The Ink-Pot and the Palette

You've really dived in! I took their little online test, which purports to tell you which of the Twelve thingies you need to focus on first, so that gave me a starting point. Since then I've been kind of winging it.

I was gonna say that the book and the manual are unorganized and needlessly complex. I spent a little time flipping back and forth, back and forth, and got annoyed. I believe that the opening invocation and the basic four hand positions are all you'd really need. The list of Twelve Whatsits is confusing--the three heart-killers or whatever and the nine "virtues" (gah!)--and I think the whole presentation is muddled.

But there's gold there. I really think there is. Keep me posted!
