Quint-Essence

I was watching "The United States of Hoodoo (2012), which is about U.S. Voudun, more so, than Hoodoo.  This was the first time I heard another Sorcerer say, it makes your life worse!  I have told many people the same (as have many witches, witchdoctors, hoodoos, witchmasters, braucherei, 'two-heads', 'conjures',) etc. have said for many generations.   People expect wealth, recognition, earthly gain.  I'd say the best part is that you realize that most things are without merit in this life and that knowledge and wisdom are more priceless, than material things.  The ability to create from the eternal void (the first source and the indefinable) is a better reward, than all the rewards of 'human' belief.   And laughing at people who want a physical 'show', when there are worlds/universes of gnosis outside the mundane.  Those who see need no explanation and those who do not, can't be given an explanation... And regardless of current or old belief, many do not chose it (Fata).
