Happy Vernal Equinox!!

   Today we celebrate the Vernal Equinox.  Winter hands off to Summer and Druids everywhere rejoice!

Druids

    Question: What mental image forms in your mind when you hear the word "Druid"?

Happy Samhain!

    Tis the reason for the season.

Happy Winter Solstice!

     The Winter Solstice is the real reason for the season.  Technically, it down't occur until tomorrow, but tonight is close enough.

The Druids are back!

The UK officially recognized Druidism as a religion this week. You can read about it here. Two of my multiple personalities are (what you would call) Druids, so they're quite ecstatic about this, even if most of the modern-day "druids" are just flower-children who like to smoke pot outdoors and take a whiz while standing on top of one of the cross-slabs at Stonehenge. . The more practical consequence of this is that the Druid organizations now have the same status and get the same tax breaks as mainstream religions. . You might find it hard to take serious a pantheistic religion that sees its gods as various forces of nature. But is it more far-fetched than thinking that 72 virgins await you in Paradise if you blow yourself up, or that there once was this giant boat that doubled as a floating zoo? Hardly.
