Positive MIM Feedback
Positive MIM Feedback
Nowadays, websites usually have reviews sections and only the most positive of testimonials get picked to be featured. But back in "da old days"--before the meteoric rise of social media--websites like MIM had third-party tools called "guestbooks" where site visitors left comments on a separate page (without spellcheck 😬).
Although the ones I used to use are no longer around (or I've simply lost access to them), I did make a point to save the messages of encouragement, positive feedback, and thanks for the website and the information provided. I put it all into a document I could refer back to when I needed to dig a littler deeper to motivate myself in a project that the changing internet world seemed to have lost interest in.
While for-profit resources and businesses often have a logical need for sharing their positive reviews, the not-for-profit nature of MIM means it's unnecessary to do all that. However, I also see the value in sharing my why. That overall feeling and motivation that answers:
Why did I start Messages in the Moonlight?
Why I have I continued to grow and nurture MIM?
Why am I so committed to keeping it free? (Why isn't MIM monetized 23+ years in?)
Why can't I just "let it go"?
I've included some of the feedback I've received over the years below. These are those messages--like light reflected by the moon--helping me see the value in this website. As I continue to receive (or regain access to) positive feedback for MIM, I'll include it below. (Note: Only names publicly shared are included here. Privately shared message quotes are identified as "anonymous". Reach out if you'd like me to include your name.)
"I have just spent nearly two hours reading everything that the Messages in the Moonlight website has to offer. I am truly grateful that I found it and for all of the information you have provided. I've been a heavily Wiccan influenced Witch for just over twenty years now and I can say that I found myself sympathising with you on many points. Also, I know of no other place published or online where one could possibly find all of this information. What a treasure!" --anonymous (3/9/2021)

"just wanted to let you know that i found your "ramblings" on harming people with magick very interesting. And i completely agree with you. Although I am not a witch or Wiccan myself, I am very interested in Wicca and witchcraft and I guess you could say I follow the Wiccan Rede. Really, I'm only following my heart and my heart doesn't believe in intentionally doing anyone harm (unless, as you say, it prevents greater harm upon others). Even when simply speaking a curse on someone at whom i am angry, I stop myself and ask if it is really something that i should do. I believe that every action has a boomerang effect, and make sure that a curse is something that is really deserved/necessary. And, also, one (in my opinion) must be careful of how they curse another. I believe it important to emphasize the purpose of the curse. One of my personal favorites is "cursing" someone to live a hardship that i or someone else have/has lived so that they may be humbler for it and more compassionate towards others." --Rebekah (4/21/2007)

"At this juncture in my life I find myself with ample time and the means to study in depth so with that in mind I set out today to research more about modern Witchcraft and was absolutely overwhelmed. I brewed a cup of strong Coffee and ran straight to the internet. I spent 8 hours reading good, bad, and some really confusing things that told me I was no better off now than I was when I started. I found the web site Witches' Voice and tried to read a few articles but found myself more confused. After reading a while I happened to see the box with Vox Sponsor and clicked on it. That led me to your website and a ton of good information that has me at least standing in the right direction to begin my journey. I am not quite as lost as I was when I started out and realize I have a long way to go. Yes Men can ramble to. Thanks for the information you provide." --anonymous (8/29/2018)
