No Zombies

[magenta]

A forum on science and math for pagans and magicians meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month, at 7:30 pm, at Eye of Horus, 2717 Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis. The next meeting will be June 26, and the topic this month is "The Wheel of the Year in Astronomy and Astrology." Solstice is just past – what is a solstice, anyway? For that matter, what are the equinoxes? In general, how well does modern astrology’s understanding of the sun’s motion agree with modern astronomy? We will discuss these and other topics. For further information, contact Martin at M_Summerton@yahoo.com. Please feel free to pass on this announcement.

real zombies are
things that go bump
in the night

they're not found of sunlight
and it was beautiful up here

the dogs been barking
but its b(lola)een answered with
a oo oo a i oo oo
the loons are buzy tormenting the dog

its always good to hear your voices
we just need to remember there's life out there

"science and math for pagans and magicians" is badly needed.
(Personally, I'm a skeptic leaning toward Militant Agnosticism (I don't know, and you don't either). As a Jew, I'm much less interested in Christian vs. pagan than in Do you want to kill me?)

But as for astrology . . . An astrological chart is simply a stylized sky map of the ecliptic. A variety of simple calculations can be done with elementary geometry. Yet I've had dedicated "astrologers" stunned with amazement at my incredible mental feats . . .

I've always thought solstices and equnoxes, and full moons, are excellent times for celebration because they are marked by observable natural phenomena.
