Biblio Fu

When I type in a word Google doesn't know (Turuilan) the results no longer give an option  to choose between what I typed in and what it recommends.  Now it just shows results for what it decides that I must mean.  You know, like closed minded people.  People forget, Google only knows what People uploaded into it's knowledge base.  And in this day and age anyone with zero credentials and any intent (to inform or mislead) can upload and add to the knowledge base.  Between that and the missing information (yet to be uploaded) it renders Google and the internet veritably useless to any serious researcher.  Sometimes you still have to use the Dewey Decimal System to track down a source and crack a book.

Genius

The thing about genius is that it often gets misunderstood, especially in the Magical community of writers.

You see, real inspiration and true genius bubbles over,  running down the sides of the cauldron, spilling over the ordinary banal rules of grammar.  And sometimes a misspelled word or violations of grammars parameters is a direct message from the Higher Self or Spirits.

I see it ever so often that one tome or another is overlooked because of the total disregard for syntax, spelling or punctuation.  Sometimes editors will even tell horror stories of such submissions. 

If your brain can't sort out a run on sentence then perhaps your brain is on autopilot.

Some of the most exciting books I've ever read and that are equally potent when put into practice, are not popular books.

Not because I'm "edgy" but because I love learning and pushing the envelope of Self Discovery.  

So next time you get excited about a Grimoire and the nay sayers try to steer you away or distract you: remember that true genius breaks the rules and is rarely recognized by its contemporaries.
