Festival of Lights, Dancing on Reagan's Grave, Raelian Film

Saturday August 13, 2005

In the Roman clendar, today marks the festival of Lychnapsia , the search of Isis for the body of the murdered Osiris. To read more about the legend of Isis and Osiris, try Plutarch's Isis and Osiris.

Today is also the day of the "Old" lammas, a traditional day for hand-fasting in Scotland.

A self-described Satanist gets an opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to dance on Reagan's grave.

A New York Politician is in trouble for taking contributions from Scientology and then funneling cash into their 'rehab' program. (But isn't that what politicians do?)

Complaining about the Islamic Justice system while living under its authority probably isn't a very good idea- witness the author who was sentenced to a life term for that and comparing Imams to Jewish teachers.

Here's funny: watch them try to figure out the Subgenius.

A documentary filmmaker hopes to unravel the Raelians. (Who are the Raelians?)

Finally, happy birthday Madam Blavatsky.
