Fancy title, could write a book based off of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

After my time with the G.D I'm hoping to join a priestly class/school to better help them and their cause but after attending their meetings and I'm quite proud to say being asked to join (strokes ego) I have been wondering as to the diffrence between myself and my priestly compadres, between what I do now and what ever it is they get up to .lol. They use the tree of life but have a very much diffrent understanding of it all, they don't use the paths for some reason but variations aside its obvious that as much work a person does as a G.D'ist that they aren't priests... they're magicians, I sit with them and although I probably do more work than they do I am a magician and they're priests.

Guess that its in the docrine, they are of a certain school of understanding and relate to things from wthin that understanding whereas I am ''free'' to attach which and what I will to my practice as long as it falls within a certain relationship with everything else, their studies include relating to the world from a certain religious view point, mine does not. Still... I'm not sure about the rest of the grades ahead of mine but I'm quite sure that a practicioner could stick to a Juedo christian outline throughout the grades, at least for the majority of it... does that then make said person a, ''priest''?

Can't quite put my finger on it, sitting with them I feel almost lesser than they are, kind of suits me fine as I like to have broad understanding of things, not one to be stapled to a view point anyway... to get to the point;

Whats the diffrence between a Priest and a Magician?

Peace
