Dear Friend
True but more often associated with Odinism and, has to be said, Setians.
The UK BNP would have very much liked more Pagan members, they have some
but they are very periferal (to the Pagan movement)-
the Oxford Pagan community recently excluded a member when it became
known he was a BNP activist -
there was a great deal of interest in this decision amongst other pagan
communities fearful of BNP entrism.
