where the heck did Tvaan come from? i read the website, but am still clueless.

Cyrus the Great made it as something to pawn off on fluffy 'Wiccans' because it looks unique, and sounds cool, which is the only reasons why fluffs call themselves Wiccan anyways.

It started as a discussion between a few people, but Cyrus coined the term.

Wait... what?

What what?

I'm just trying to wrap my mind around the fact that people built a religion out of Cyrus' half joke and half "get the fluffies to leave Wicca alone" idea. But mostly I'm marveling at the fact that Cyrus may have just saved Wicca from culture rape for a very long time.

Good show, man. Wow.

My head can barely fit through my doors as it is guys gonk

I actually agree with you there. I never expected it to even be used more than once to be completely honest sweatdrop

what is Tvaan?

what is a thoughtform?

what is Tvaan?

what is a thoughtform?

Thoughtforms are creatures generated by the design of mortals, individually or as a group.

Tvaan was a title made in jest to mock folks who think they are of the Wica but aren't, and then was turned into a jumping off point for seekers- somewhat unsuccessfully.

Does Santa Claus count? I mean, the jolly, slightly chubby version of him that you find in Coca Cola commercials.

Yep.

Tsuzuki even knows of some Chaos Magicians who treat him as a god.

I consider the "rise of Tavaan" a charming idea if it helps those who follow the works of Cunningham and whovever else's non-Wicca. Think about it, how many arguments with fluff buckets clamiming to be Wiccans get to the point of "your path is valid, it's just not Wicca." For some reason, a lot of people need a title of some sort to feel valid.

As fo Santa being a thought form, Ho, Ho, Ho! twisted

Didn't Charity point out that Cunningham's book was Standing Stone Trad?

I found this in the book I'm reading, I wanted to ask what the guild thought of this terminology.

T. Thorn Coyle

A Witch begins with intuition, and the Magician with intellect, so though both practice the art and science of magic, the Witch relies more heavily upon the art, and the Magician upon the science.

would anyone in the guild hold this to be true? I know there are some people that feel there's nothing scientific about magic, but for the sake of argument, would this be a rough understanding of the difference between the terms Witch and Magician? Is there a difference between these terms? Thanks for the help!

This turn of phrase is most applicable in generic Neo-paganism. It largely references the roles as played out in Tarot and it's application to the Kabalistic Tree of Life and Aleister Crowley's definition of magic.

My personal reaction is to call it an appeal to authority though.
