new.

 

Thank you so much for all this information...I need to get some books on this

I have been Dianic for many years

 

In my years of practice I have noticed that my spiratuality falls a little

short of self disCipline. Its all about balance I know and I often wonder if my

Dianic

tendencies are out of balance. This does not change my mind but it makes me

wonder from time to time.

5. Re: ancient vs modern wisdom

 

Whenever a spiritual discipline suggests that we don't read any other source of

learning, the hackles on the back of my neck begin to rise and I am reminded

of all the other religions that want to put braces on our brains. so my answer

is read everything and rely on your inner Goddess to interpret what you

read.

 

blessed be
