NAM as in New Age Movement (not 'Nam as in Vietnam') is anything from wicca, iching (eastern religions), that fat guy you rub the tummy of for 'good luck'... hated that dumb statue as a kid, freaked me out for some reason, crystals for 'energy', spells, pendulums, NAM meditation as in 'empty your mind and create your ideal meditation spot'... used to walk people through that junk, not there anymore. Ouija boards, yes, let's contact the dead... but they're demons, not spirits of the 'deceased'. I am thankful I never could go to that 'church' where a medium would speak... that probably would've confused me even more back in those dumb days of mine. Of course my ol' Catholic coworker was answering my dumb questions back then and telling me he didn't think automatic writing & all that was from God but did I listen? No, cuz I was being dumb.

This weekend, totally NOT related to NAM... I want to find my old rosary, I know it has to be in the attic somewhere. Vaguely remember tossing it up there in my mad at Catholicism days. Why it keeps being heavy on my heart to find it, I don't know but it's bugging me.
