Hm.

Feeling a lack of ownership of this space for just a bit, which I'll get over when I have the time. But: doing well, garden rocks, and I miss the SO.

SO, I love you!

Now back to my really cool book, The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down, about culture clash within the medical system.

Thanks, estrellada, for some interesting non-fiction. I'd given up on it existing.

Great. Another language that other people know that I do't. ;)

Fortunately there aren't very many words in it. You'll pick them up quickly.

Here's two more:

"Deosil" (pronounced, roughly, "djeshil") is clockwise
"Widdershins" (pronounced exactly as it looks) is counterclockwise.

I know 'widdershins' thanks to Andre Norton.

Yay!

Science fiction and fantasy are great for vocab building :)

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

And especially for mis-vocab building. That is, learning the wrong, made-up meaning for real words. :>

[breklor.livejournal.com]

YAY! That's the best. Especially with small children.

Remind me to lend you and K (for some reaons it has possessed me that HE has to read this, and you will get a kick out of the house plant blessing) the Earth-Magic book I'm reading around HP... It has some of the terminology books, but none of the heavy pagan theory in it...tho I could prolly lob some of those at you :)

[saxifrage00.livejournal.com]

Yes, that *does* sound interesting...

Re:

Okay, I'll set it aside when I'm done reading it...or maybe, if I get a certain book a certain someone else keeps promising me first, I'll just lend this to you and finish it later ;) (Ilm feeling the need to read more magical theory, anywho, though reading magical anything is prolly good for my pagan-starved brain these days.)

Hey, you, I've got a couple of books on magic theory, including Bonewits' "Real Magic". Still reading it, but you're welcome to it when I'm done.
