Every time a Jewish friend of mine ordered fresh ham I told him he needed a lot more practice.

I tried really hard to come up with a clever response to this but I keep giggling. I'll have to pose this question to my mother when she calls next week to begin ensuring I'll come up for Passover.

The problem is that most people can't separate religion from witchcraft when it comes to their perception of Wicca or any of the neo-pagan religions.

All religions have their superstitions and "magic" practices - they just don't believe theirs are superstition.

If you're in love with nature in a certain way, it makes sense. And hey... I hear some pagan religions endorse orgies. I'd love to sign up for that. Alas, none of them 'practiced' around Manassas. Such is life.
