Pagans have pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash away a cartoon character painted next to their famous fertility symbol - the Cerne Abbas giant.
I read about this, I can't help but find homer offering a donut to this phallic warrior a bit funny, but at the same time I would not be happy with it if this was a symbol that meant something to me.
Sheesh. One of the things I've always loved about paganism is that the Goddess and her consorts appear to have a sense of humor generally lacking in their more Latinate confreres.
I saw that photo. Was I the only one that thought Homer was going to play a game of ring toss with the giant?
