I have a spellchecker for dyslexics that picks up most of the things I
spell badly, but not all..
Like most dyslexics I have a fascination with the written word, and a
vocabulary that is huge. Dyslexics are generally brighter than the
average and learn other skills to get them through the problems of
reading and writing.
Unless you are dyslexic you have no idea what the problems are, no more
than you could imagine being deaf, or disabled in some other way.
Dyslexia is something a lot of people suffer from in a mild form, mine
is medium, their are those who can never make sense of the written word.
Its not a problem that you can put right by study or practice. Its a
change in the brains structure... You learn to cope and to manage but
its not something you can change.
Dyslexics rule KO

I do see the world as marvellous, perhaps more than most, Magick is not
Walt Disney fireworks, its the use of natural skills, magick is like any
other talent its an art and a craft and can be learned.
Changing reality is something we all do in small ways, those who study
and use magick simply improve on an inborn talent.
It doesn't take ritual, words, it takes focus and concentration. I have
no time for delusions. I was taught how to use my mind and how to change
reality in a way I wanted it changed.. Like throwing a pebble in a lake,
the splash of the pebble is tiny, but the ripples carry on to the edge
of the lake.
Anyone can use magick, if they know how to use magick,
every time things go your way, and coincidences happen to favour you..
That is magick.. If things go wrong and you seem to be in a downward
spiral then that can be changed by magick.. Its a tiny amount of
pressure in the right place..
You really should not jump to conclusions about something you don't
understand, it shows a lack of imagination. Something that I would think
is necessary in a poet.
