“Entrance into the Old Ways begins with the pricking of a finger with a rose thorn, which produces a drop of blood. This opens the way into the Thorned Path, a system, which uses five rose thorns to symbolize the five arts of Witchcraft that one should master. These arts are Herbalist, Fortune-Teller, Spirit Medium, Mystic, and Magician. We call mastering these aspects 'the gathered thorns' --thus the Thorned Path.” WayShouldArtUseSpiritPathFiveBloodProduceMastersAspectRoseFortuneFingersMediumsMagicianWitchcraftMysticThornsEntrancesOld WaysFortune Teller Author:Raven Grimassi
“The just man is not the product of a day, but of a long brooding and a painful birth. To become a power for peace, a man must first pass through experiences which lead him to see things in their different aspects: it is necessary that he have a wide horizon, and breathe various atmospheres--in a word, from crossing, one after another, paths and points of view the most diverse, and sometimes the most contradictory, he must acquire the faculty of putting himself in the place of others and appreciating them.” MenFirstsLongDifferentSometimesJusticeViewsPathProductsBirthAspectAppreciatePainfulVariousWideBreathePoint Of ViewAtmosphereAcquireFacultyHorizonDiverseContradictoryCrossingsBrooding Book:Justice Source: Justice

“Some other people think that awakened consciousness is really about fullness or presence, being completely present for every moment, but these experiences are only one of the dimensions of awakened consciousness. Understanding these different dimensions as facets of awakening can help with the confusion surrounding the different spiritual paths.
