Key difference: ancient pagan priests and shamans never discovered DNA or understood how an embryo develops. They never invented cloning or gene therapy. So I believe these so called "neo-pagans" are in fact a very unique case and are actually producing results. So perhaps you are not at all correct when you try to imply they are no different who "read & divine the signs" of "nature" and thus serve as your 'final authority" This too, is exactly as it was in ancient pagan civilizations.
