Just found this website (while looking for anything informative about Green Man images and lore--but that's another story.) There is some really ...odd...stuff there.

Meanwhile--anyone who happens to be an expert on Green Man stuff, and wants to have your brain picked over, drop me a PM. BWhaAHHAahaaaaa...

A truckload of links, but I have to wonder if Pacifica offered Dr. Jenks an extremely attractive retirement package to send her elsewhere to ply her private practice as a past life regression "guide."

Still, an interesting site, no doubt about that!

I have been thinking and thinking about the image and story of Baba Yaga now for months and wondering how girls and women can resolve the seemingly paradoxical story of a bony heartless witch with the image of innocence of a rejected and abandoned girl.

10ccs of codeine, right there.

Thanks for the link Mac. There's some really good info on deities there. The symbol/runes links should be helpful in my WIP.

Encyclopaedia Mythica (http://www.pantheon.org) is a pretty good mythological look-up for gods and monsters. Much nicer to read, if a little dry.

It is interesting, but I'd use it with caution. I looked at a few of the articles on my own field, Celtic myth, and they're less than accurate in a some parts; more New Age/Neo Pagan than historic. The stuff on runes is also a bit reliant on New Age/Neo Pagan wishful thinking.

oops! Right up at the beginning of this thread I should have said what Lisa said.

Although, given the past life regression stuff...perhaps we can just reckon she's counting herself an eyewitness...?

(BAD Mac! That was mean! Get in the box!)
