I used to be a practicing pagan, but not so much anymore - i've kind of lost touch. Eh, it happens.<BR/><BR/>I could just imagine what a high it must have been working with 500 other people towards a common goal like that. So inspiring and uplifting, no?

I will say goodbye to my grandparents and a loving welcome for my sister's baby boy....the dancing I will have to do on my own since I'll be in the derrn hospital having radiation. Hope they don't mistake me for someone who wandered in from the psych ward. From what I've read about some Pagan and Celtic rituals a lot of it seems to be about trying to create balance and celebrating nature in our lives and that sounds good to me.LittlePeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890731735785145148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-1162301758275342162006-10-31T05:35:00.000-08:002006-10-31T05:35:00.000-08:00I agree, the pagan holidays seem more meaningful s...I agree, the pagan holidays seem more meaningful somehow, perhaps because they truly celebrate life in a way that I don't necessarily see in the religious holidays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-1162283983893694172006-10-31T00:39:00.000-08:002006-10-31T00:39:00.000-08:00Yes, that makes much more sense than . . . oh, why...Yes, that makes much more sense than . . . oh, why do we celebrate Halloween anyway?
