"We must get rid of the life we planned so as to have the life
that is waiting for us."
-Joseph Campbell
SPIRITUAL CLEANSING GEAR
& OTHER RITUAL TOOLS
My personal belief is that ritual is very powerful regardless
of the exact tools you employ. I'm not saying you shouldn't study or care about procedure; just
don't get so dogmatic or hung up in the details
that you fail to start or wind up blunting
your efforts with complicated rules. The intent is what counts the most;
intuition, experience and personal taste will
help guide the rest. Many people use a "shotgun approach" or multiple items at the same
cleansing, but what is important is the the fact that you do
something.

"I won't do
commercials either.
I don't want to sell
anything. As an
actor, it's
tricky. You have this
platform and it has
to do with your face,
your charisma.

-
It's
tricky when you
endorse something
because people are
liable to believe
you. Be careful."

So Pheebs, what do you want for your birthday?
Phoebe: Well, what I really want is for my mom to be alive and enjoy it
with me.
