:cough: see me whenever surrounded by pagans - i was raised very firmly atheist and by a geophycisist, so not only do I have trouble believing in anything, I tend to go 'um, yes, the striations of copper in that create a pretty colour, and it bends light nicely, but the only way it's going to affect you is if you grind it down and include it in your diet or inject it.'
Which meant the time I was wandering around a big pagan meet (I'd got roped in to work on the book stall by flatmate) I kept going 'um, nicely painted, no, I like amber because it looks pretty, please don't give me the spiel about protection'.
