Subject: RE: Folk artists who are pagan
Yessssssss.. I'd have trouble singing that line with a straight face!

I'd substitute 'live' for 'come'... still makes sense and isn't open to other interpretations......

GUEST 8.07 - Nature is divided into Male and Female - you can't get life without a sperm to fertilise an egg, whether that egg is an embryo, a shelled egg, a seed, nut or berry.... there is a male plant/animal and a female plant/animal. It's just an extension of nature to give gender specifics to other items. To call the moon female is a step of logic. A full moon appears every 28 days or so, a mature woman will menstruate every 28 days or so, ergo, the moon becomes feminine. *I* know it's just a lump of inanimate, sterile, sexless rock, covered in dust and golfballs, that only appears to wax and wane; but that doesn't take away the magical sight of a bright white sliver like a nail paring growing to a great glowing orb with ghostly shadows and hidden images.

We could say that ALL religions and beliefs are human constructs.. but then that's what we ARE... humans with a gender.
