Unfortunately for us, the destruction bit can be somewhat painful. :(Dancing With Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493553137383118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-69016997264184478172009-04-11T20:26:00.000-04:002009-04-11T20:26:00.000-04:00I somehow missed this post, and have only now read...I somehow missed this post, and have only now read it.<BR/><BR/>This totally sounds like Pele. She's my matron goddess, by the way. It doesn't really make sense, because all the other deities in my life are Celtic, NOT Hawai'ian, but I'm not about to get into an argument with her about whether her choosing me is appropriate or not. lolDancing With Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493553137383118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-91358602607537806742009-04-09T22:21:00.000-04:002009-04-09T22:21:00.000-04:00Why that reminds me of a story I heard:Once upon a...Why that reminds me of a story I heard:<BR/><BR/>Once upon a time the Trids lived on the other side of the river, and every day they had to cross a great bridge to go about their business. But one dark day, a troll moved in underneath their bridge and starting lording it about. So every time a Trid attempted to cross the bridge, the troll, being an evil sort, would kick them back the way they came. The troll was so thorough and so violent that it was soon apparent no Trid would ever be able to cross the bridge again so long as he was there.<BR/><BR/>So the Trids called in the local rabbi. Now, the rabbi didn't necessarily believe in trolls; but the Trids were good neighbors and he wanted to help. So he went to the bridge; and sure enough, there was the troll, standing there at the side of the bridge. But the rabbi was brave (though nervous), and he quite defiantly set off to cross the bridge. To his surprise, the troll did not bother him; and he got all the way to the other side and came back again. Curious, he asked the troll why he had let him cross. And the troll said:<BR/><BR/>"Silly rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948272740932982138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-65308877020830759232009-04-09T21:15:00.000-04:002009-04-09T21:15:00.000-04:00Sometimes a straight up death is too easy.

A painful one, for most, I suppose. <BR/><BR/>Also volcanoes have been in the news a lot recently, both with Mt. Redoubt in Alaska and that Bobby Jindal thing a while back (January I think?)<BR/><BR/>Who else (with a Pagan blog) was talking about Pele?
