		<description><![CDATA[Of late, the Pagan blogosphere has been abuzz with the startling news that Kathy Lee Gifford is an ignorant twit.  This came on the heels of the announcement that George W. Bush is a fascist douchebag and Brittany Spears is crazy.  So many shocking revelations are apt to give one the vapors!
Actually, that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 	Previously, I have spoken of a particular instance of &#8220;Confusing the Planes.&#8221;  The description of what this refers to was necessarily brief.  I feel this concept needs further explanation, as much esoteric and magickal writing one finds on the internet tends to lack a general structural understanding.  This leads to multiple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this intriguing post on John Crow&#8217;s Treasure House of Pearls.
It starts with (wait for it) a couple of Crowley quotes concerning the protection of the &#8220;unfit&#8221; and how it &#8220;degrades&#8221; society.  Mr. Crow then goes into a short essay which seems oddly Collectivist for the tribe of Fundamentalist Crowlians he has [...]]]></description>

One of the main aspects of the Path that we find attractive, even key, is the thing which makes the &#8220;mainstream&#8221; shun, mock, and otherwise revile it.

But Fred Kaplan&#8217;s Daydream Believers: How a Few Grand Ideas Wrecked American Power may be the most broad-based assault yet.  In it, Kaplan hammers on everything from the White House&#8217;s faith in military technological superiority to its holier-than-thou [...]]]></description>
