 That may be because many Neopagans don't bother to study even a little bit of 
Patristics before going off blaming Paul for everything (g). Pagels' 
"Adam And Even And The Serpent" remains my main suggestion for an intro to the 
subject, including good old "sacks of blood and filth" Augustine (g).

  Hi all! Today, on the Susan Powter talk show, one of the featured guests
  was Z. Budapest. The topic of the show was aprodisiacs and love potions,
  which has been a hot topic in some of the echos lately. Z. was showing the
  audience how to make a potion that one could sprinkle oneself with, or
  put on like cologne, that would make one seem more attractive to others.
  
  Just an interesting tidbit I thought you might enjoy.
                                                        Avery

 Interesting. Have you tried out the various other 'English Gematria' systems? 
I've seen a couple floating around here and there.

 Sure...maybe that's the point? 2=0, and so do most of the words in the 
English language?  ;>  Well heck...maybe under the 'order and value of the 
English alphabet,' there are only supposed to be a small number of 
'numerically related' words/concepts. Or...if spelling is defunct...we're 
supozed to add an X in the center of every word, or an O on the end?  ;>
 Love is the law, love under will.
