So , by reading the title of this post , I guess some of you might catch my meaning and understand , and there are some who would not . What do I mean by 'Be like Gandalf: Mix with the Hobbits , Dwarves and Elves' ? To put into terms that everyone would understand , in the show , The Lord of the Rings , Gandalf is actually a high Spirit (some sort of high level being) , older than the Elves themselves and are the ones who took part in the shaping of the Middle Earth . If you read more about Gandalf , he's acually a Maiar spirit , a helper of the 'Deity' in the Lord of the Rings , Eru Illuvatar . So he is actually far more superior than the Elves themselves but he came down to the Middle Earth in the form of a Wizard and thus , his abilities are being restricted . Although he is a high being , he doesn't show that arrogance and say:" Hey , why should I stoop and help such lowly beings like those elves , hobbits and dwarves ? Why should I ever mix with these fellows and dance and sing and drink and merry make with them ?" He doesn't do that at all . Rather , he enjoy the company of the 'lowly beings' and make merry with them and drink and dance and enjoy .
So , what have all these to do with today's topic ? There are practitioners who have attained a high level of realization in their practise and I know some of them who would have that attitude like "Hmmmmm....why should I stoop low to these silly practise of these lame people ?" Yes , these are reality and saddly , I unfortunately know some practitioners who think overly too highly of themselves and not stoop for a while and enjoy .
So what if you have practice such potent practises and regard the mixing of herbs and potions as mere useless elixirs and the writing of charms as a limited way of magick and speaking of chants and mantras speaking foolish tongues whereas , they , can will power with a single thought and cause the Earth and the spirits to tremor at their powers . Well , sometimes the speaking of incantations , the making of charms , the mixing of herbals and potions , which are regarded lowly to these powerful practitioners , are sometimes , enjoyable and gets you in touch with the beings of the Earth . It's grounding to put it this way . I don't know , it's just a feeling that brings to mind the rainbows and the still lakes , the flowing streams and the night when the mooons are full . The thought of dancing fairies and elves and dwarves ...such enchantment and such sugar like sweetness and such earthliness . Just a thought .
It is such a wonder to be in touch with such .
(No offense of whatever is meant to anyone by this post.)
