You look like you take yourself so seriously that you use the word "whom" correctly and make sure everyone around you knows. But, in today's environment, there are some

As anyone who has gone through the process can tell you, law school is an interesting look at how we approach problems and conflicts as a society.

As the year of will draws to a close, I've been coming across something in my magical journey that I wanted to share because, surprise surprise, I have a bit of an unorthodox take on it. Specifically, the Bodhisattva Vow. I've now met a few practitioners that took it on and I feel led to discuss why I've rejected it personally. If you want to know the Vow itself, Wikipedia has a great article on the various formations and applications throughout history. But, at a very curs
