After reading a story about the Austrian government hiring a Druid to change the magnetic field on a dangerous stretch of highway (and it seeming to have worked), it got me thinking about what sort of things people take seriously, aren’t sure about, and reject seriously. Each of these positions is fairly well staked out for us on a variety of issues, depending on whether we listen to secular authorities or the church or some other source. So I though we could talk about our own views and practices on weird subjects like magnets, cracked mirrors, and lucky numbers.Links:
