Grumpy.

Moved all my altars around today. Cleaned everything. We'll see what that does, if anything. Should smudge the apartment while I'm at it.

One of my bulletin boards has a "Circle of Teaching", which has very unqualified "teachers" "teaching" various pagan subjects online. The Celtic Wicca course is making me gag. Today the teacher for that course cut and pasted 11 screen lengths of "ritual bathing" info online. I'm sure all of it was taken from some website somewhere. Likewise with her "Gods and Goddesses" thread; I'd hope that some people would cover their online thievery with a little formatting at least, but it seems not. I also wish if they're gonna play cut and paste they'd source the information, other than "It's in my Book of Shadows".

I ground my teeth a little harder observing that another "teacher" of a different course took that entire cut n' paste thread and cut n' paste it into her own forum.

My tolerance for online ecclecticism is dropping lower and lower. Of course, disagreeing with the fluff-heads makes me a hardass. Feh. I suppose if I'd wanted to be happy I'd have stayed ignorant - you know, that whole ignorance is bliss thing.

Ok. Off again. Gonna bake some cookies.

I've always found the "ignorance is bliss" bit doesn't allow us to grow in the long run. Sometimes knowledge can be a poison, I know... *shrugs, braindead*

Thanks for the reading the other day. I owe you one.

This may help the grumpy a bit: Saw a bumper sticker the other day. It said "if ignorance is bliss you must be orgasmic." I really want to use that quote on some of the fluffy bunny threads.
