Just got home from work. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Another shift in. I always feel good when its done. Just took a benedryl, a swig of nyquil and am having a brandy and coke. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............. What we night nurses do to sleep during the day.

I showed my blog to my friend Gail earlier. I would love for her to visit me here. Gail is one of those people I would love to sit down with and just talk about lots of things, but I never seem to have the time. When she is coming I am going. She's really great to follow though. Whenever I get a patient from her, I know that everything is completly done and thorough. I told her if she ever wanted to get in my head to come here. She obviously knows me pretty well, and asked if that were really a safe place to go?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........Brandy. Don't feel the nyquil yet.

Gotta think of a new question. (think. think. think.)

Okay, got one. Now this is really a question that I have, not one of those rhetorical one. This is something I really want more information on. Something that intrigues me and that I want more information on.

============================
Question # 4.
What is wicca? And what do they believe?
============================

The more I learn about them, and pagans, and "alternative" religions, the more I feel like I've held those same values for a long time. It has actually surprised me on occasion how much I have in common with their values and beliefs, without even knowing it. I remember one day I was surfing blogs, actually after reading Sharon's blog (how ironic is THAT???) when I just first was introduced to them, and I found a couple of blogs written by pagan authors, and I remember sitting there, weeping, weeping unexpectedly, I think because it felt so good to know that there are other people out there that feel the way I do, that I can relate to. It totally shocked me. I sat there for like 2 hours, completely unaware of time. I know they believe in nature, and the earth, and different gods. They believe in peace, and harmony in everything, and energy and spells, utilizing the power of nature, and having the right believe and practice however they want peacefully. To be left alone. They are "witches". They believe in the beauty of life and the power of nature. All of this is information that I have got myself from reading, and from talking to some people. (No Diane Dimonte is not one of them, I am interested DESPITE her so called involvement, which after learning about them I don't think she really is one, I think she is just trying to scare people. She is pretty evil though, would you not agree?) I would like to know more.

I can't help but wonder if I have been wrong about them all my life. When I actually educate myself about them, they are nothing like what I was taught they were. Evil, satanic, secret, and dangerous. They seem nothing like this. I guess that says something for education. We should never judge until we know the whole story. I want to know the whole story. A hundred years ago the midwives would have been considered witches. Midwives have a wonderful, natural, beautiful, holistic, spiritual view of a completely natural process, personal process. Some of the most beautiful deliveries I've seen have been with midwives, not "delivering" babies with monitors and interventions, with time frames and "the curve" that we must not fall off, but with patience and support, helping - not delivering, with some tricks of the trade that really work. And these women would have been burned at the stake 200 years ago. Anyone who wasn't traditional, mainstream "christian" society was evil. And had to be done away with. Anything that wasn't understood was a threat and must be dealt with. A hundred years ago people would have thought that a small box on your table, that could mysteriously transmit images and communicate with people far away must surely be from the devil. For it is something that we can't explain, therefore it must be bad. And here we are, a hundred years later, there you are, sitting at your computer, using the internet everyday.

I would appreciate any and all information and answers to my question.

Nyquil is kicking in.
Must sleep.
Night night.
Peace.
