  1. The Eyes of the Dragon Was one of King's stranger works.... A good book, but not his best. I, unfortunately, have had no time to read anything new lately....I think I need to make a trip to Borders!
  2. I have one called The Picture Bible, it's illustrated and set up like a comic book, perfect to get a kid to read it....
  3. I found this a while back, some pretty cool stuff in there. Any place that you can find Thomas DeQuincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater is ok in my book.
  4. Having never been in a coven (I'm a solitary witch)...I'm not sure.
  5. Pleased to meet you (hope you guess my name).....please don't kill me!
  6. (He says jokingly) I find this mildly insulting....seeing as though I can trace direct lineage to Rebecca Nurse (nee Towns), she was my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandmother. Funny thing is....she wasn't a Witch, and I am Edited to include: Before you ask me who she is, get a copy of The Crucible
  7. Buy, Oy in the DT series was meant to be somewhat human, if memory serves (and it does occasionally, through the bong resin)
  8. Dr. Albert Hofmann derived Lysergic Acid Diethylamide-25 from ergot.
  9. It's difficult to even speculate the authors of such ancient texts.... I just wonder what the guy who wrote Revelations was on, and where I can score some!
  10. MTV had a quincinera episode of "My Super Sweet 16" (GOSH! The things my wife makes me watch).... If you want to see an exercise in excess, check out the episode...
  11. What rituals are you looking for, specifically? The internet is a great source. also, I have a ton of stuff on .PDF, I can email you.
  12. I think we already are communicating again. The internet forum may be the answer. http://www.ulctribal.com/forum/ Have you seen this yet, Isaac? Maybe a new Pagan forum is a way of beginning this. Maybe we can use the old in a new way. Talk to OHCowgirl and see what she has to say about it.
  13. To Be effective, ANY governing body for the wiccan/pagan/polytheists of the world would have to be so open to ideas, that it would almost self destruct. Speaking for myself, the reason why I chose a solitary path was to avoid outside influence. I would, however, love to see some kind of advisory board/committee that would help those of us interested in hospital/police/fire chaplain services.
  14. Well, I am a solitary eclectic. The schism that apparently is happening is of no concern to me. It will not change my belief structure or change my mind on anything. I do believe, however, in a more spritual path. I do pray more than I cast spells. That being said, I truly hope that whatever happens, happens peacefully. Blessed be!
  15. 1. Frederik Pohl - Gateway (and the books that followed it) 2. Clive Barker - Sacrament 3. Elizabeth Moon - The Deed of Paksennarion 4. Douglas Adams - The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5. Robert A. Heinlein - Citizen of the Galaxy
  16. 4. (countable) (sciences) A logical structure that enables one to deduce the possible results of every experiment that falls within its purview. "The theory of relativity was proposed by Einstein." -Wiktionary Most often the word Theory, when used in a scientific context, means facts stemming from research.
  17. I once had a good friend who is an Anglican Priest... we were discussing Creationism Vs. Evolution one day and he explained it to me like this.... He believes in evolution (after all, the word theory, when used in the phrase Theory of Evolution, means scientific FACT), and also believes in Creationism. He stated to me that God put life on Earth in it's earliest forms, then stood back and watched what happened. Therefore, Adam & Eve, one might say, were unicellular organisms in a pool of primordial ooze. Therefore, I also do not believe that science and religion must be at odds.... OK, atheists....attack away! edited to correct typo
  18. I just finished The Complete Forbidden Gopels and Epistles. I am currently re-reading Thomas DeQuincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater. BTW, I have a ton of Ebooks in my collection. I collect religious texts and philosophy on .PDF.... If anyone would like something to read, contact me, I'll send one or two via email!
  19. My Deepest Condolences to the family. My Prayers and thoughts are with you.
