And but one word with one of us? couple it with
something; make it a word and a blow.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

There seems little point in practicing magic unless you want to do at least a few extraordinary things with this incarnation.
-Peter J Carroll, The Octavo

Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.
- Jim Butcher, Turn Coat

The starry-eyed idealists of today have submerged their critical faculties beneath a tidal wave of slop marketed by those old hippies who now sell a user-friendly dilution of their original enlightenment.
-Peter J Caroll, Psybermagick

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar
- Blue Öyster Cult, Astronomy

Offering's a complicated business.
- Jake Stratton-Kent

Another related point is that theological eclecticism to the tune of replacing this structure with pagan deities so it appeals to personal taste does the ritualist no favours as it undermines their ability to leverage a power dynamic that is better understood and has been employed countless times.
- Julio Cesar Ody, Magister Officiorum

Only fluffy bunnies need apply.
- Jake Stratton-Kent

"If you want the win, stay civil and stand in your invincibility."

- Gordon White, Rune Soup

You are certainly free to join whatever nineteenth-century swingers club masquerading as a magical order you like, but do it on your own time.
- Gordon White, The Chaos Protocols: Magical Techniques for Navigating the New Economic Reality

It took me more than ten years to begrudgingly admit to myself that meditation is the single best thing you can do to improve your health and your magic and that I should probably do more of it.
- Gordon White,The Chaos Protocols: Magical Techniques for Navigating the New Economic Reality

Now moves. Even in storytime, dreamtime, once-upon-a time, now isn’t then.

- Ursula K. le Guin

...the practioners of magic have always been syncretists, experimenting intraculturally and sticking with what worked.

In sleep,

Your hand clasps my wrist

As you slip deeper

I expect you to relax, release --

Instead you hold tighter;

Even in sleep , you hold fast.

I listen to the sound of your breath

And lay my head on your shoulder

I had a dream last night --
you took my hand and said to me:
Rise.

I think about you
Every single day --
If you're not
in my arms
I'm missing you

Last night,
just before sleep
it seemed you
were between us --
each with an arm
around you, at
shoulder and waist.
You were content,
and slept smiling
as I watched
the two of you
feeling whole.
