Lylia nodded to Blaze respectfully. Whoever wanted to be leader of this<em>trouble-just-waiting-to-happened</em>needed respect for the luck they had faith in.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">“Would you like to look at the proposed first location for the healing center with me? Perhaps we can discuss healing matters some more as well?” </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>To catherine's question Lylia agreed soon they were in the middle of the glade Blaze pointed out talking of the healing aspects the arcane craft provides<br/><br/><br/><strong>"Anyone can work the arcane, what most people don't get is that the skill is a perspective not some sacred list of phrases and rituals. For if the ability was due to sacred rituals and phrases - from where or who did the first arcanists get to know them ? Rituals and props and phrases simply aid focus, just like happy music helps to stay lighthearted but is no means necessary. <br/><br/>I am happy to change these trees so they form a shelter - or work as needed however if your interested in knowing the arcane its just practice with three things<br/><br/>First visualize in great detail what you want - having a painting of what you want helps - if you don't force-yourself in the mood as if it is already true religiously.<br/>Second force yourself to interpret everything concerning it as an aspect of your visualizations ALREADY working - never as proof of it not. Wanting something while also juggling negativity on the same topic is actively creating it presence and activity creating its negation at the same time - a mistake those learning find a hard stumbling point. <br/><br/>Think it true. Feel its true, live its true. Like water moving over new rocks - your visualiseations become a valley source energy finds as a path of least resistance to  fill. How much power you channel relates to how deep the valley is compared to others nearby. How much energy there is around a place is always a great deal more than your valley can pass regardless of how good you are. That is why arcanists are usually tertorial - or in not actively organises themselves so visualiations are shared and not competing and why witches circles form - and rogue witches on an area repelled. <br/><br/>Literally you can change reality - no magic skill, is a natural process most forget to teach. Music and props help - especially if your learning to stop entertaining negativity or doubt in your ability. I specialise in life, some specialise in rocks or water or weather or minds, the list goes on. Try and specialise quickly - choose something you relate to in a positive way, not something you want control over because you feel that it opposes your energy. <br/><br/><br/>The third is simple - know your a channel for reality and <strong>you </strong>created it, don't attribute it to some higher source or something etheric - as doing so makes you dependent on you feeling in alignment with that, in short a servant. Priestesses do so, compared to arcanists, they sacrifice some visualization flexibility for improved extension of the values of their faith. Doing so is not wrong, it just makes you a priestess - its a different path. Same skill however, just a different lean and interpretation of why and how. Priestesses however can be incredibly powerful as they can form arcanic circles, which they call sacred circles with other priestsess of their faith with more ease than two arcanists could, mainly because their specialty matches so closely.<br/><br/>When learning always surround yourself with positive people OR nature, ideally both. I can help you learn these skills if you want, or teach those who do. Just say the word."</strong><br/><br/>Lyria looked around the glade.<br/><div align="center">(http://www.edensgarden.se/sprookjesbos.gif)<br/></div><strong><br/>"You know what ? perhaps we may all starve in a month, perhaps, but thats later. Now, <em>now </em>this place is lovely, it is magic. If we don't despair we can make something here. If we are to live beyond a month we will likely need to trade with human populous, for that we need something to trade that they want. This would also let them feel our presence here is beneficial not some danger in the making."</strong><br/>
