ArchivesHey Pav and Nanaea! Whaddaya Think?
Just buzzed back to NC for the weekend and found a firestorm in the editorial pages. Seems like Iredell County, 30 miles up the road, has commissioned muralist Ben Long to do a theme mural for the Civic Center there.
Long is good, best known for Christian frescoes he's done in picturesque mountain chapels near here. But this time he's seized on Iredell's forgettable motto, "Crossroads For The Future" (I-40 and I-77 cross there), and is including in that theme the goddess Hecate, intended to represent the "magic" of the crossroads. (What's "magic" about Cracker Barrel and Homer's Truck Stop?)
The preachers of the region are up in arms, starting letters with statements like "Satan is OK in Statesville!" So, Che and Nanaea, your opinions? Is Hecate a threat to the Christian (make that Baptist) God? Is there anything remotely Satanic about Hecate? Lemme know.
(Incidentally, after today I'll be off the site in KY til the 15th. See ya.)
