Ex-neo pagan here. You do end up with a really weird book collection! I read Buckley & many cringe-worthy witchy authors. I feel ya, Noah!

Just listened and there was a metaphor we heard years ago at a rural Nebraska church that had all 8 of us (two families of four) convulsing while trying not to laugh out loud. Can't remember what the subject of the sermon was about, but it ended with " . . . [some experience] is like a burr on the pant leg of life".

Holy Shit! I'm the Farnsworth! Noah just made my week, and then made my month in the outro! My bestie is plotzing 🤣
