    No. I've been out for a couple of years. However I am planning to "someday" return.

    10,500b.c. what is so important about this date?

    This is roughly about the same time period as the end of the last ice age (if you don't count the ice spurt in the 13th-14th century). Before the Pharaohs: Egypt's Mysterious Prehistory speculates about civilization before 3100 bc, and calls upon expertise from a number of disciplines...

    America is not a christian nation

    I've lived in the Bible Belt for a very long time, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure where it ends. Christian affiliation seems high for members of the two major parties (that is if you're running for office)- so I definitely agree in that respect that they have too much political power...

    I'm still working that bit out. I've done some work on asian studies and am currently doing research on women's studies. Have also done some research on ancient Rome, which fired up this urge to study religion, end-of-time philosophies, and afterlife in the ancient world.

    A pagan stereotype

    I love that guitar! Ah man, not landover again. They're good at the goth discrimination as well. So what if some pagans look like they could double as goths? I agree with some of the others here that the attack on body form, beauty and skintone has everything to do with the fact that when they...

    So I had this dream

    Its tricky business interpreting my own dreams let alone trying to do it for someone else. Antibush I rather got the impression after reading the dream, that as you later confirmed, compassion wasn't high in your religious philosophy. You've probably got at least an inkling of what this dream...

    Goddess Worship

    I think for those caught up in whether God is female or male, a shift in goddess worship may create the greatest source of commotion, but among people who regard divine as sexless, it won't have near the impact on their spirituality.

    Your Goddess

    As for the subject of mother goddesses, the first one to make such a staggering impression upon me was Tiamat (the Babylonian dragon-mother of creation and chaos). Also included on my goddess list is Brigid, Morrigan, Hecate, Lilith, Hel, Athena, Baba Jaga (the slavic Crone who purifies with her...

    Your Goddess

    I don't think that where you are physically has as much bearing on the goddess concepts we encounter, as does where we are mentally or spiritually. For instance I have met "crones" who identify more with mother goddesses. I, myself, am no longer a maiden, but not yet a mother, and seem to...

    Questions -- Writing a Paper

    This probably comes a little late - as all my thoughts do, but here goes. I see the gods as their own separate beings, and at times, also as symbols that together make up the cosmos/universal force of being. Both existing and functioning at different levels of existence. I consider magic to be...

    Blood Magic

    I'm rather fond of blood magic. It makes perfect sense to me, to use blood for annointing sigils, whether it comes from one's veins, or vagina. I've never done the blood-brother/blood-sister thing with anyone. There's probably something to it for those who have. However, I am cautious about how...

    What's Your Archetype?

    Magician Magicians create new realities, transform old ones, serve as catalysts for change, and "name" and thereby create reality. At worst, their efforts can be "evil sorcery." At best, they discover empowering, win/win solutions.
