Fluffy Bunnies

There are many types of fluffy bunnies, some that are worse or better than others. Fluffy bunnies read one book or maybe two and suddenly consider themselves an expert. Or perhaps they got all their information off the internet and is TOTALLY misinformed. Though some fluffy bunnies are willing to be corrected, not all are. It's those that don't want to be corrected we have to worry about, because they will just turn around and teach their own twist on things to others, not allowing others to learn their own way with gentle guidance. They are frustrating, annoying, and a pain in the arse.

A good fluffy bunny, while allowing to be corrected, will also be respectful of other members and the one they approached. They admit errors, will allow facts to be corrected and are open minded to new ideas or viewpoints. These are the ones we don't mind having around, because they are excited but willing to grow and improve.

A bad fluffy bunny generally shows no respect for other members, is ALWAYS right on all believes and if you express how you believe and see things you will be corrected on it and told what is the truth. They use terms like "only close minded" or "those full of hate" to comment on who wouldn't agree with him. Some claim to have more power than they actually do (able to become something else, able to make bad spirits nervous, etc.) and cannot stand being in any position if it's not a leading role. They don't listen, and only hear what is said. They refuse to cooperate, or support, only putting in their own ideas.

This is why a year and a day of constant studying is SOOO important in the craft. It prevents you from becoming a fluffy bunny, No way will you learn all there is to learn from this amount of time, but you will learn enough to be able to participate respectfully among the other members, you will learn enough to where you're only making mistakes and not a fool of yourself.

Fluffy bunnies, you are not impressing anyone. When you step up claiming that you are such and such, those that are more experienced can see through you. We can see that you are full of it, we know our facts and often laugh at you rather than respect you when you do this. If you want respect, then you have to earn that respect both by being respectful in turn and actually knowing a little about what you are talking about. I know magick is exciting, but take the time to learn and you will be better for it!
