Okay, I'm a practicing pagan, the leader of my tradition is one of the best astrologers in the area and I have it from
very good sources that the world is
not coming to an end, so relax, don't stockpile shit and don't look to move into a secure bunker in the mountains
Now, about 2012 ... yes, there
will be changes, in fact, they began a few years ago, but for about 99.9999% of people this basically means diddly. The changes are energetic and the ripples are going to last for a long, long time but they have to do with us, as a species. Humanity must either self destruct or evolve, we're overdue. Some people are doing things to prevent or resist evolution (kim jong il, the phelps family, anyone who hates homosexuals or non christians or is just an all around greedy asshole, etc., etc., etc.) and others are racing towards it happily (me and the goofballs like me).
