AAR permits simultaneous submissions to more than one subgroup, so you
should send it to both the Western Esotericism group and the
Comtemporary Pagan Studies consultation. The automatic form makes it
clear how to do this on-line. Bear in mind that if the paper is
accepted, you will have to join AAR, which is not as cheap as it should
be. It is also an enormous conference -- around 9,000 people show up at
each annual meeting.
