Wow. That's extremely interesting. I must take a class on world religions someday- though I doubt they'd teach me as much about paganism and Wicca as I'd like to know. I'll look it up sometime soon.

I don't consider most defense mechanisms to be healthy mentally. Trying to deviate my personality into different thought forms could help me in a lot of ways that I can see, but I'd end up using it to escape. It'd be another vice eventually (I think)... and I've had a lot of vices already.

It's odd though, thinking about it... I think it would be easy to do... Completely natural. That fact makes me feel kind of uneasy for reasons I'm still trying to figure out.
