If this had happened under a doctor's care, the doctor might be sued for malpractice, but not for criminal negligence for not having referred the child to, say, a homeopath (and believe me, I think homeopathy is silly). That said, I agree that this was gross irresponsibility, and something needs to be done. Children sometimes have to be protected from their parents' ideologies.

She is absolutely beautiful! You have given her quite the name. May she be gentle with you when she grows into the full glory of it. (I named my daughter Calamity...so I understand completely!) Love and best wishes to your whole family. Babies are such wonderful things! Mike!

At any rate, I think it's ironic how so many of them are from evangelical Christian groups, due to Google picking up on words like "Gnostic". It's rather amusing.

I just want my ministries to be self-supporting if possible. Since this website has been up, it's cost me $100. My ministry outside of the website has cost me somewhere between $200-$300. I've performed one wedding $75 and I'm about to get my first check from Revver - $20. So, that means around $300 out of my pocket. I'm about to have a kid, so obviously I'd want the ministry to be more self sufficient....especially when that doesn't take into account books, my personal religious supplies,etc. The trip for ordination alone ended up costing around $600 but that's not included in those figures.

I hadn't even noticed the book store. If I decide to do some reading on Crowley this summer (The Crowley Reader and biographies look interesting), I'll make sure I get it here.
