Usually a more broad collection is better when it comes to research. Many small books are better than one thick. Why? You see more ideas, more analyzing, and the small details each throw in can paint another picture entirely. Rather than one solid book, and one author's perspective.

I know. I was just throwing it out there.

Chinese New Year today ^_^ Apart from Wicca, I do follow several parts of different things (as that's what makes me, me), and Chinese/Oriental beliefs fascinate me, so today has been fun for me. I may have not been able to celebrate it like they do in China, and it isn't really part of Wicca, but I still decided to do a few special things at home today.

Even if the majority of China is in harsh poverty you mean...

The best book I read was The Teen Spell Book by Jamie Wood. It helped a lot. I have not had any ceremonies yet but have started by Book Of Shadows. I have chapters at first for; Holidays, Simple words (this element that element), and Runes. Thought I should say it...

So, I have a topic for you guys to consider. Do you believe the saying in the Rede "Harm none" applies to the consumption of meat and dairy products? I just read something a non-Wiccan person wrote accusing Wiccans who do consume meat and dairy of blatantly disregarding yet claiming to follow the Rede because of the way the animals used in these industries are treating.

Personally, I think that there is nothing wrong with consuming meat and dairy. It is awful how some of those animals are treated, but I don't think you should be counted as being against the Rede if you eat a hamburger or put milk in your cereal.

What do you guys think?

When I think of that law in the faith, I think of the basic idea of yourself not causing harm to another, the actions of others that ultimately reach you do not count. It's what you do yourself, consuming meat and dairy is hardly harming another yourself.

Another reason I had to leave the faith-- I'm a fighter, a warrior. I have my instincts from what I was born under. I'm a figher-- I cause harm, and I know it.

So I just told my brother that I converted to Wiccanism and he yelled at me to get out and started hitting me with a small bible and keeps calling me a Satan worshiper...

I could be wrong here but, wait untill he calms down and try to tell him what it is really about and that you don't worship the Devil.If he still ack that way...give hm a book on Wiccanism and tell him to learn what it is himself.But I could be wrong about how to go about this....that is what I would do though.
