But in my experience there isn't any reason to suspect that a more intelligent person is more capable of doing Magick. I'd say Magick comes from the spiritual essence of a person, and that intelligence and Will are not related. -------------------- Reside in the Void Be Vacuous Have No Mind

I find myself sliding in that direction with the encroaching old age and medical infirmities... Fighting words! That's about all I can fight with nowadays! grin But I'm not all that intelligent either sigh so....where does that leave me? I've never thought of you(all) as being the derogatory side of 'armchair' though it does tend to cause some to bristle. Lifes too short. Find magic where you will. Looking down at people is not a good thing (gasp)...this isn't or needn't be a pissing contest. Again, life is too short! I'm glad we have our sense of humor, I always get a chuckle when I look in a mirror! Be well!
