinking government psychic soldiers were going yo abduct me and I would survive an apocalyptic event during 2012. In theory yeah its a great idea but if a person does not have strong connections or is not grounded it could lead to some very big issues.

I was also like 14 or 15 but still.
