Kinda hard for me to forget the date.

I awoke to the radio alarm saying that the "President has been evacuated". I yelled WTF and got up an turned on the TV. When the wife finally got out of bed she said that "it was time". We spent the whole day watching movies and such so as not to hear what was going on. Hoping to prolong the labor so as not to have my daughter on this day.

So a long story short we did it and my daughter was born on 09/12/2001.

Oh, that's pretty hot. I suppose.

Well, let's make it even hotter! Here are some Votive candles I made a while back...

Kelkhil- great story!! Glad your daughter didn't have to share her special day with something so tragic.
PaganPaul and Pheonix- you should be impressed. Right now in our library's display case is a copy of Wiccan for Beginners, An encyclopedia of Witchcraft, and Witches, Wizards, and Warlocks

MSG - Playing hookie from school today???

I am surprised that they allow a Wiccan book in a school library. Kinda weird concidering all you hear about iare the stories they want banned from schools. I would expect that one to be the top of the list.

Wow, Paul, those are shiiiiiiny!


Well now, I guess those Mormons are more open-minded than most. Good to know.

Nope I'm here at school today...My students are taking a test, so there's not much for me to do except give them the beady eye and make sure they aren't cheating or talking.

First, this type of book is not a story - it's a Religious Education text.

Second, would you expect the Koran to be banned from the school libraries? Or the teachings of Buddha? Or the Egyptian Book of the Dead? The Morman Texts? How about the Old Testament? Of course not!

So why would anyone want to ban a book on Wicca? It is just another belief system, and just as valid as any of the others I've listed above. If you ban one, you will have to ban them all.

BTW, if you're looking for something a bit different about Wicca, try this one...



I happen to know both of the authors, and one in particular, P.M. Richards, VERY well.

yeah we have a great librarian and she tries to make sure all cultures and beliefs are represented in the library. It helps bring more kids into the library if they feel like they can find literature and information relating to their own lives.
