- Kreeping OOzE FAQ #6: "Is magick 'real'? Give me an example of a 'spell'."
-
- --------
-
- The philosophical question of 'reality' can be argued forever.
- There are many people who do indeed find reality in magick.
- There are many who simply get all muddled and lost and cry.
- Most people who succeed in magick don't bother with this
- question after a while. It quickly becomes unimportant.
- Perhaps this is because they become Shoggoths. I'm unsure.
-
- This has been a spell.

- -----
- In an episode Start Trek The Next Generation, Worf undertook to provide
- spiritual teaching to a group of Klingon youths who had grown up outside
- of the Kingon culture. After finishing a great epic, one of the youths
- asked if these stories were actually true. Worf reflected for a moment
- and then replied:
-
- I have studied these stories for most of my life, and I
- continue to find new truths in them every time.
-
- I was immediately struck by the perfection of that answer.
