- Here is another Wolfe chiming in to howl along with the chorus of folks
- saying that labels are best when selected for oneself!
-
- I am depressingly amazed at the number of (otherwise) intelligent folks
- who don't bother to do the basic research necessary to understand what
- they are getting into when they pick up a new avocation.
-
- No matter what you are going to do, there are plenty of basic
- introductory books (you know, those things with words printed on paper!)
- that provide the history and basic vocabulary for the topic.
-
- Any one of a number of the "standard" works (Adler, Drawing Down the
- Moon; Starhawk, The Spiral Dance; etc....) covers the basic vocabulary.
