Tired of piles of junk mail clogging your mailbox?

“A little-known Federal law allows individuals to send a Prohibitory Order against companies that are sending unsolicited sexually provocative or erotically arousing mail.

Every May 24th some 10,000 gypsies fill the small French town of Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer to honor and celebrate their patron saint, Black Sarah.

Historically, the Catholic Church often used the process of inculturation, or the adaptation of indigenous pagan beliefs into traditional Church teachings. Black Sarah is also referenced in many places as the Virgin Mary herself, or as the Black Madonna.

While the gypsy pilgrimage, or Pelegrinage Gitane, to Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer has been ostensibly a Catholic celebration for many centuries, the roots of the religious belief may stretch much farther east. Black Sarah is also known as Sarah-Kali, and may be a more modern representation of the earth goddess Kali.
