“Once people became comfortable in the Craft, the old lies began to dissolve. That they did so quickly is an insight into the flexibility of Wicca.”

“Many Pagans will tell you that polytheism is an attitude and a perspective that affect more than what we consider to be religion. They might well say that the constant calls for unity, integration, and homogenization in the Western world derive from our long-standing ideology of monotheism, which remains the majority tradition in the West. They might add that monotheism is a political and psychological ideology as well as a religious one, and that the old economic lesson that one-crop economies generally fare poorly also applies to the spiritual realm.”

“Most Pagans are avid readers, yet many of them have had little formal education…They are, one priest observed to me…“scholars without degrees.”…as readers, they are an elite, since readers constitute less than twenty percent of the population in the United States.”
