Hey Tim, i'm not sure if you are just being sarcastic or you maybe didn't really understand the remark about vampires, but just incase you were confused, there is no vampire Barong Dance.

Skepticism is a healthy thing as long as it doesn't get in the way of the open mind. In fact i practice it rather "religiously", if you will. However, i have also studied Magick and mysticism for more than 25yrs. and can tell you that i have personally experienced many things that can not be explained by present scientific method. I do, however, consider these experiences to be completely natural. Understanding magick goes far beyond owning a small collection of African divination and magickal items no matter how highly you prize the collection. Understanding comes through practice, not skeptical observance. If you wish to continue to make light of other peoples spiritual beliefs, that's fine. People often make fun of the things they don't understand. What ever makes you comfortable, dude.
