godhi On the "expert versus master" debate, I would like to mention that although I've studied magic, mysticism, and the occult for over thirty years and have practiced Norse galdhr and seidhr magic since 1987, I'm by no means a master of my craft. In fact, I consider myself a journeyman shaman at best and believe that anyone under the age of sixty who has not spent most of their adult life in the study of their craft and yet call themselves a "master" is either a fool, a charlatan, or both. An adept, possibly. At that age, definitely not. However, I stand by my "she was using words she doesn't understand, she was ignorant in the extreme so of course she was a master" judgement. For someone to run away so easily, from a mortal..... This person claims to be able to traffic with dragons..... Am I the only person seeing a reality paradox here?

godhi reagun ban TeaDidikai This may be bias as Emerald Dragon Reiki calls one who has their second attunement an Adept. master >> expert I am an expert programmer. I am not a master On the "expert versus master" debate, I would like to mention that although I've studied magic, mysticism, and the occult for over thirty years and have practiced Norse galdhr and seidhr magic since 1987, I'm by no means a master of my craft. In fact, I consider myself a journeyman shaman at best and believe that anyone under the age of sixty who has not spent most of their adult life in the study of their craft and yet call themselves a "master" is either a fool, a charlatan, or both. I'm inclined to disagree with the application of years to talent and titles.
For example- sometimes titles such as Master and Adept are earned at different levels of proficiency.
Case in point mentioned above. First attument in EDR is neophyte, Second attunement is Adept, Third is Master.
I became a Master of Emerald Dragon Reiki when I was very young. But then, it wouldn't be accurate to have withheld the title of Master after my third degree.
