Um, I don't believe there's *anywhere* near enough evidence of whether there
was a unified priesthood, or just wandering groups.
This alone makes me suspicious of their "scholarship"

I don't recall whether Conan swore by Crom in the films, but he
certainly did in the Robert E. Howard stories. As described, Crom was
quite definitely a Pagan deity, albeit fictional.

To the small list of marginally Pagan films add Conan the Barbarian?

Postive thoughts and Energy for all have not yet crossed back over

dear family friend is always hard to take, since they are so few ane
far between.

I had thought, when the new drug cocktails came out to control HIV-AIDS,
that I was done with burying friends who were younger than I.
I was wrong.
The wife of a friend of long standing called today to tell us that he
had crossed over.
It wasn't unexpected. He'd contracted a particularly virulent form of
