> The hallucinations are kind of fun, really. The only worrisome thing about them is their possible connection with mood swings which cause me to snap at loved ones or break perfectly good writing utensils. ;>

I bet that all of it - the hallucinations, moodiness, etc. - could be accounted for by inadequate sleep or perhaps some particular sleep disorder. The fact that you find them fun rather than freaky or terrifying suggests it's not a psychosis or anything like that.

> As for the magical beliefs, it would take too long to describe my entire belief system. I practice magic whenever I find it necessary, rather than just for fun the way some witches do. This makes me a Wittan rather than a Wiccan, according to books on the subject. I really do believe that spells work, but not usually in the way people expect them to work. For instance, a protective spell might cause your tormentor's car to crap out in a statistically improbable way. A spell for peace in your life might drive away a previously close friend, leading to the realization that this person had been pretty mean to you, anyway. The beliefs I question most have to do with omens; they smack of paranoia. I'm all the time seeing animals run by and thinking this is an omen and getting a tingly spine, hackles raised, etc..... only to find that nothing significant happens. Unless it's going to happen tomorrow..... or next month.....

Questions of faith? Nope, I don't know of any meds for that!
