In our culture here, so many women feel appalled at the idea. But frankly, I feel sometimes like covering my head is a) a protection for my crown chakra and b) a sign of beauty and reverence for the Goddess. So there ya have it. Of course, I have the luxury of choice...but given that luxury of choice, I do feel that I have good reasons when I do ceremonially wear a veil.

We had them - and so did most kids in Ohio - for either one year or two. Then they figured out that, when dealing with 8 year olds, the last thing you want to give them is an easy way to project milk across the lunchroom. What I remember most about them is that they were impossible to open without stabbing yourself, stabbing through the bag, or gushing milk onto your clothes. Not fun.
