kim - i did pray to pagan goddess' and also st. anthony. here's why. i no more believe that there is an actual goddess or god dwelling somewhere than i believe that capital g god is sitting in a throne of downy cloud ready to "judge the living and the dead" as it were. what i do believe is that it is easier to connect with the aspects of the divine by giving them persona. ie the aspect of the divine that is the kind and gentle mother - brighid; the aspect of the divine that is unwaivering in the face of death and darkness - morrigan (to oversimplify the point). i believe that jesus was the manifestation of the divine when man became more rationale and intellectual. i also believe that ritual is ritual and that certain rituals because of the strength of the collective consciousness that engage in them have particular strength - ie the st. anthony prayer which i have seen embraced even by hardcore atheist. magic is magic and if something is done enough times the universe will recognize and bend to that. i know that you were just joking but it gave me a chance to articulate something i believe spiritually which isn't always possible. i usually find myself starting sentences and then stopping only to try again
here's some good news for those of you who haven't seen my facebook status

John Stewart is a funny mofo.
Collective energy is cool - I can get behind that. All I gotta do is go to a concert where everyone is singing together to know it exists.
I'm sick too - IDK from what but it goes w a toothache and that's something I gotta take care of before it kills Violet, or does whatever tooth infections are supposed to do to a fetus.
Where's the Pogues info? Weren't you supposed to fill us in?
