I have experienced epilepsy and I have seen people in what everyone believed were sacred trances.

And of course other religions describe similar things. Delphians for instance, though they were reportedly high. I suppose as a non-medieval I have learned to hedge bets.

Be that as it may, maybe spacers do want the protection of someone who has had a peculiar life(one way or another) when they go into jump space?

Or maybe the spacers are not all a bunch of vulgar materialists?
