(One of my) Favorites Songs

Another personal note.

At one time I thought being a pagan or wiccan would be pretty cool. Freaky chicks and all that. Trouble was, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face with all that earth mother, goddess, we are all part of a great oneness crap. Besides, hippy chicks were just as freaky and the music and drugs were much better.

But I liked and still like much of the pagan, wiccan, celtic music. Case in point: The Christians and the Pagans by Dar Williams.

Humorous lyrics with something of a message about getting along and how we're all pretty much the same...at Christmas/Solstice time. You know-same crap, different verse. But good music.

The final verse:

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.
