Initiation
During this part of my delusions, I tried to pull out the central line that had been put into a vein in my neck. I have very difficult veins and they soon refused to give any more blood, so shortly after the operation, the central line was put in to make it easier on me, and everyone else, when blood had to be drawn. In my hallucination, during the middle of the night, I tried to pull it out, thinking it was a "pin" and the hospital had to call my husband in to calm me down. It was really a wild experience!

The Sacred and the Secular: Confirmation in Norway
Confirmation in Norway has held a variety of meanings since the introduction of Christianity to the country by Olav Tryggvason. From a point of formalized entry into the spiritual world, it has diverged to take on multiple forms for the Norwegian populace. An initiation into the world of adulthood, a point of resistance against an oppressive religious order, and an area of status negotiation, ritual confirmation has broadened its borders and surpassed even, in true Weberian form, the constraints of organized religion to become a civic, rather than religious, activity.
