Preface

CAVEAT: I am publishing from my own Book of Shadows. Everything you read within this section of "Wicca 101 @ Red Deer's & Elenya's" concerns MY beliefs - therefore, a very large "In my (never humble) opinion" stands before each of the writings accessed through this page.

CAVEAT: Please question what you find here... whether your questions lead you to agree or to disagree with my views is immaterial. That you ask them (of yourself, of me, or of someone altogether different) is the essence of learning. I believe that the sole functions of a mentor are to promote the asking of questions and then to facilitate their resolution. If any of my writings assist you in coming to your own belief about things, I'm honored - regardless of how similar or dissimilar your outcomes are from my own.

CAVEAT: I am ONLY publishing exerpts from my Book of Shadows which I believe may be of assistance to others, and which are NOT private. What I'm placing on-line is not a Grimoire - if you're looking for spells, I'll save you the trouble {g}... there are none here.
