Heavy sigh

Can we file this under the category of "being so open-minded your brains fell out"?

The following message was posted on IPC&N within the past week. Identifying information has been changed.

Want to talk to an active or participating vampire
Gaia Works attempts to understand all belief paths and toward that endI would like to spend some time talking with an active or participating vampire (or two or three) to help me understand what you beleive and how your practice ... please email me at xxxxx @ xxx . com (removespaces) or call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx to set up a time to chat ... thank youfor furthering religious tolerance and understanding .. Xxxxx Xxxxx


So since when is a sexual fetish considered a religious belief system? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with consenting adults doing whatever it is they want to do in private, but IMNSHO equating vampirism with paganism brings us all down to the National Enquirerer level. My religion is not a LARP!

Ritual Phrase samples

This is an ADF page with examples of various useful phrases in various Celtic languages.

Unfortunately, for the high quality samples, you need to be a member. But the regular samples are available to anyone.


I have a little trouble with the lower quality clips because of the background noise, and at times the speaker goes a little too fast. Hearing the phrases repeated slowly might be helpful. Then again, it's free. I could always get off my lazy butt and learn a language.

Sacred Text Archive

Exactly what the title says, and there are a lot available besides just Celtic. Take a look here to kill an afternoon.

I like reading the legends and tales for clues to the mindset of the people of the time and how the viewed the world and culture around them.


Speaking of killing an afternoon... still under construction. I've started digging into the horror that is the template under Bloogle.
