G'day all,

Male Members
Trotsky leads with his chin:
> Still, there are some cults with earth associations that have no
problem
>with men as members*.
A lot of people are probably going to get in before me, but...
>*whereas Babeester Gor doesn't like male members at all
- -..except as adornments for their axes, dangling from their earrings and
necklaces, and as natty Christmas tree ornaments.

Burial Customs
Rob Marcus:
>Has anyone out there looked into Orlanthi burial customs in any depth at
>all?
Check out Michael Raaterova's excellent article "Rituals of the Far Place"
in Questlines I, the RQ-Con Down Under fund-raiser book (1996). The first
section, "A Ceremony for the Dead: the Celebration of Tungol Moonfoe" is
essentially a description of an Orlanthi burial service, and probably just
the ticket for what you're looking for.
Cheers,
MOB
