In this text he makes the astonishing admission that when he wrote his earlier polemics, Pagan Religions and Triumph, that he intentionally omitted any data that he came across that showed ties and parallels between modern Witchcraft and ancient Paganism. Why this admission seems to have made no stir within the Pagan community, I cannot claim to know. I quoted him, verbatim, on the Witches Voice FB page and the moderator, there, Peg Aloi, deleted my post that amounts to censorship and willful blindness by the Pagan community! 8. ---.
