I just found out...
Oct. 9th, 2003 05:51 pmSomething interesting...
Author Patricia Monaghan was in Montreal, yesterday, and, though I couldn't meet her, because I didn't have the funds to go to the lecture, last night, my roommate was playing hostess for Ms. Monaghan. (Boy, that sounded weird...) Anyways, she was born and grew up in Alaska, but has Irish (duh, really?!) roots which she researched.
Here is the kicker... Monaghan is actually a mis-pronounciation of the name of the Morrighan, who happens to be my Patron Goddess... or rather, the Goddess who chose me to be her follower.
Serendipity INDEED!
*grumbles* "There are messages everywhere", she said... "Pay attention to the messages", she said... *stomps foot* WHY?!?!
So, now, I am assuming the Monaghans were probably like part of the Priesthood for that particular deity, or traced back their origins to her or something.
Either way... isn't it WEIRD?
