Reading a rather interesting (and somewhat lengthy) essay about the history of the history of witch trials, witch beliefs, relationship to any actual paganism, etc. at the moment... see it here.

"It will be shown, in fact, that almost all of the 'common wisdom' about Witches and the Witch trials is woefully incomplete, seriously misleading, or simply false. What the public thinks it knows about the history of Witchcraft -- and by 'the public,' we should here include most modern Pagans -- is not at all what actually happened."

Have you seen Mirror MasK? I'm going down with a few people to see it at the aquarius at 9:30 if by some miracle you get this I really think you'd enjoy it. This is my second time seeing it.

Let's see, can I get to Palo Alto in 18 minutes after having had a couple glasses of wine...

Gee, I failed my roll! Fancy that.

Actually I haven't even heard of Mirror Mask. Details?

May be able to come. Depends on fixing dinner for dad as mom is in England this week (!). Don't hold your breath if I am not there but I will give it a go.
