Greetings from the Hotel of the Pagans.
We've got the whole place, with the exception of a few poor, unsuspecting cowans with preexisting reservations.
Now there's some sociology just waiting to happen.
Here's something interesting: I've been through every drawer in my room, and—Lady be praised—there's not a Gideon Bible in a single one of them.
(The Gideon Society is a group of spiritual imperialists with the motto “A Bible in every hotel room.”)
I can think of several possible explanations.
So: here was my evil plan.
Step 1. To lay the groundwork, as it were, the first year we'd do the presentation: “Sacrifice in Theory and Practice.”
Step 2. The next year, we'd bring in the cute little lambie and let the kids get to know it through the course of the festival.
Then at the big ritual we'd kill it and eat it.
Needless to say, we never even got to Step 1.

Thirty years ago, they wouldn't even let us talk about sacrifice at PSG. “Too controversial,” they said.
Well, that was 30 years ago, and this is Paganistan.
Moral of the story: Don't wait for Step 2.

Nile Crocodile:
One of the most well-known of crocodiles is the Nile crocodile of Africa, who is a fearsome predator of animals and people. Ancient Egyptians saw the Nile crocodile as their fearsome God Sobek. An aggressive God, Sobek represented the power of the Pharaoh. However, He was also their God of fertility and protection. A link to the deep past, the Nile crocodile is respected and feared. As Sobek, the Nile crocodile is a part of the primal strength of nature.
