OK. Done for the day.

I really have lost my writing endurance. Used to be, I could sit and write (serious writing, as opposed to LJ) for the whole morning, as opposed to somewhat over two hours.

I did expand it from four or six pages to thirteen, which is progress, definite progress. After I get it all written and organized, then I'll go back and edit. But I have pages and pages and themes and themes to go.

What should I put in a beginner's manual for magic, anyway?

I use this (http://www.spiritonline.com/files/messages/9/31.html?0) as a learning outline. Maybe that will help.

What exactly are you, anyway? How long have you been working/studying/practicing?

I used to be very interested in witchcraft, but I rushed ahead too quickly as a teenager and did some irreversible things. (Like a money spell which led my mother to gaining money and then losing her business. I don't know that that was what did it, but I think so.) My life since then has been increasingly negative. I'm going to work for about a year (so I think so far) just meditating and increasing positivity and studying so that anything I do is positive, not with a lot of negative return like my past has been. I also want to find a way to get all and any negativity from my family's house. There are tons of bad vibes here that I contribute to. Have you ever experienced any thing like this?

I'd say maybe a brief overview of various magical philosophies, like voodoo, santeria, wicca, strega, shamanism, shinto, asaratu, etc. Also an overview on divining skills, like tarot, mediumism, pendulum, oiuja, fortune sticks, bones,astrology, runes....doing maybe a brief paragraph on each item to give the basic jist of it.
I know you've got candle magic down to a T, but there's also string magic, kitchen witchery, tarot magic, sigils, etc...
