  1. Oh I hope not! I was looking forward to someone else to swim with Bob and I…..
  2. Hmmm… Somehow I have missed this one. But I would definitely want to be on the fb page!
  3. Oh Light! Let me put on my Shawl. I haven’t thought exclusively as a White in a longtime. I think that from the perspective of a White, they would separate the history and the philosophy. I think looking at it through the lens of superstitions being a natural response to particular environments and experiences. For example, when you open an umbrella indoors you tend to knock things about. It’s not much of a jump for a mind not trained in logic to conclude that opening umbrellas indoors is bad luck. After all, bad things do tend to happen when one dose. And it is a useful trick to tell children to simply get them to be more careful. So the belief begins to spread and as it is a useful belief, it tends to stay with us. But of course the really interesting question is why the human mind needs to believe so badly? Even I hold to a set of beliefs that revolve around the need for balance in the energies of the world. Magical thinking tends to live on in us as humans to the point that it seems to be in some ways, a necessity of life. Perhaps it (superstitions) is that spark of imagination that drives us onward, run amok?
