The Alchemist

The Alchemist was a good book as well, but Illusions is still my favorite out of the the book list I was given. In the Alchemist he understands that he has a destiny to fulfill. A man appears to him and lets him know some of the options that he has. He ends up leaving everything behind to find this "treasure". This book teaches you to follow your dreams and goals.

Illusions

Illusions was a very good book. I learned more from it than I did from The Secret. In the book there is a Messiah. And he has all these powers to make things happen. Reading the book has made me realize a lot of things. It boils down to one quote that I have always loved. "Some people are only as happy as they make up their minds to be". Its a lot about mind over matter. And to realize that your life is not someone elses life. You will never live like someone else does. How happy you are depends on how you react to the things you have in life and how you make it. Its one of those books that touched me so much that I actually went out and bought the book so I could reread it.

The Secret

The secret was an interesting book. Its one of those books you don't really have to read all the way through. Each chapter basically goes over the same thing again and again. It basically means that if you want something in life all you have to do is imagine that its already yours. You have it within your power to manifest your desires. If you want something then all of the universe will conspire to make it yours. Which works great as long as you have no doubt whatsoever.

Samhain Circle

I went to Circle last night with a local coven. It was very interesting. I feel so lost though. No matter what I read I still feel like I don't have the hands on experience I would like. I learn a lot better when I do things hands on. It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to learn more. I'm a perfectionist at heart and I feel like that might get in the way of things. I know there are no set rules to Wicca though. I know a lot of people do things differently depending on how they were taught. Even reading books I feel like I'm not retaining anything. Time will tell though. I know I'm not going to learn everything at once.
