Steve: I was raised Catholic, too...funnily enough, many modern pagans and witches were raised the same way! Theories for conversion include: 1) love of ritual instilled at young age (incense, Latin, robes, etc.) 2) rejection of sexual guilt and denigration of women rampant in Catholic religion 3) love of religious rites of passage (confirmation, etc.)corresponds to similar rites in paganism....

Mbo: I had a Hallowe'en/birthday party last October where, at the end of the night when just a few die-hards were left, we sat by the glowing embers in the fireplace and I played Moody Blues records (yes records!!!)...the music was perfect for the time and the mood...and vinyl has a magic to it, something of a bygone era... my all time favorite Moody Blues song changes weekly depending on my mood, but my faves include:
