In both guises, as an individual practitioner and a credentialed expert, Mr. York embodies the increasing mainstream acceptance of Pagan religion. From academia to the military, in the person of chaplains and professors, through successful litigation and online networking, Paganism has done much in the last generation to overcome its perception as either Satanism or silliness.

Wisdom is what is left after you have done all the dumb stuff.

The founders and leaders of the US and Canada were/are largely Masons, a pseudo-religious tradition that uses symbols like the pentacle/pentagram, and attempts to trace its lineage back to the polytheistic mythology of ancient Egypt; Isis, Horus, etc.

And along comes a new religious movement that promises FREE to anyone all the hidden knowledge of the past. No exchange of power or money. Just people coming together in "perfect love and perfect trust" and all that.

No wonder it gets persecuted/ridiculed.

My 2 cents

As I keep repeating, anyone can invent a belief system, but it takes real talent to come up with one that makes its members pay a lot of money to clergy for centuries.

You know, that miracle stuff.
