collowrathOmg. Where has all the time gone? The semester is almost over and I don't feel like I've done a damn thing! Sure, I've read a lot of philosophy and griped about moral relativism and gotten into heated arguments with the evangelists in Theology who can't seem to figure out what Biblical inerrancy actually means - but what the hell? I thought by the end of the semester I was supposed to be eyeballs deep in work, not casually fucking around on a blog talking about vodka sauce and something someone said on some forum some where.
Which reminds me - I'm a little bit aggravated by the neo-pagan insistance that magic is just a petition for something, like a prayer. If such were the case, then much of the usual interaction between humans and the Gods, within Hellenismos, would be considered magic; given the stance of the Hellenic gods that magic is a polluting factor that removes us from interaction with Them until it is washed away, this presents a bit of a quandary. Or not, and I can just ignore haphazard pseudo-definitions and go about my day.
Yes, I think I'll just do that.
