This subject always amuses me, the "Hallowed Ground" idea, I mean. If you look at the number of things that are sacred to the assorted religious (or cultural) groups, almost everything is covered. Personally, I have an aversion to worshipping rocks, trees, and woodland sprites, (or spirits), so I try to stick with my own assorted prejudices, and let others do the same. My ancestors made a big thing of Oak trees and mistletoe, but that has not arisen in our family for about a hundred generations, so it probably won't raise its' head again. It is nice to be aware of the cultural sensitivity of others, but it has little effect on a persons personal life, usually.. My 2 cents worth, DC
