When I first began reading this thread, I really became so upset. Once again, being confronted with such a small-minded frightened person who seems intent on spreading her fear and ignorance (which of course, go hand in hand) to others.

But as the thread progessed, once again, it heartens me to read the responses of mudcatters. Lots of interesting folk lore, religious lore discussed, and in the end, I think there will be enough good reason and good faith to counter this sad grandmother and her misplaced distress.

I'll remember to light a candle for her...( For me, the idea was always about shining a light into the darkness-getting rid of the shadows, or at least showing them to be only shadows, and not the monsters of our imagination.)..xx..e
