I need advice

[WaterChaMer]

Merry Meet,

I am Watercharmer, but I believe I am going to meet someone who knows me from a past life who will call me by my real name :) So Watercharmer it is for now :)
Paganism as always been open to me but I always chose a different Path to follow, from about 16 to 24 I was on a learning quest, to learn only what I needed to know about any one Cult/Religeon Etc. Then between 25-36 I did nothing fell it on the existance of working my years away...for 11yrs i just veggitated in the manmade world and lost all contact with the real world (if that makes sense) it was in 1999 a friend bought me a book called The Celestian Prophecy and it was like switching on a light inside me, but I only read part of the book up to the Sixth Insite , my friend ran a Celestian Prophecy workshop but this was not for me, I was still searching for something and this was not it! . My partner told me he knew Reiki, and showed me how to see my Aura properly, within a few hours I excelled at it...I was making it rain thousands of colours - from my hand onto his Chest, imagine a lake when its raining! my hand was the cloud and his chest was the lake, thats good - but not what I was looking for either, then something brought me here to this site, I am pagan always have been just would never acknowlege it, I am a total novice or am I,

This is what I need advice on:

as I was leaving home a 5 of months ago to go to work (this is before I knew what Wicca was) an old African woman cursed me for what reason i'll never know. straight away something took control of me....well not control ..it was like I knew how to react to protect myself from this curse and I caught it, doubled it and sent it back with a force that could almost kill... all in one movement,

I lifted the curse a few days ago but I'm not going to tell you what it was I sent her back, I've got this new found abillity what do I do with it, I've read about wands and Athames and I only need to use my hands to cast spell (not that I've tried yet) but I need advice, I dont want to injure anyone intensionally but I know I can.....HELP

I'm not exactly sure what it is that you want advice on...... it sounds like you have some really powerful tallents that you should explore and learn how to use. Read books, search through the posts on the website, ask questions, and really learn before you practice. If you're concerned about hurting people then that's your best bet. Find out what you can do, and how, before you do it.

Good luck!

Amethyst Rose is of course absolutely right.

Next time, think more carefully what you're doing. In the meantime, educate yourself.

Probably because Paganism and magic have been open to you for years you're already open to the natural talents that are within all of us. Mind, though, that you don't have to be Pagan to do magic - if you want study more about Paganism and see if one path feels right, and if not, *shrugs*

Incidentally while the Celestine Prophecy is interesting you might get use from reading more Pagan or Wiccan books - see our Books forum for recommendations. There's a wealth of information out there for you to sift through.

Thank you both for your feedback, I've a lot of reading to do :)

Like I said before Scott Cunningham. Great man. (that is if you want to follow wicca or close to it.)
