I like dealing with the gray areas of defining religion, ritual, magick, and group psychology. I may be Jewish, but I have lots of books on when Israel believed in a Goddess, why rituals help people deal with trauma, and making scripts for autistic people. My synthesis is reflected above.

Thanks for a GOOD ritual response, these things need confirmation! ;-)

Part of why to write and post is there was still lots of anger and grief about what happened in 2016, and yet many still try to look ahead to the new year. Lots of unfocused emotion out there, I thought I could give a nudge to direct some loose energy in my vicinity towards better goals. :-D
