A woman was asked by a co-worker, "Whats it like to be a pagan?". The woman replied, "Its like being a pumpkin. The Goddess picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you. Then she cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. She removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then She carves you a new smiling face and puts Her light in you to shine for all the world to see. This was passed to me from another pumpkin, now you pass it on to another pumpkin also.
