"Post-industrial Paganism". Think it covers it. Bunch of silly white folks tryin' to piggy back on some other culture, or their notions of some other culture, because they've bought into the bogus notion that being white means they have no culture of their own. They should go online and check out some celtic or gothic stuff and reconnect. then again no. Just go off and take a bath and...

And I brought back lots of jewelry goodies to The Second Mrs. Pennington who was then my girlfriend/intended. Dunno if she still has that stuff, or not, but I hadn't seen her wear it in years (before she left).

I insist on the real deal, not Pier 1 crap. <BR/><BR/>Some of my stuff was acquired either in Africa or Australia while I was overseas. Other items were purchased from other collectors. When you look at the real deal, there is little doubt the masks were danced and the totems shaken. <BR/><BR/>The crap does make the finding of the pearl more satisfying though, even on ebay. When collecting degenerates into mall shopping I will stop. It's not the collection, it's the collecting itself that makes it fun.Xavierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036652456691021642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-47455962279062737732008-01-06T09:45:00.000-06:002008-01-06T09:45:00.000-06:00Grand rant Phlegmmy.It sucks that these "new agers...Grand rant Phlegmmy.<BR/><BR/>It sucks that these "new agers" are making you waste your time while you try to find the real deal.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you should try to organise some kind of campaign to get them labelled as New Age?DBA Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684347517853961518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-83517938885242105882008-01-06T06:39:00.000-06:002008-01-06T06:39:00.000-06:00Not to worry.

How can you aruge with this:<BR/>"Our mission is to produce the annual event known as "Burning Man" and to guide, nurture and protect the more permanent community created by its culture. Our intention is to generate society that connects each individual to his or her creative powers, to participation in community, to the larger realm of civic life, and to the even greater world of nature that exists beyond society. We believe that the experience of Burning Man can produce positive spiritual change in the world."<BR/> Yes, and lighting farts will cure global warming.g brohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143583786472206609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-38569127708564320762008-01-06T00:39:00.000-06:002008-01-06T00:39:00.000-06:00My empathy here - I became burned out on eBay sear...My empathy here - I became burned out on eBay searches when irrelevant popular search words used in descriptions loaded the pages with utter crap.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100999113439449482noreply@blogger.com
