What do you practice?

I am curious because most people who have looked beyond the new age trend and read more than Scott Cunningham know that the stolen holidays thing is greatly exagerated.

Even Joseph Bearwalker Wilson, one of the founders of the neopagan movement, is unhappy with things.

"...I'm actually very disappointed. I had hoped that by developing a widespread Pagan movement I would discover people who would be interested in the deeper philosophies and practices with which I am familiar. Instead we have a large mass of people who think that all they need is to read a couple of newage books and they really don't have to work for anything. I'm sad. We have a 'gimmie' culture and the Pagan movement seems to have adopted the worst aspects of it, stealing or appropriating from anywhere they can and claiming 'rights' to it."



Just a curious bystander.
