No one in CAw has ever tried to sell *me* a Martian Dictionary. The
idea *does* come from _Stranger in a Strange Land_ by Heinlein. The
organization is gathered into "nests" and the have "Water sharing"
ceremonies I suppose similar to the ones in the book. I have never
really participated in any of their public ceremonies, but I know a
lot of individuals who are in it.  Some seem to be very into nature
spirits and being skyclad.

The "archguru" of CAW is Otter Zell, who was a founder and
also creator of _Green Egg_ magazine.

Their sign off is "Never thirst!"

Blessed be,
Cathy
