Well, I finally got around to writing my first "Magic Scroll," something I wanted to do for a long time, because I felt that doing so would make me feel more like a mage. As for what I wrote in it, I wrote the following, which I wish to share with the SM community here. I hope you all find it useful!
I now present to you, the Scroll of the Xenomancer
And let it be known that the highest of truths be that which begets the following axiom: "Two are always enamored with the first," let it be.
Body houses mind, which guides spirit, which animates body, which houses mind... From this, Nature comes forth. Let it be.
And the processes of energy generate in the following cycle: Body energizes mind to project Psi, the raw manifestation of Focus. Mind energizes spirit to project Magick, the raw manifestation of Will. Spirit energizes body to project Qi, the raw manifestation of Life. This is the path of Nature.
The body shelters the spirit, which disciplines mind, which guides body, which shelters spirit... From this, discipline comes forth. Let it be.
Body channels spirit, and begets word. Spirit tempers mind, and begets thought. Mind guides body, and begets deed. This is the path of Discipline.
Let there be one in all, and all in one. Let there be whole, lest there be none.
There is a triangular chart to show this, but I have not made one in MSPaint yet. Comments on this bit of wisdom are appreciated!

¡HA HA! ¡ESTOY USANDO EL INTERNET!- Never learn the Art of Sword before the Art of Dance. - Celtic Proverb- Even with spiritual power, an unchecked ego will only seek to deify itself. - Frank MacEowen- One cannot traverse waters without causing waves. - Xenomancer- I find it interesting that we as scholars of metaphysics have no problem discussing the intricacies of the threads of reality, but when it comes to the things that really matter, we forget them. - Xenomancer- This world is your home. We have a mix of everything here. If you want better, make better. There's no rule of going elsewhere for the tools. That's what magick is about. - Xenomancer
