The great god Ra whose shrine once covered acres
Is filler now for crossword-puzzle makers.

Well, it sounds like Merrie England is finally catching up to where the US was in the '60s and '70s with the Church of All Worlds and all the neo-pagans in LA, SF and NY: One thinks of the Gardnerite witches, the CoG blend of Trad and Feminist Wicca (remember Z Budapest?), Feriferia, New Reformed Order of the Golden Dawn, CES (the Egyptians), etc. Very, very curious. Lots of decent people, disenchanted with traditional Christianity, searching for some non-Eastern religious, mystical and magic traditions, with some environmental trappings, as a reaction to the utter vapidness of suburban American life and the emptiness of the drug culture.

I guess it's time to drag out the Margaret Murray again, tart up Gardner a bit more, and find that book on sex magick in time to see the naked young things at Beltane....
