My current fandom kind of... involved itself in my thinking process, you see. <br /><br />If a malevolent Native American spirit possesses an Easter European immigrant who (repeatedly) violated a certain taboo, would deities and spirits of his home country be okay with that? Do deities and spirits have any protocols regarding such things?<br /><br />(Since he's an American citizen now, I suppose local spirits and deities have all the rights to punish him for breaking taboos on *their* territory. "Oh look, yet another white man who thinks he can do whatever he wants. Welcome to America, enjoy your curse.")<br /><br />---RedcrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-68383832826146639812013-12-28T21:33:33.984-05:002013-12-28T21:33:33.984-05:00Heh.
