\u2022 I like animal skulls\u2014I have a wall of them.

\u2022 Here is a Google translation about an ethnic Finnish Pagan group trying to get official recognition as a religion<\/a> in that predominately Lutheran country. Because Finnish is a non-Indo-European language, the translation is a little rough:<\/p>\n

Christianity wiped the old faith of the Finnish culture quite well off, so it would be time for work such as digging for some holy book.\u00a0 The Kalevala<\/a>, it can not be, because it is one man’s collection of poems, and even clean up such Muukka says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I want to do magic to influence the airy business of laws, I have a number of high places from which to scatter birdseed. When I want to get deep into the roots of the power structure, I can choose between the rotunda of the Capitol or the tidal<\/a> basin off of the Potomac.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
