Morning all, after much yelping and chasing with a large plastic measuring jug the enormous hairy monster disappeared down a crack in the skirting last night. Traumatised, we slunk off to bed
Enjoy yourself at Knock, tk. I still have an old wooden icon of Mary and child in a drawer, to me it's just another incarnation of the goddess but I can no longer put it on view. Likewise, a wooden cross I've had since young now hangs in my larder where it seems to be happy enough. It was also a pre-christian symbol so I'm not going to chuck it. I've no idea what happened to my rosary beads. I reckon one day they thought " we don't belong with this mad old bint" and slithered off into the night


Oddly enough some Pagans also use prayer beads. It's a very ancient habit. Just not ten decades of the rosary and a Hail Mary
Now if I came across a little hidden spring or stream that would be holy water.
