Re: OT: Salve to Phyllis cont'd & Opinion poll for All on "Evil"
NaneaIf you are interested (or if anybody else is), there is a cool website run by a bonafide jewitch. The address for it is http://www.bbzzz.com. You might find it kinda interesting, especially since you might be able to link with other jewitch sites.
I think you're gonna have to exit this site since I haven't got the hang of underlining e-mail. Sorry. :(Phyllis

"Blessed Bees"?I checked out the website, and Melissa Oringer is a genuine witch, all right. Cool sense of humor and the abstract. :)Interesting that she says she's not quite sure why she associates the goddess Shabbat with the honeybee, except for perhaps the traditon of eating apples dipped in honey at Rosh Hashona. I wonder if Melissa realizes that her name means "honeybee"?Also liked her description of the Horned One: "He's the beasts and the life and the swirling energy that is free and wild." Very apt prose.Blessed Beast

Wow, and thanks for the comments. This is what happens when a friend of mine runs a Google search on my name - he forwards me a post about my site :)In answer to you question: yes, I know "Melissa" translates into "honeybee" in Greek, thus the name of my personal site. Melissa, one of two daughters of King Melisseus, the other being Amalthea. Amalthea ("goat") is said in some stories to have suckled Zeus.My comment about honeybees and Shabbat is because the association is purely intuitive on my part, based on trancework on such. There's nothing (that I'm aware of) to verify such an association.For those interested in Jewitchery, I've gone live quite recently with a new site focused on the topic: http://www.jewitchery.com. If you have thoughts, essays, articles, book recommendations and/or links to contribute, please drop me an e-mail :)And thanks again!B*Bzzz
