Carol:
Please explain about the "Yemayah" invocation, for those of us (not necessarily me) who are not aware of the Nature Goddess-type belief systems; OK?
For those interested, see http://www.goddess.com.au/goddess/yemaya.htm, and other sites, if the description of the use of invocations and pentagrams doesn't spook you or make you squeamish--it doesn't bother me; as I was into the religious occult stuff prior to my TF experience, and am familiar with most belief systems, having made a lifetime study of the topic over the last 30 yeaars (all post-TF).
Are you just kidding around, Carol, or is this the "higher power" you have frequently referred to?
I'm actually interested--surely it is not MOI you were referring to as "Thought police", or Brain Nazi", or whatever, was it? Hmmm. That seemed a little brutal, even if an effective ad hominem, IMO.
Hey--I'm all for open communication; here. I am not characterizing you as any kind of stereotype, Carol. As I've said before, I find your frankness refreshing, and always surprising!
