Heather, you probably believe that I'm from the Department of Ology in the College of Knowledge, and could never Spin and Spiral with Websters and Positively Revolting Hags (I do every solstice, equinox and cross-quarter), but let me hasten to assure you that I like reading Mary Daly, and have read a lot of her work (she's a Hoot - as in a wise owl testifying in the darkness). In that sense, I'm logically multilingual, and try to apply the proper tool/sign system to each individual task. I LOVE the Wickedary (being Wiccan myself) as a grand recapturing of the feminine and pagan roots of language (and mourned when she and Jane Caputi broke up; what a collaborative team they made!), and also Pure Lust, and am looking forward to reading Quintessence. Of course, her critiques of patriarchal religion, along with those of Rosemary Radford Ruether, are indispensable. Have you read Merlin Stone, Marija Gimbutas Carol Christ, Naomi Goldenberg and Riane Eisler? Probably, I imagine, ! ! but if you haven't, they're yummy munches! Joe E.
