Aren't the spiritwolves 2 of our members?

I have a friend who is a pagan, and several relatives who are wiccans or witches, but I'm not very close to them. Think I could get more intereted in the subject if I wasn't ridiculed at home about things that are a bit unusual!

it is the unusual that formed the beginning of life . ie how come the cristian god gave adam and eve fig leaves to cover thier bits when nobody else could see them

.and i believe he was a real mans man ,he liked breasts on show

.and .. if your a gardener .your in good company as he was the first
