Oh my, thanks BIAD for taking it above & beyond!! In my little understanding of all these beliefs, lore, & wild conspiracies I do find it quite fascinating. At the end of the day I really don't know what to believe anymore, but as the old saying goes, every myth has bits of truth and I suppose that is what keeps me engaged with it across its very broad spectrum.
