Aha! Thank you both for the information! I'll see if I can get hold of the
recording.

I'm making my ignorant pet human type this.

I could ask you if you're allergic to being called certain smelly dirty
little things I could mention, but that would be tres rude, wouldn't
it?--especially since today is Beltane in the waning moon, an ideal day for
banishing unpleasant thoughts, illness and other misfortunes, such as
cl*r*n*ts, whilst inviting new growth and abundance, such as large quantities
of delicious breakfast, dinner and supper (served *early and often*,
Lelia...).

Perhaps you've seen the movie, "The Wicker Man." Quite barbaric. Times have
changed, fortunately. We've revised the Walpurgis ritual to make it more
appropriate for the modern world, where we regard the sacrifice of humans or
cats as an abomination, needless to say. Since Beltane is, nonetheless, a
fire festival, some modern humans write down the names of anything they want
to get rid of and then burn the affirmations up with some incense. Well,
IMHO, the best way to get rid of all the pestilential cl*r*n*ts today is to
chop them up in little pieces and use them as your sacrifice in the Beltane
blaze instead. Far more efficacious than mere words!
