"Too true! Listening is the only true way to learn a language, books only take you so far, that's why it's useful and acceptable to use phonetic spelling with tricky languages like this it can really help."

"if your mom was Scottish and had any knowledge of Gaelic (which i think she was?) that makes perfect sense, but for a total non Gaelic speaker in English usage you can see how the spelling might cause problems! If they  pronounced as…"

"What an ignorant comment to make. Paganism is supposed to celebrate tradition, is it not? Is authenticity of no consequence? How about simple the respect? (You have offered me nothing but abuse with your dismissive "yawn", your use of the…"

About Me:
I am an extremely eclectic Pagan, combining Shamanism, Polynesian, Celtic, Hindu and Native American spirituality - and no, it's not so far apart as you may think.

I am also something of an activist within Paganism - I'm the webmistress of one of the first sites tackling the problem of bullying in a religious context, specifically what takes place in Pagan communities around the world.

A freelance writer as well, Tarot teacher and artist, I am a very busy woman.

Thank you for leaving a comment in my blog. Your idea is a good one. OneNote is a Microsoft Office program. It has alot of great features for brainstorming ideas and such. So far it is my favorite writers tool... next to my pen and paper. Unfortunately, publishers do not like to receive handwritten manuscripts. LOL!
