Poorly written, I'm afraid, but I think I get the jist of it. It has some interesting things to say about the public image on projects. While it's correct in one sense that it's not a wise idea to judge a book by its cover, it missed the fact that, if you are going to dress and act like you treat Paganism as a fad, don't get offended if people treat you in that manner.

It sure had a lot of question marks in the wrong places! I found it hard to read. I suppose what the author was trying to get at is that many Wiccans put too much emphasis on Goddesses and not enough on Gods?
I'm not a Wiccan though, I'm an Asatruar. I also don't wear pentagrams or say "Oh my Goddess".

I liked it, and in part because i had an experience similar to that a few years back.
I was leaving a festival that strongly encouraged tribal garb and dress. my "normal" cloths had gotten soaked in the rain.
I had been officiating at a moon ceramony and was wearing my only dry cloths. my robes, (that are anything but subtile) my crane bag and other items that i used in rituals. i was embarking on a 9 hour trip home and did not want to be in wet cloths...
a stop at a gas station in Tennessee brought me face to face with a very irate Pagan mother of 4.
she had just finished a conversation with her children about not proposfully draeing attention to ourselves and here i come walking into a gas station in the bible belt wearing brown robes with a penticle in the back and the Ogam runes sewn into the hemlines.
she asked me what i was doing, and i responded in my normal smartass manner, "paying for gas". Do you realize that you are trivilizing our religion? ahhh the point. then i explained to her that i was comming from a gathering that was held in a primitive camping enviroment and that all of my cloths were soaked due to 3 days of rain. and that i was driving home to MD and did not wish to do so naked or wet. not that nudity bothers me, but many others do not understand it.
turns out that she was on her way to pick up her husband at said event. and him and i had become friends.
we laugh about it now. and sometimes talk of the possibility of having just decided to drive home nude.

I feel her pain.
I just wish she had better grammar.
