Thread Name: Hokey pokey and the Druids?
Subject: RE: Hokey pokey and the Druids?
I heard a piece on NPR this a.m. as I was resisting waking up about the "crypto Jews" of the American Southwest, whose ancestors fled to Mexico to escape the Inquisition and then had to hide their Judaism to survive. And in my blurry unawake state, I had the startling insight that my people are crypto-druids, who had to hide our spiritual practices from the catholic church many, many generations ago...No WONDER I've always got this itch to dance nekkid around campfires. (No, no. Not Campfire...campfires, lower case...)
