Terri's Halloween Lecture, Abridged

This is how a Maypole should look-note the obvious sexual symbolism of it.

So, while most of out fellow Seffricans are ignorantly celebrating a festival meant for the start of winter hoarding, we will be out in the woods all night, a-summoning summer in.

Just to rub it in, here's a pic of Happy Pagan Dancing, With Clothes On.



Warren and I will be aknowledging the marriage of the Goddess and God, aka the astronomical start of summer, a week later on 7th November. Merry Beltane feast to you all!

Prepare to be truly scared ....

....by thisremote control device for humans recently unveiled in Japan.

A special headset was placed on my cranium by my hosts during a recent demonstration at an NTT research center. It sent a very low voltage electric current from the back of my ears through my head — either from left to right or right to left, depending on which way the joystick on a remote-control was moved

Apparently, the operator can cause the subject to move in a specific direction by means of a joystick.

Desert Faiths Cast Long Shadows

I know I keep making this point: America, and maybe some of the rest of this poor Pale Blue Dot, is heading for a Theocracy.

Unless we of No Good Faith take some kind of stand, that is.

Our Liberal upbringings are liable to convince us to stand by while mad religions usurp all power bases, anywhere-as that is what mad religions are particularly good at.

In another century, wars were fought among Christians over intricate points of theology. Now there is reunion, in resistance perhaps to Islam or to secularism. Increasingly, one hears in America people name themselves simply as "Christians."

Though in a recent poll, a majority of Americans indicated an "admiration" of Islam. One senses more: one senses envy, envy of the Muslim's freedom to worship in the public square in ancient, desert cities.

But, ever since Sept. 11, 2001, when havoc descended, in the name of my desert God, I find my easiest companionship with the agnostic and the atheist.
