They seemed such a normal couple - until they built a pagan stone circle in the garden...
You'd think milkmen would be used to pre-dawn doorstep encounters with all manner of 'unconventional' folk, wouldn't you? Well, not in leafy Dorchester.

Might make a reality tv show or something.
Couldn’t be any worse than when I lived across the street from a pentacostal church.
Ask the lady of the house if I can have a broom like hers.
Ask the people in Chappaqua, NY.
Better keep an eye on small children and the pets.
Do NOT want to see them “sky-clad”.
Anything to be different.
The woman is full of crap or insane. Perhaps she is a bit of both.
that’s a ridiculous statement
Pentecostals are maybe the most dependable conservative bloc in our nation.
Very true. Only Mormons are more GOP. Even (via anecdotal evidence) Hispanic Pentecostals lean GOP.
Ask my ex-wife’s neighbors.
Wouldn't know but I can tell ya what it was like being married to one.
“she and her husband had installed a mini-Stonehenge in their garden, instead of a nice patio set.”
Shades of Spinal Tap!
I am not Pentecostal and have some hesitation about speaking in tongues but their beliefs and support of traditional American culture and values are staunch.
Mormons sorta slipped this year in Utah....probably sore over the Romney passover,
'It was the early hours and I'd been to a ceremony at Stonehenge. Normally, I'd change out of my robes before coming home, but it was cold, so I didn't bother.
The milkman took one terrified look at me and scuttled off to his milk float as fast as his legs could carry him. I've never seen one of those vehicles move so quickly. He'd obviously never seen a witch before.'
This story reveals some stunning facts. Just think about it: in this modern era they actually still deliver milk to homes in Britain!!!
I would sleep better at night knowing I lived next door to whackos who played at rocks in their backyard than Muslims who spouse taqiyya and might attack at any moment or who support those who would.
I keep tellin’ y’all: “It don’t take all kinds, we just got all kinds.”
Buddy of mine in high school was 7th-Day Adventist. Also the minister’s son, and a sore trial he was to his family.
Some of the stories he told were pretty outrageous, but I always took them with a barrel of salt, as he was outrageous most of the time.
I also spent some time in the SCA, with pagans and such as friends, and quite a few of the SCA folks, and not just the pagans, loved to do what they called “freaking the mundanes.” I’ll let you guess... ;)
I lived a block away from a Pentacostal church but I could still hear them. I lived directly across the street from the Spanish Methodist Church and didn’t hear a thing.
So what, they make a lot of noise.
“that’s a ridiculous statement
Pentecostals are maybe the most dependable conservative bloc in our nation.”
That has nothing to do with may statement. Go back and re read what I wrote in it’s context.
And tell me...have YOU lived across the street from a pentecostal church?
Have YOU listened to them howling Wed nights?
Sheesh!
LMAO! Bingo!
“I lived a block away from a Pentacostal church but I could still hear them. I lived directly across the street from the Spanish Methodist Church and didn’t hear a thing.”
Yeah that’s all I was commenting on.
They might of been good neighbors, but they were obnoxiously loud.
“The woman is full of crap or insane. Perhaps she is a bit of both.”
Maybe. I think she just wants attention, and has found this to be an excellent attention-getting mechanism. It’s sad when people (who are WAY old enough to know better) use spirituality to garner notice for themselves.
I'm SCA, and I know what you mean. Freaking the Mundanes is great fun! Walk in to a pizza place in full Celtic garb, swords and armor - people get out of your way very quick! LOL!
I attended a drum making session. The class was held in a woman’s private home which was located in the country. She even had a female shaman giving blessings to the drums afterwards which entailed a special ceremony. The ceremony took place in the woman’s backyard where she had special rocks in a special formation. I inquired early in the class that wasn’t the native american religion similar to the wiccan religion, and the shaman uttered in the affirmative. I wondered how the two ceremonies compared to each other being so similar.
“So what, they make a lot of noise.”
I dont care what your faith is when you are being a loud pain in the *ss, and waking working folks up.
“I don’t even have sex with my husband John - he’s a Druid - these days. I’ve been celibate for 15 years.”
A witch in more ways than one, it would seem.
That remark is SO SPOT ON that I think the guy must have attended some of the same events in Venice Beach that I did.
Of course. People tend to give crazies a wide berth!
Howling? REally? or just noisy in prayer?
Those were the days. I actually enjoyed that lifestyle very much. Slower. More relaxing. Less materialistic.
It’s that good kind of crazy...
Yeah, but most of us don’t know for sure what kind it is, so it just makes sense to give it a little room! ;)
This woman said that she sometimes goes out in her yard to practice paganism. How does someone do that? Pray that there is no God? Who does she pray to?
Depends on the witch...
“I also spent some time in the SCA, with pagans and such as friends, and quite a few of the SCA folks, and not just the pagans, loved to do what they called “freaking the mundanes.” I’ll let you guess... ;)”
*sung to the tune of Pinky and the Brain*
We’re freaking the mundanes,
yes freaking the mundanes.
They see us in public,
and think we’re insane!
I worked at a ren faire one summer, wandering around town afterwards dressed in full garb was fun. It also meant getting a 10% discount at the local Culver’s :D
British Paganism is very similar to Native American shamanism in that there are deities that are called upon that represent specific energies. They believe in multiple gods over one monotheistic deity.
“Howling? REally? or just noisy in prayer?”
Howling.
Exactly what I was thinking. That's the point when the whole story just became bizarre.
She looks an awfull lot like:
Maybe they are related....
A witch in more ways than one, it would seem.
Later, when she explains that the brooms are "phallic symbols," the husband shouted, "How the hell would you remember?"
“Couldn’t be any worse than when I lived across the street from a pentacostal church.”
What? Did they sacrifice your children? Or perhaps chickens or small animals. Satanic signs on your door?
That would be annoying. They must be as bad as the Amish terrorists that are always acting up.
This "American Native religion" is nothing more than modern Gaea earth worship. the UN began promoting this crap late 60's, urging native leaders to rekindle this "lost" spiritual culture of their ancestors. Now we have dancing indians all over the place wearing these brightly colored outfits that never existed in their ancestors days, and indians setting up teepee's that most native tribes never used anytime in their history; They used wigwams, and their clothing was made from rather dull buck skin, or some other aminal hide.
Keith, I was raised in a Pentecostal environment, and howling is not something I was around. Some of the whackos out there introduce odd things - I’ve seen it - but then again, I’ve not been around this type of worship for many years.
They are, for the most part, good people who love God, and do not act weird. Yes, they pray aloud in concert, and in tongues, and frankly, it’s something I miss. I go to a quiet church now, and it’s difficult to engage myself in a whisper.
But I’ve heard that there are strange things going on these days - perhaps the doctrine has been hijacked as well.
There are a lot of charlatans around - and I think they are in greater numbers in a pentecostal environment, because we are taught to be permissive in the way God could/would speak to us.
If I lived where you live, I would be annoyed as well, and very put off.
She would be sooo disappointed if the neighbors weren’t upset.
Gawd, every time I see that picture of Helen Thomas, I feel like I caught crabs just by looking. Need a scalding hot shower now, thanks.
You should try it in Las Vegas, where crazy is something of a norm... ;)
