Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Since Patrick didn’t actually cast the literal or metaphorical snakes out of Ireland, I see no issue in wishing my Irish, Irish-descended, and Irish-loving readers a happy St. Patrick’s Day. Avoid the green beer, that stuff is just nasty.


“St. Patrick casting out the serpents”

Meanwhile, check out the interesting blog responses by James R. French and Brendan Myers to a recent Witchvox essay entitled “Where Have All the Gardners and Crowleys Gone”.

    Well, if you want to get sloshed and welcome Spring without celebrating the Christianization of Ireland, bear in mind it's also Liberalia. Drink up! ;)
