occult

Clothes always tranform emotion into matter. It's one of the bridges between the visible and the invisible. Some clothes can even be harmful because they were made for someone else, but have ended up in your hands.

Wicca, in Paulo Coelho's Brida.  

can't resist posting this as it concerns 'fashion' ..? i'm not digging the book. there are a few bingo quotes but for almost everything else i find it utterly repulsive. i really try to keep an open mind but i'm not going to pretend and go against my principles just cos most people seem to appreciate him. my colleague, who's a Christian and who i believe to be a discerning one, says this is a good book. i see scripture on the first few pages. but it's totally the opposite of what i'd expected as i read on.

i'll give him credit for how he waxes lyrical about Love and Soulmates; i can see why people would love him for the connection he makes there. i know i'd be sucked in by it all back then when i've fallen away. 

but, to twist the truths of scripture? i cannot accept that, Mr Coelho.
