I can't tell you the size of the hairball I just pulled out of my computer's fan. All I can say is, ick.

And it's still making noise! *sigh*

I worship a quarternary God who manifests in three aspects.

"[T]he seasons of the year are themselves transformed from the pagan Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter to the Christian Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Passiontide, Easter, and Pentecost.

"However, because the sun itself in both its daily and annual course is seen as a type of Christ, the Sun of Justice, the Christian Year is rather significantly integrated with the cycle of the sun. The Christian Year begins about four weeks before Christmas, which coincides approximately with the Winter Solstice--the time when, in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is at its lowest meridian and is about to begin once more its upward journey to the midheaven. Anciently this time was sometimes known as the Birth of the Sun, being, as it were, the midnight of the year, from which point the sun begins to rise. According to tradition, then, Christ was born at midnight at the Winter Solstice."

"Rather obviously, she [Mary, mother of Christ] takes the place of Isis, Astarte, Ceres, Aphrodite, Cybele, Inanna, Maya-Shakti, and all the great Mother Goddesses of the Earth known to ancient history, for Catholic piety has endowed her with their titles--Mother of God and Queen of Heaven."
