The H word
Friday night. Dicitonary discussions at dinner. True sequence, with me flipping the pages:
Pagan. Pagan comes from Old Roman 'pagus', a country district. Pagan lead to heathen. Heathen from the heath, also the country. Heathen leads to henotheism, which is one of these:
1. A religion based on the teachings of Heno.
2. A belief in one god as female, honoring the hen as a sacred animal. (Heathen henotheists worship heath hens.)
3. A belief in one god, without denying multiple gods.
We all decided we liked definition 2, but soon moved onto hendecasyllabic.....
