The question is: does it fill a need people have. If it does, then there is a truth in it, thou maybe not the truth some people want to think it has.

Perhaps _Drawing Down the Moon_ by Margot Adler? I picked up a used copy (signed by the author) a few years ago. Haven't actually read it yet, but I get the impression that it's quite sympathetic to neopagan spirituality while still debunking the kind of silly claims gNat criticized. > Yes, but Ive found if you run into people, whether Christian or Neopagan > that need the symbol of a false fact, you might as well try talking > reasonably with a rabid dog.

Margaret Murray would probably say there was a whole underground movement of people practicing the "Old Religion" (which Wiccans would say was just like Wicca). I personally think there were plenty of people practicing pagan traditions like lighting bonfires on Beltane, but probably very few who were practicing any sort of actual religion. and if there were not any, how did all that >mess >get started?
