| I have my biases. If Two Rivers Baptist Church, home of Justice Sunday II and the idiots who still bitch about the Musica statue, were to crumble to the ground tomorrow, it’d be all I could do to not drive out there and dance on the ruins. Whew, that would be funny to me. On the other hand, my dad is a minister and if there’s one |

| It’s too damn hot. And too dry. When I water my herbs in the morning, their dirt is more the consistency of crumbled leaves than soil. I worry I’m making tea instead of nourishing them. The tiny bush by the front door probably won’t live and the grass in the neighbors’ lawns is bleached and crackles like tiny bones |

| Okay, Bridgett, I have totally failed to come up with relevant questions about witchcraft, but here’s what’s been nagging me. In the book I’m reading, it’s kind of clear that the definition of “witch” can be as loose as “someone who’s in league with the devil,” whether or not they practice |

| should have taken that as a friendly warning. Anyway, I was looking around the internet for a good discussion of Gillian Welch’s “I Dream a Highway” and I don’t see any. I don’t know if that’s because it’s so obvious to everyone or if it’s because it’s so obscure. I think of this song as |

| I’ve just finished reading The Black Madonna in Latin America and Europe: Tradition and Transformation which is not the book I was looking for, which was La Llorona’s Children: Religion, Life, and Death in the U.S.-Mexican Borderlands, which sold before I could remember where I saw it. Anyway, The Black Madonna. The book is not very |

| Two Rivers Baptist Church’s lawyers are claiming “that [the church members suing them] had no right to the records given the separation of church and state, as well as constitutional rights to privacy of members whose names are on church rolls.” [emphasis mine] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. On behalf of feminists and sex |

| My least favorite thing about Nashville, second only to the outlandish price of houses, are all the Christians. Sometimes, though, they are also my favorite thing. This is the story my nurse told me today, as I sat on a table waiting for the doctor, how her brother had been in a horrible accident and how the doctor told him he would never walk |

| I was going to go hear who the ACLU and the Southern Baptists thought today’s witches were last night, but I couldn’t find my pointy black hat and so I refrained. Still, it makes me think that there really must not be a whole lot of pagans in Nashville that one could ask that question and not have any actual witches on the panel, |

| Listen, my Christian Friends, here’s what I want you to consider. The Left Behind games are selling a supposedly Christian-friendly message to Christians and the broader public. Of course, it’s up to you to try out the game and to decide for yourself whether the message of the game is compatible with the message of Christ. |

| Dear NM (or other gardening folks): So, is it bad form to flounce about my herb garden and then throw myself in a pile next to my happy basil and sigh a sigh of discontent? See, here’s the deal. Sitting out time is rapidly approaching and I would like to smudge with my own sage this year, the sage that I’ve been keeping alive all |

There are a shit-ton of Christians who support Isreal, not out of some great love for the Jewish people, but because they believe there have to be Jews on that land and |

| I’ll just say up front that I don’t really care for Starhawk. I try to be sympathetic to the fact that a lot of it probably has to do with the different eras we’re coming up in, but still… I don’t like that she talks about the “pagan religion” as if there’s only one. Pagan is more an umbrella |

| I sat out for the first night tonight. It smelled good and felt good and I felt better and it just makes me wonder why I’ve stopped making real time to sit quietly. I’m not satisfied with my altar this year. It needs something tall, but I don’t know what. Maybe something metal. Something shiny and vaguely reflective. |

| So, yes, in a perfect world, I would go sit out on the graves of my ancestors for inspiration and wisdom. In this world, I live here where, happily, I know no dead folks. So, when I utiseta, it’s more of a metaphorical sitting out than a physical sitting out. I’m just setting aside time each night for nine nights to go “over |
