Comment on Give Your Symbols Power by dsgetch

Lance is like a lot of people I know in the pagan and wiccan communities. He wants to believe that symbols have power in the theoretical sense. He’s not comfortable allowing those same symbols to have power in the real world.

Norway called him on that. If Lance wanted to have powerful symbols in his life, he couldn’t just pick and choose the ones that comforted him. It’s an all or nothing proposition. Either symbols have power, or they don’t.

Also, he was saying that we don’t give up our power over symbols when we accept their power. We still filter reality through ourselves. That means the power of the symbols in our lives is filtered through us as well. So, if you write off something in the real world as “just a symbol,” you lose the power of that symbol.

Nice!

I love how the writing you’ve done has condensed and supported this – it’s almost become a throw-away aside, but makes it all rooted and believable… hmm, could make one believe in writing backstory….

So, I can be hopelessly literal at times… does Norway mean it’s not so much about the symbol, but the interpretation of it? That Lance can choose the significance as opposed to accepting a traditional meaning?

I’m proud of you, I’m proud of us. I hope that we will soon reach a critical mass. Defending our brothers and sisters against those who abuse us should be the norm. In this present day it takes courage.

I was on the edge of my seat hoping you’d find your way out without having to confront the circle again. Nice natural build in.
