[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 416390, member: 1233"] I cannot claim to have fully created my suggestion. As a little girl in Catholic school (run by the church my parents were members of) my father got a bit peeved because they kept sending forms home that asked our religion. This was the seventies and ALL of the kids in my school were members. So he started writing Druid, Orthodox, Reformed on the forms. I cannot even TELL you how much the nuns liked that. Then just before Jess was born we lived in a bad apartment complex (husband picked it - never again) and the guy below us was dealing drugs and ho's. But he and his girlfriend were "fundamentalist christians" - their words. My mother and I developed the fake pagan rituals. I wrote some nonsense using a latin textbook I found and we chanted. The chants are OFTEN scarier than death metal or other more popular types of music. So FEW people have heard chants, esp done in latin or other languages, that they are often really scared of them. husband has a cd with gregorian chants said in latin and many people seem to think it is a way to summon the devil. LOL because this particular cd was created by a bunch of catholic monks who still only speak latin. It is just so very foreign. We did paint some paper mache gourds from the craft store with black paint and put beads in them to make them noisy. They were a perfect touch. A big part of this was done to terrify the neighbors who scared the daylights out of me. It worked - they never again said boo to us, made sure to NOT draw our attention, esp mine, and they slowed down a LOT of activity because apparently his clients and ho's were superstitious and thought that the devil would possess them if they upset me. I LOVE having a creative mind and parents who nurtured it in that very Addams Family way, lol! [/QUOTE]
