Like everything, Knowlege and Experience improves performance and accuracy(or at least helpfullness;>). It's one of the reasons Fluffies annoy me. They usually have "run" with 1 slice out of an 8 slice "pizza". Sometimes, only the flyer they found on their windshield(sadly, this may not be a metaphor);>.
Knowlege and Experience gives you the "bones" to tell at least the Weal/Woefulness of the Entity or Experience. If Fluffy aquaintences aren't taking the pranks of Woeful Wights as "Wisdom of the Accended Masters", they're taking "Stone Tapes"(Psychic impressions left of poswerful events or peoples in a place, usually in places made of Stone or Brick...wood usually doesn't hold impressions well. Chances are, if it's in the woods or a house made of....there's Something there)as Demonic Intrusion. After a few decades, it gets OLD.
Unfortunately(and maybe thankfully, 'cause I've SEEN what sort of classes folks with no ability can come up with), there are no real places where you can take classes on such things. Back when I started my journey, there were lodges, covens and such. They're still around and about the same number as back in the early 70's. There is, sadly so much more out there because, as I got to watch actually happen in the late 70's and early 80's those who were Unacceptable to lodge/coven/etc for whatever reason just made up and started their own. Some of those have actually survived and become REAL because those with actual Abilities and Wealful Ethics ended up taking over. Most however, came apart after a yr or two and those bits created their dysfunctional group that disintegrated and so on and so on......
So truthfully, most are where most in the West have been at least for a Millenium; being the Hermit/Hag in the Woods....often literally. That's also a good way to tell who will be Helpful(or at least less Woefull in the long run). Even the most Gifted Youngster isn't goiing to have the Knowlege and Wisdom to truly Help and may end up Hurting in the long run. I think back to all those yrs of Spiritually "Salting the Ground"(sometimes literally)creating Spiritually Dead zones because that's what someone who didn't have the "Mileage" told me that's what you did to "Cleanse" a Space. I'm hoping the last 2 decades has helped knock off some of the Debt wrung up for my Ignorant Actions.
So, if you don't have the "Intestinal Fortitude" to put in a few decades, look for someone who HAS. Oh,and the Real Deal have their lives in working order. They may not be perfect but they work. A SIGN of someone to AVOID is someone whose life perpetually ISN'T.
Cheers,
Pat
