Re: Listen to The Dark Side, Daivi-Wan...
"I'm glad that you have a cool husband! Maybe someday I'll get one:)"@@@@ You and Phyllis will both find someone cool eventually. You know that old saying, "You've got to be a friend to have a friend"? Well, it's also true that you've got to be cool to get cool. And you both are. :)"Thanks, Nan. I really did learn alot from that. It's amazing what stereotypes can do to things. AND people :p"@@@@ It's limited thinking that leads to stereotyping. Satanists aren't "evil" -- just "untamed". ;)-- Nanaea

Nanaea and SarahjeanneDitto with witches and (most) neopagans. I attended a small ritual and I felt less inhibited being "sky-clad" when a number of those involved were too. Nobody cared what anybody else looked like.
Before you ask, no, the flails were left behind (it wasn't a Gardnerian ritual).Phyllis

Yep, ditto with witches and most neopagans. Some neopagans are a *little* bit tamed, though. :) That whole concept of worrying over the things that you do coming back at you "threefold" doesn't exist at all in Satanism.That's not to say that Satanists don't have ethics, of course. It's just that we feel that, as intelligent adults, we already *know* the difference between what's right and what's wrong -- and we act accordingly. We don't act (or refrain from acting) out of a fear of divine retribution.Of course, I'm not saying that people who aren't Satanists act rightly only out of fear of divine retribution -- because Satanists obviously aren't the only people capable of acting on their conscience. I'm just saying that Satanists aren't "tamed" in any way by such religious conventions.I know what you mean about not feeling self-conscious about being skyclad when around others who are also doing it. In my pre-married days, I used to be a regular visitor to a nude beach on Fire Island. However, I wouldn't be likely to suddenly start disrobing at a regular beach. People would think you're craaaaaaazy (or something else!) if you did that. LOL!-- Nanaea
