It seems we are the minority. I do things this way as well but I've been told I needed to learn to be more visual when I started out years ago... O.o

Whatever... LOL

Anyway, I never had trouble with going through feeling instead of vision and unless the teachers of this course have any objections I would say touch away. I did the exercises that way.

Hi Melissa,

I've just started lesson one as well. I'm a total novice, but I've done a lot of reading here and there and I personally resonate with the idea that there is no one *right* way to do things, only what works for you. I guess I'm a true solitary eclectic by nature. ;)

I know I've read a similar comment on some forum somewhere (not recently, or I'd give a link) - someone said they simply cannot see images in their mind but visualization is the foundation of magical work so what do they do?

The respondent, who had more experience, said she cannot see images in her mind either and she just repeats words over and over in her head to create word pictures. Take an apple for example - it's often used as a visualization exercise to help you get better at visualizing perfectly in your mind. Instead of seeing an apple she would paint a verbal picture - "the apple is red, blending into yellow, it has a perfect apple shape, a little short and wide, there is a short brown stem curving out the top." She said it works just fine for her. I think you just have to experiment to see what works for you.

Not everyone's brain works in the same way. Some people literally think in pictures! My husband does.

While I can visualize some things to some extent, I am, and have always been, highly verbal. I think in words and sentences. All day long my thoughts run through my head in words words words. Sometimes the words repeat like a broken record while I'm concentrating on something else! lol

Anyway, sit quietly within yourself and let yourself answer. If your brain will not allow you to see pictures in your mind, create word pictures.

Just figured out how I'm going to organize the notebook I'm keeping and finished lesson 2 assignment. I'm going to probably go on with the test tonight or tomorrow. I'm balancing this with a medical coding certificate course too, which is vital to my livelihood so its gotta take priority... and I'm already behind. ;-/

But I'm fiting in WS exercises so I'm good. ;-D

Merry Meet

I am due to take the lesson 11 test in 2 days and I am enjoying the studying and exercises. I am disabled and can't work so I have plenty of time to study and 'investigate' things on the internet and in books.

I am in a good and contented place at the moment and I feel that this is helping me.

Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to learn

Blessed Be and Bright Blessings to all!!

Hi. I'm on lesson 2. These lessons seem intense, so I was wondering if there was a time line on the tests, or if we could just take the test when we're ready. Blessed be!

I have just found and bought the book for the class and I can't wait to really get into all my exercises and rituals.. I have done a few so far from L1 and L2, and I'm looking forward to L3's New Moon ritual.. Blessed Be )o(
