Hey Peeps, 
This month Hanny and Liz have an in-depth discussion about the statement that our wonderful friend Lynn made; 

"Centuries old practice is not learned on  TikTok.  Don't school others on lore you read "somewhere".  Chop wood, carry water puppies. There are no shortcuts." -- Lynn Parlett. 

During the discussion, we cover:

  • What is learning?
  • How adult learners differ for children
  • Wasps... yeah, there was an interloper or two!
  • How annoying being schooled is... and is it okay to 'school' people?
  • How readily available instruction is in the witchcraft community
  • Is caring about other people's practice a good use of our time?
  • Are there shortcuts we can take in our practice?
