Foster
selected
these
with
great
care
,
doing
so
personally
until
the
operation
got
too
big
.
He
looked
for
men
as
much
like
himself
as
possible
and
for
women
like
his
priestess
–
wives
–
dynamic
,
utterly
convinced
(
as
he
was
himself
convinced
)
,
stubborn
,
and
free
(
or
able
to
be
freed
,
once
their
guilt
and
insecurity
was
purged
)
of
jealousy
in
its
simplest
,
most
human
meaning
–
and
all
of
them
potential
satyrs
and
nymphs
,
as
the
secret
inner
church
was
that
utterly
Dionysian
cult
that
America
had
never
had
and
for
which
there
was
an
enormous
potential
market
.
But
he
was
most
cautious
–
if
candidates
were
married
,
it
had
to
be
both
spouses
.
An
unmarried
candidate
had
to
be
sexually
attractive
as
well
as
sexually
aggressive
–
and
he
impressed
on
his
priests
that
the
males
must
always
equal
or
exceed
in
number
the
females
.
Nowhere
is
it
admitted
that
Foster
had
studied
the
histories
of
earlier
,
somewhat
parallel
cults
in
America
but
he
either
knew
(
or
sensed
)
that
most
of
such
had
foundered
because
the
possessive
concupiscence
of
their
priests
led
to
male
jealousy
and
violence
.
Foster
never
made
this
error
;
not
once
did
he
keep
a
woman
entirely
to
himself
,
not
even
the
women
he
married
legally
.
Nor
did
he
try
too
eagerly
to
expand
his
core
group
;
the
middle
church
,
the
one
known
to
the
public
,
offered
plenty
to
slake
the
milder
needs
of
the
great
masses
of
guilt
-
ridden
and
unhappy
.
If
a
local
revival
produced
even
two
couples
who
were
capable
of
"
Heavenly
Marriage
"
Foster
was
content
–
if
it
produced
none
,
he
let
the
other
seeds
grow
and
sent
in
a
salted
priest
and
priestess
to
nurture
them
.
But
,
so
far
as
possible
,
he
always
tested
candidate
couples
himself
,
in
company
with
some
devoted
priestess
.
Since
such
a
couple
was
already
"
saved
"
insofar
as
the
middle
church
was
concerned
,
he
ran
little
risk
–
none
,
really
,
with
the
woman
candidate
and
he
always
sized
up
the
man
himself
before
letting
his
priestess
go
ahead
.
At
the
time
she
was
saved
,
Patricia
Paiwonski
was
still
young
,
married
,
and
"
very
happy
,
very
happy
.
"
She
had
her
first
child
,
she
looked
up
to
and
admired
her
much
older
husband
.
George
Paiwonski
was
a
generous
,
very
affectionate
man
.
He
did
have
one
weakness
,
which
often
left
him
too
drunk
to
show
his
affection
after
a
long
day
?
but
his
tattooing
needle
was
still
steady
and
his
eye
sharp
.
Patty
counted
herself
a
faithful
wife
and
,
on
the
whole
,
a
lucky
one
–
true
,
George
occasionally
got
affectionate
with
a
female
client
?
quite
affectionate
if
it
was
early
in
the
day
–
and
,
of
course
,
some
tattooing
required
privacy
,
especially
with
ladies
.
Patty
was
tolerant
?
besides
,
she
sometimes
herself
made
a
date
with
a
male
client
,
especially
after
George
got
to
hitting
the
bottle
more
and
more
.
Nevertheless
there
was
a
lack
in
her
life
,
one
which
was
not
filled
even
when
an
especially
grateful
client
made
her
the
odd
gift
of
a
bull
snake
–
shipping
out
on
a
freighter
,
he
said
,
and
couldn
’
t
keep
it
any
longer
.
She
had
always
liked
pets
and
had
none
of
the
vulgar
phobia
about
snakes
;
she
made
a
home
for
it
in
their
show
window
facing
the
street
,
and
George
made
a
beautiful
four
-
color
picture
to
back
it
up
:
"
Don
’
t
Tread
on
Me
!
"
His
new
design
turned
out
to
be
very
popular
.
Presently
she
had
more
snakes
and
they
were
quite
a
comfort
to
her
.
But
she
was
the
daughter
of
an
Ulster
Protestant
and
a
girl
from
Cork
;
the
armed
truce
between
her
parents
had
left
her
with
no
religion
.
She
was
already
a
"
seeker
"
when
Foster
preached
in
San
Pedro
;
she
had
managed
to
get
George
to
go
a
few
Sundays
but
he
had
not
yet
seen
the
light
.
