You'll have a hard time "getting anything back" if all of your actions are based around what's in it for you. Not that people don't live like that, but this is a website. People are much more subject to free choice due to the anonymity of everything, so chances are you will run into those who just take and take and take from you.
Real magick and learning comes from practicing... not sitting around here whining or waiting for someone to feed you answers. I'm sure people log on, get what they want, and leave. I'm reading your posts and I see your points, but I don't see you doing anything about it here. It just sounds like you're sad that no one chimes into your posts and tells you how great your information is. What I have read of your posts via the [HISTORY] tab (most of which are here, so I don't have much to go off, I apologize), you're not saying anything particularly new or adding that extra oomph to what you say to add your true personal spin on things.
I also see that you've contributed 65 spells but they're mostly (I honestly didn't check them all) private :( I'd love to see more spells on here that actually work, instead of mermaid stuff lol. Maybe that's why no one has noticed your stuff? Get out there and push yourself XD The more sources we have input from, the better :D (and your spells actually look practical and useful, which I love)
Well your kinda right, but I am not in it for fame. The reasons why I dislike people not looking at my posts is because people are to busy reading posts like "How to Become a Mermaid" or any other kind of vampire, werewolf, (used of been 2012), and other useless posts. I am kinda sure that my other posts, besides this one, aren't like those. That is one reason why I dislike people looking away from my posts.
The reasons for the spells was because the covens they are in wanted them to be private, not even I can look at them because I am not in the covens anymore. Besides I do try to go into some covens to lead them spells, but the owners of them don't see them very useful and put me as a member (sometimes a member can not add spells). I don't want to be on the spell casters coven because most of the spells there are lost ones and a lot of fake, Unless that Mod plan worked a long time ago.
I like got lost on here tho... But the truth is that I got bored of doing nothing and I wanted to see what others think and how I can combat it. Yeah it does sound rude but I do try to understand the persons points. I had fun and I hope none of you take this as just me hating and just a centered guy.
The first paragraph about the mermaid thing...
That's just pure ignorance, the best way to combat that is to pretty much do what we all do and hope they GET A CLUE AND START READING THE GOOD STUFF. We also tend to reply to threads like that setting the readers straight, telling them why it's not true and how to understand true magick.
What you said about the covens, here's some more advice from someone who's been there...
They, the leaders, go for people who do more than just feed random spells, or just simply give a bit of input here and there. The Priest(ess) of a coven wants people on their council that can teach and show they have a good understanding of the coven meaning and a fair understanding or rules. Covens like SpellCasters aren't very credible because of how easy it is to become council (there, everyone's council for goodness sake). Go to a credible coven, apply, wait to get accepted and if you do prove that you're knowledgable. Get to know your members, take charge of your own future, don't wait for someone to read your spells and then read your mind and decide you'd be good for council.
Btw, everyone is set as a member when they first join except in SpellCasters. Also, members never can add spells, only council and leaders.
We know you're not trying to be offensive, we're just saying that you shouldn't ask for so much.
Great things always happen to the unexpected.
Who knows, if you get into a coven you might have a chance to prove yourself right off the bat, some covens have "Council Applications" where you answer a few questions and they judge your answers.
The mermaid thing was something I saw a long time ago, I don't see that kind of stuff much now but still. Just like when the 2012 posts came out with members saying that demons will come out and attack the earth. Forgot about the name but still. Almost everyone was with it and only little wasn't.
About the coven thing with the spells, I don't just feed random spells, I feed protection and ways to cure curses. The point of being a member, and I know we all start out as one until we can show that we can take on higher level, is to learn from others and try to share what you know. But I don't want to be a post of a spell that will sooner be forgotten. I understand that I sound like an jerk by saying what I said. But really mostly everyone else can help each other there and the only way I can help is with the spells I have so they can be protected better.

For the record, currently about 2000 unique members visit the site each day add to that another 3000 non-members visiting each day. Over 100,000 pages are viewed on the site each day.
That is each and every day. Each day 100 new people sign up as members, and of those that do not 95% return the next day.
Day by day, week by week, month by month and year over year those numbers just keep improving.
All these people seem to find this site useful, and dare I say great. If you do not then maybe you are part of that 5% that never return and you should do what they did... leave.
Be like all the banished, unwanted losers from the site and go start your own.... try it for yourself, see how easy it must be, since they are all so successful as Spells Of Magic. Implement all the features you think would make your 'great' site. I dare you. Create such a wonderful community that all the members from here swarm to your much superior site.
And until you do shut up, when I want your childish, uneducated opinion I will ask for it.
If you see nothing is different than it was Before, why dont You try to change everything?? It is not entirely the task of a Priest and Priestess and the Council Members to think of other lessons that would entertain a group... Everyone has there own part in a Coven... Know that if you are a member your duty is not just to learn and learn and be fascinated by the facts the people are feeding you... There are few people in here who teach what they have learned, who helped others if they cant manipulate a matter... Learn from them, learn to stand and not just follow what others tell you... As you grow up. you face the facts about Spell Casting and about Reality, dont just sit down and wait for a Sign.... Create something, Help someone... Dont waste time waiting for someone to entertain your minds... And know that it is not the Responsibility of the Priest, Priestess and Council Members to do that!!
Well I think it is just pointless tho... Pet thinks I am a child but I could really care less about that. Most people think that I am really someone that doesn't know what he is talking about and wants everything without hard work. And a few just don't really care. You can say what you want but I really just don't care. That 5% pet is talking about are the people who have lots of time in their hands to log on, post, chat on the site for as long as they really stay on for. I may as well stay off of here and the only thing that I will be missing out on is talking to people that think they know a lot and people that ask questions about switching bodies with other people. And hey, none of you guys really have the right to make me leave, you have the right to say it but not really do it. But of course that is what you all think and do.
On the contrary, we're all beginners in some way. None of us know everything or nearly everything about magick. Neither of even know ABOUT everything there is to know about in magick, there's always another category or practice we haven't heard of.
We're all beginners. A few of us know this;
so you're not only talking to people who THINK they know a lot, or people who just ask ignorant questions, but people who know what their talking about every now and then as well!
Just so you know,
Pet has every right remove your tail from this website in that he created it. If he really doesn't like you, I mean hate you beyond recall, he can make you go bye bye. If you break 9 rules each 15 times, he can make you go bye bye. So you can't say none of us, Pet's self aware, he's a person, he qualifies as ONE OF US.
The rest of us don't have much on you though, besides the mods, they could always just silence you. >|
I don't mean to sound harsh or bark up a tree that might bark back, I'm just saying that you are generalizing way more than a lot of us are comfortable with.
I wander why we keep arguing with you... >|
