Help[Facts] Re: Hey Nan and Daividh
in reply to a message by Phyllis
Very amusing site :) Kinda makes you wonder a bit about how vulnerable human nature is to silliness. As far as converting you, I will have to first consult with Circe :p

Ask Nanaea about the so-called "elders" I've encountered and my latest responses to them. I'm not sure if you Greek guys get what we call either "soap operas" or "daytime dramas". If not, a few of us might be willing to explain what they are.
By the way, I have a classmate in my Wicca class who's a priestess of Circe (or was it Persephone? Or was it Athena? Whatever.) Too bad my class isn't on the 'Net. You guys (Daividh, Nanaea, you, a few others) might've gotten a kick outa it.

@@@@ Oh, I don't think anyone needs to explain much about American culture to Priapos -- he's spent quite a bit of time in the U.S., and he's pretty cosmopolitan. :)

We spent the majority of the past two classes discussing *long traditions* and whose *tradition* was longer. And the initial discussion was about the debate between the legitimacy of two old geezers' claims ("My tradition's longer than your tradition."). Unless you make uncalled for comments about someone else's religious practice, the only thing that would get you kicked out is if you broke one of the rules of the university in general.

PS. The "My tradition" comment, in a childish, singsong manner, was by the instructor herself (done to explain the problems between the Gardnerians and the Alexandrians. I'll get into it more some other time.

That's the thing about Wicca that really cracks me up -- all this arguing about whose "tradition" is the oldest. When, in actuality, these are all recently invented religions, same as modern-day Satanism. Satanists, however, readily admit to the fact that Satanism is an invented religion (or, more precisely, a philosophy), and even place the Year One, Anno Satanas, as starting in 1966. There's a bit of debate among Satanists as to whether I A.S. began on Walpurgisnacht of that year (April 30th), or on Jan. 1st -- but that's not really that big an issue.
The Gardnerians were founded in the 1950s by Gerald Gardner, and the Alexandrians in the 1960s by Alex Sanders. And even though members of either group may claim a pedigree dating back to the Burning Times, that doesn't make it so. Nor am I impressed that the Gardnerians were around a decade before the Alexandrians. I swear to the Horned One, I'm gonna invent my own cool religion and call all my followers "Nanaeians". :)
Hey, Priapos? Wanna join?

Nanaeanacht , March 11 2001 (Year One, Anno Nanaeis)
Who do I get to sacrifice Daividh, Mistress?

Oops I committed an error in syntax -- that was "Do I get to sacrifice Daividh, Mistress?" -- how many blows do I receive in the head for foregiveness, your beatitude?

Your sin shall be forgiven, for on that memorable evening of Nanaeanacht we were visited upon by the Most High Mike C. Yea, verily, did thou doest good by summoning up His Presence. It was truly a nacht to remember. :)

Yea, I celabrated Nanaeanacht by listening to the Most High Pink Floyd song "Echoes" (though earphones).

The Goddess Nanaea is pleased. She smiles upon you. You shall have much good fortune, up to and including the next Nanaeanacht.
Which, in my cool, invented religion, will occur more than once a year. Coz the Goddess Nanaea likes excuses to party. :)

Heheh, Mike C.'s been reading our stuff, and I'll bet he knows more about us than we know about him. I'll also bet that, just like Mr. Phelps, Mike C. has a dossier on every one of us members of his E.M.F. (Etymological Missions Force). ;)

Et tu, Priap? I'm frequently "escorted" out of public libraries (at least once a week). Oh, it was aeons ago you were? I can't say the same for me.

Was it an American library or a Greek library that gave you the boot? Judging from what you've already told me about the libraries in Greece, I'm going to guess it was Greek. :)
I'm working late tonight, and right now I've got the Anime Club meeting in my Community Room -- a whole bunch of enthusiastic teenagers (with their hair dyed practically every color of the rainbow) using our video projector and having a cool time. I wouldn't dream of throwing any of these kids out of my library, even if they do get a wee bit noisy at times. :)

It was a Greek library all right that gave me the boot!
I was always in good terms with US libraries and libarians :) During my wild years at school in the US, Maria -- a very cool librarian friend-- provided support to my devious conspiracies: she gave me, from her database, the date of birth of any chick that striked my fancy. This enabed me to nonchalantly walk up to them and say b.s. like "I can tell from your aura that you are a Pisces...". Worked like clockwork :P Thankfully, the statute of limitation is over...

Ooo, Maria could've gotten in deep poop for doing that. :) This must've been a university library? Public libraries don't generally maintain date-of-birth records of their patrons.
Heheh, whenever anyone asks me my "sign", I tell 'em it's "No Trespassing". :)

Yep. it was a University Library all right :)
Whenever one asks me my "sign", I tell them I intend to undergo a zodiac change operation, become a Virgo, and start afresh. MAybe thats why Daividh calls me "Preop".

Apropos,
I've always wondered --
what did they do with the books after Maharishi International University shut down? Did they let you students keep any of 'em?
Or where DID you go to school over here? C'mon, tell us...

My favorite Maharishi story is when the Beatles visited him and the old fart hit on their wives. The fab four were disenchanted. The good old Yogi may have been a master meditator, but he was no wanker.
Actually I did an MA at Georgetown and fooled around with a doctoral at George Washinton U. Nothing transcendental about that.
