But I gotta say that the notion that folks circling with me are only present until something better comes along for them makes me uneasy. I do consider being a Pagan in these times as different from taking a mini-vacation in PaganLand.

I'm tired of "occult wisdom" and the conspiracy theory style of history embraced by too many Pagans. But there are intellectual Pagans out there. Check out <a href="http://metapagan.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">MetaPagan</a> and its <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=FvI9BMf32xG6JiZ6CB2yXQ" rel="nofollow">feed</a> for lots of intelligent Pagan blogposts. @ Mrs Chili, Try my site, the <a href="http://pagantheologies.pbwiki.com/" rel="nofollow">Pagan theologies wiki</a>. @ Derek,

I'm accused of being a pagan all the time, and it's a label I don't necessarily resist, but I think it might be a good idea for me to know a little more about it if I'm going to allow myself to be associated with it.

I think your point about pagan ideals and pagan thought not aligning seems accurate, but it could possible also lump the fringe and the media that is driven for (and also by) that fringe.
