So, can you imagine my shock when the first thing I posted was shot down by the "my name means the law" moderator? Seriously. My first post ever anywhere on this website and I was greeted with,

"okay, what exactly are you trying to convey?"
And then proceeds to discount and show contempt for the sonar druid twin words just because they weren't lexigrams. Do you know, I actually felt attacked! And I got mad. I wrote back all kinds of things which I then deleted, having had to repeatedly tell myself "don't take this personally". Isn't that wierd? So I did my best to respond cordially, but I still felt like I had to defend myself, and that i had to fight for the sonar twins - pointing out that Linda considered all the other word wonders special, too - not just lexigrams.

Why didn't the moderator just say, "what does that homophone mean to you?" Really. It would have been so much more friendlier and encouaging. I would have felt more like i was coming to the right place for a linda goodman star signs site. An elation-relation. But instead it was the opposite, and on the earth-heart mystery too which just made it worse. Why all the shooting down, the minimizing, the confrontational tone, the blatant and obvious refusal to even acknowledge the validity of the other word wonders Linda wrote about. Why?

I tried visiting other forums instead, not feeling comfortable here, and I even posted a couple times elsewhere, but I love words and this is the only forum for words, so I had to come back. And then I saw the earth-heart mystery thread locked. And I wondered what happened, why was the heart closed? I don't know, apparently some cords were being cut loose. Please open the earth-heart again.

And please start a new forum for other word wonders. Please. Really. This is the forum for lexigrams and the moderator knows the rules. But there are other word wonders that need their own forum with a different moderator that Glows-Knows those word druids and their word rules in the heart, not the letter of the law.

It's really strange to come to a Linda goodman fan site and see a moderator in charge of the lexigrams that discounts Linda, doesn't know the word Druids, and minimizes all the other word creations. It really doesn't make any sense at all. How could it even be allowed to happen? I've gone through several threads and, by what the moderator has written, it seems she/he is actually an opponent of Linda goodman instead of a fan or someone who shares something in common. The only thing that the moderator seems to have in common with Linda (or anyone else here), is just straight lexigrams. And then only in a way that seems to sap the creative life out of them.

This is very wierd for me. I'm new here, I don't know what's going on, only that it feels wrong. And it is. There is something wrong with a fan site that puts down the author and constantly expresses disapproval when the fans actually start spiraling beyond lexigrams.

And it's wierd for me to be someone new on a forum who seems to be putting down the moderator. Who does that? So I was worried about posting what i did, thinking i'd probably get banned. it's just that I know Linda would not approve of her name and works being associated with this. How can the website owner not see this? How can anyone who understands Linda's works not see this?

You know, I really love words. One of the first books I ever read was a dictionary. It was a nice, thick black book with a cool map on the inside showing the geographical roots of various languages. Of course, I only read it because my mom made me and, granted, initially it was only read one word and definition at a time, whatever word that I just absolutely had to know everything about right then and there, especially "what it means", then "what That means". I continued to use that dictionary for over thirty years - until my mom told me I had to give it back and that I should get my own. (lol - she really did, she loves words and that dictionary, too). My mom was/is really cool - she says things like "I did it on Purple," instead of "I did it on purpose". Maybe it's because we're scots-irish/english, who knows. So, when I came across Star Signs, word druids and other word wonders as a teenager, it just furthered the ground work my mom had already started. I felt right at home, elation-relation.

I would like to feel truly welcomed here and to share with others of my own ken -and I just can't with someone who doesn't see or hear the other word wonders, who only considers them "improper lexigraming". Even though the moderator of this forum could be more friendly in my opinion, i also think she does an outstanding job regarding the lexigram rules, just not for the other word Druid wonders who need their own forum to call home.

Lexxigrammer, I truly mean no disrespect to you. I understand that you like lexigrams the most and that's what you're best at. I understand that you don't agree with Linda goodman on a lot of things, but this site is for Linda Goodman readers who do. It is not fair to us to tell us that these other star arts with words are wrong. And, even if you don't say/write that, we still know that's what you are conveying. That's how it feels. And it's not right. It may be right for you, but it is not right for everyone here who do agree a lot with Linda. That's why I think another forum for the other word druids is in order. people won't feel yelled at or reprimanded for being more creative and thinking outside/inside the letters. Lexigrams only scratch the surface, literally as symbols that were once drawn on the earth, then tree paper. It is part of the manifestation process, just as the other word art is. I hope you can understand this and know that I really don't have anything against you, and that my desire and intent is just for a place where I can relate with other people on the same things Linda wrote in her books. Since there is no other forum for these other word druid teachings, i request that one be created. Or at least some change be made to give due recognition to linda and a friendly, safe place for those of us who do agree with and know her works, so that we may share freely from the heart and with no one standing in our light.

Karma perhaps, or a "judgement" call. This is only the second time I've used a name with the number 13/4. So maybe it's not strange after all, especially considering that "word wonders" is a 15/6... Which can explain what has been and needs to happen here for the "word Druids" 12/3. The intellect needs to be sacrificed to the feelings, the head to the heart. Emphasis needs to be put on the spirit of the law and not just the letter.
