John--

Well, I won't look t the site (sorry, but puking is *not* one of my 
favourite things to do).  

Thanks for your comments on pagans/wiccans/Other modern-day Witches.  
I'm a pagan, a fact I keep pretty damn quiet down here in the South.  
To your Hallowe'en, I'd add Christmas and Easter.  Christmas was once 
Saturnalia, a Roman orgyday, and Easter comes from Oester, a pagan 
celebration of Rebirth after Winter.
