If you're intrigued by wild conspiracy theories on the pagan roots of the papacy, have I got a doozy for you. Many people don't know it but the concept of tying a knot is rich in pagan origins.
Aggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Practically every Protestant leader I see carries this tradition!!!!!!
Tie a string on your finger to remember something? (Sounds like cord magic to me.) I wonder why sailors put so much skill into the knots they tied over the centuries? Fishermen and fisherwomen, even today, have special words they say when throwing their lines into the water....See the magic in everyday events, like knotting your neck tie...
