I haven't been in GD tonight I don't think.
Actually a Cuban friend I was fond of gave me a medal, necklace thing some years ago. It was Lazerous I think but they have sort of dovetailed saints with their religion from native African roots ( I can't think what they call it off the top of my head, but its Oshun, Changa and that lot - oh and an obsession with killing chickens). Anyway the necklace made me very uncomfortable and it wasn't attractive. But whether it was superstition or what on my part I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.
In fact when I moved in here I found a sizable wooden crucifix in the meter cupboard. I couldn't throw that away either, although I didn't want it in the place. I took it with me to the church hall one night when I was doing a tango class there and left it behind. I figured it would be happier there.
ETA - Santeria - Yoruba Orishas blended with Catholic Saints - double trouble.
