   OK, I have, on this full moon night, reverted to Goddess,   
   who I define as the ruler of the region all/everything,   
   as the chair/moderator, in my most recent attempt at   
   magickally instigating a global new age, which I am   
   reporting on on the thread "full moon leap of faith”   
   on alt.religion.druid, for anyone who is interested,   
   which I deem more likely if you notice effects, such   
   as improved sexual compatibility.
