What kind of documentation would you be interested in? Comments from customers, arrest records, or community knowledge? Again, unfortunately, I can think of at least four groups in the NW that this *could* apply to, I have no idea as to which one, if any of them, the editor had in mind when she wrote her piece. It does bring up an "interesting" conundrum, though -- here we are, in a purportedly fertility-based religion, that honors all acts of love and pleasure as rituals of the Goddess, and stuck in a society that outlaws the expression of those rituals when done "for hire." > ...

Don't hurry yourself too much. Astrological effects have their own "logic", which doesn't have anything at all to do with the way the intellect deals with the world. And it isn't quite the same as the way cabalistic correspondences work, either.
