Snakes

[The Hammer]

Any other pagans want to join me on St. Patrick's day (17th) in a little act of rebellion and solidarity?

We shall wear something with a snake on it, necklace, shirt, tie, or whatever. To show that not all the "snakes" ie "evil Pagans" were driven from Ireland.

Some folk believe that pagans werent driven from Ireland just that they converted by choice and there wasn't any violence involved. Pagans just gradually converted to Christianity over time in the area and that was that. St.Patrick probably didn't even need to be involved as the pagans at the time were already on that path. I don't know which story is true. I just don't celebrate st.patricks day and honestly i don't have anything with snakes on it if I recall I might have a shirt I think but not sure. Still seeing as I don't know what is true for certain I will not engage in this practice till I've done enough research to make sure I'm not spreading false info.

Which is why I didn't embellish his history like others do. And only used the term (snakes) which is used in his hagiography. He was sent as a missionary to convert the Irish. And he certainly had a chip on his shoulder after being an Irish slave for 6 years.

I'm probably going to wear a Harry Potter Slytherin T-Shirt. This way I knock out wearing a snake (their house mascot) and it's green to boot.

I always wear my green triskelion shirt on St. Patrick's Day, and my wife (who loves snakes) has a snake bracelet I plan on borrowing. I'll post pictures.

Snakes look nice on anyone

I'm all for a bit of rebellion. Mucalinda and Buddha under the Bodhi Tree. Now I have to figure out where to find it on a t shirt.

I couldn't get a hold of anything definitively snake today, as most of my stuff is still in boxes.

But I did pick up this piece of Serpentine, and figure, it's close enough.

Edit: That's a pretty cool watch/bracelet.

I remember you mentioning that, it still looks good on you.

Thanks! I found the solar cross while I was running errands yesterday. It's actually carved bone, and was made by a local artist here.
