Spiritual-Religious

Shammah (Canada)
Doing some research on this business of religion, spiritualism and all that other stuff I've personally been fed with most of my life, surprisingly finding out words (& therefore practises) that were taboo....well, heck, some of them are just another name for "religion."

You'll have some idea of where I am coming from when I tell you I was born into an Irish Catholic family!
