And they come up with many interesting theories with pretty lights when they were stoned. It was believed the gases from volcanos were near the Oracle at Delphi. So she was tripping always. Amazing that men would ask her on the outcome on battles. It's like going and asking Ringo Starr what he thinks of Afghanistan war.

Irobot...." Sunny... Different From The Rest... "

Hi There, vbkelly... Birth Stones can be interesting as well as Tarot Cards and it all depends about how open minded you are and what floats your boat... some say your body is all tiny electrical pulses and to carry a crystal like pure quartz can resonate at a frequency that stops pain as some people with back pains can tell you or magnets is another ....

Do not be intimidated or bullied because you may think or believe in some thing other`s do not... you may be right and they are wrong.... ever been in a Church in England and felt the power / Holy Ness of the place... a lot of the Christian Churches in England was built on Holy Pagan sites as an insult to Pagans and their believes ....
..

But what I found interesting reading was Chinese Astrology and the characteristics they give to people / birth signs seem rather close to the personalities of the people they represent...

I am more into Tai Che Chaun,Qigong which revolves around meridian points of the body, but hard for some people to understand this way of thinking in this country and I have given up a long time ago trying to convert them.... but back to the " Open Mind " again... but people are now excepting these ancient Chinese ways as well as acupuncture and reflexology and reiki these days for the peace of mind, and severe illness...
