“There is only one good excuse to stick around or study any of that voluntarily” — that’s actually what genuine scholars do, so the rest of us can educate ourselves. Or at least those of us who like knowing that sort of thing is going on in our benighted country. Possibly the FBI and CIA as well.

But your point about the average bozo getting his info from the dark corners of the internet is well-taken.

Life was a lot more fun when I was studying the rise of neo-Paganism and the Goddess movement 25 years ago, but I’ll ask anyway: are there some books or articles you could recommend about the OCA?

By the way, welcome to DU.
