JACKTHORN'S "IRISH FLAG" SHOTS

Orange Whiskey mixture: Your favorite Irish whiskey (Jameson, Bushmills, Redbreast, whatever) with a drop or two of Grenadine.  Stir until the hue is right.

In tall clear double-shot glasses, layer green Creme De Menthe, then Irish Cream, then the orange whiskey mixture.  The order is important, because higher gravity liquids float on lower gravity ones.

Layering is best done over the rounded back of a small spoon, or teaspoon, or melon baller.  Pour the second and third liqueurs over the tool, slowly and steadily, so they don't mix.  Ideally the liquid should hit the rounded tool and spread over it, but the tool should be tilted down to touch the side of the glass, so the liquid hits the side of the glass and is further slowed.

Any questions?

I like that.  It's always good to know which godmasks you work best with, most comfortably.  Though sometimes, especially with certain deities and archetypes, leaving the comfort zone is occasionally necessary as well.  =)

And Gin, my humble thoughts, if you don't mind too much...

In no particular order:

I agree whole-heartedly with 4, but with an asterisk -- the divinity behind the godmask is bigger than our comprehension, but the godmask must by definition be largely within our comprehension, that is the purpose it serves.  

It seems to me that by saying 1, you became guilty of 3.

I like and agree with the intention of 3, but... We CANNOT trap Him.  Cutting ourselves off from Him is more likely, but even that, I think not (ask Pentheus about that).

And as for 1, my first trivial response is "Says who?"  Though ultimately I wouldn't really argue that point -- largely because, when it comes down to it, applying sexual orientation to a deity just seems, well, silly, trite, petty, and just plain missing the larger context of the things of which we speak.  Like saying that Apollo is a Republican, or that Shiva prefers Star Trek to Star Wars.

Just my thoughts and reactions, though.  Of course.

"Poet Robert Bly says that to be wild is not to be crazy like a criminal or psychotic, but "mad as the mist and snow." It has nothing to do with being childish or primitive, nor does it manifest as manic rebellion or self-damaging alienation. The marks of wildness are a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown. What do you say?"
