The trouble is, the model of “religion” available from the monotheists is just wrong. Every seven days, everyone lines up and listens to holy books or to a long sermon or bangs their heads on the floor. That just is not us. We are supposed to be about embodiment, ecstasy, performance, and ritual.

that's a little tough on monotheism, and I used to put a kleenex on my head with a bobby pin so I could sit in a pew while the priest recited in Latin, so I know boredom.

ReplyDeleteLOL, it's been a long time since I remembered it, but I've done the kleenex/bobby pin thing at Mass, as well. And people say we Pagans dress funny!
