[SB-Greendance]

I am a Pagan who utilizes learning tools from many different traditions, including yours. My primary interest there is in animal totems, and I usually ride the web for free information from knowledgable individuals. Living all my life in a rural environment, I can relate to and better understand the lessons learned from animals than any of the Anglo Tarots. A skunk can tell me a lot, a 4 of cups means nothing to me. I am not trying to join or honor you. I am not even trying to learn from you. I simply utilize some of the same tools in my own learning. I do know some New Agers who go about throwing money around to buy anything from dream-catchers to crystals to pre-prepared candles for rituals. I still haven’t figured out what they are gaining from it, hopping from one tool to the next without serious study of any of them. But perhaps this is what you are talking about when you mention the money thing. I use a lot of candle magick in my craft. I do not sell or even give away rituals, nor do I cast spells on anybody who has not given me permission to do so. Yet go into any New Age store and anybody can purchase a candle magick ritual for love. This goes against everything I believe in, yet all I do is shake my head and sigh. Maybe I mention it to the proprietor of the store. But I do not begrudge the buyer or the seller for using something they do not understand. Here is how I see it. The seller is out for a buck, the buyer is desperately grasping at straws. I can’t change either of them. What I can do is concentrate on myself and my own emotions regarding the situation. Perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss the anger you are feeling with an elder that you respect.
