- 1) There are no stupid questions.
-
- 2) No. But don't worry about the obscure language. You wouldn't let
- that stop you from learning about, say, quantum mechanics or, say,
- setting up your VCR, right? And this is a lot more interesting. It's
- simply a matter of becoming acquainted with the vocabulary. After
- awhile it stops being obscure and starts to become blinding and mysterious.
-
- 3) Yep. There is no way to learn any of this *except* on the job, so
- to speak.
-
-
- On the other hand it is, a priori, impossible to understand magick. ;-)
