It wouldn't surprise me if Raglan's one of his sources.

Mine aren't considered normal either.<BR/><BR/>Evonne, given every known culture has a system of magic which includes what we now label paranormal, it makes sense.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-62279986466250720842009-01-13T13:05:00.000-06:002009-01-13T13:05:00.000-06:00Oedipus was one of the ones I was thinking of Lex ...Oedipus was one of the ones I was thinking of Lex - but I couldn't spell it!
