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.

“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.
