	Without that joke, though, you wouldn't be what you are.  Without some
element of maleness, you would be an asexual being (a primitive tree, maybe,
or some anaerobic bacterium...hardly an appealing life, by our standards.  
You wouldn't even have a modem!)  Or are you going to tell us you have no
father?
Sheesh.

If your bunny loves to chew, he's a "normal" rabbit, and he probably
won't have trouble with his teeth. Radar's problems are 1) he's a
"mutt", a cross between two rather dissimilar breeds (Netherland Dwarf
and English Spot); he has a short, rounded face, but his teeth belong in
a more elongated muzzle. 2) he was taken away from his mother too early,
so he never really learned how to be a rabbit -- he doesn't chew on
things, and he doesn't even eat carrots (Rascal will practically yank
them out of your hands!)
I'm not sure what you meant by "trance". But bunnies can be *very*
psychic, almost like cats sometimes.

That's OK. You probably NEED to concentrate on grounding. If you find
the altered states frightening or overpowering, you need to learn how to
control that, and grounding is how you start. Personally, *I'm* an
intensity freak, and the more "altered" I can get, through trance or
energy-raising or meditation or whatever, the better I like it. My High
Priestess has to keep reminding me to ground it and not hang onto the
"high" for too long. So I'm really not the best person to talk to if you
need to do more with grounding...but, if/when you want to explore the
more "high-energy" (pun intended) states, I will *of course* be glad to
share my experiences with you.

The plain fact is, any of these techniques basically get you stoned,
without the problems associated with drugs. I think it's something more
subtle than endorphins; neurotransmitters, probably. But for me it's
usually like my recollections of the best weed highs, but full of energy
instead of "laid-back". You just feel so damned *GOOD* that you can't
help giggling and lauging. Think of it as a gift of ecstasy from the
Goddess.
My "trad" is Proteus; in fact, I belong to Proteus Coven itself. (If
you've never heard of it, it's yet another sprig of the weird and
wonderful shrub whose root is Gardnerianism.) We're *VERY* eclectic and
free-form. What's yours?
