Dear Chas
sounds cool - i agree that there probably are people who self-identify
as witches but who don't do anything more than that -
I just question the assumption that
an 'emphasis on nature religion/earth religion' would lead to
'a de-emphasizing of magic,' - its certainly not my experience -
and i suspect its a presupposition -
but up to me to write my own book on i guess ; )

PS:
on GD debate i posted the following -
'Many years ago Mike Magee suggested in a journal called 'Sothis' - that the
tantrik 'Shri Yantra' may have played a role in the directional symbolism
used by the GD - there is some similarity between this glyph and 'the rose
cross lamen' - given that several other colour symbols in the GD came from
tantrik sources its a theory that might be worth considering. '
