YO- friends of the Wiccan/Pagan persuasion

No, that's not true.

I like good ritual too. Deep meaning is a key part of it being good, though, and I think most of the rituals people engage in don't possess that but are done simply because it is expected of them in some way and doesn't come primarily from an internal desire.

I've been quite moved by Mass when among the deeply devout and found it all silly when among people who only go once a year on Easter so that their moms will stop nagging.

Damn it Alex, there you go sneaking out of your pigeon-hole again. Now I'm going to have to find someone else to apply my broad generalities to...

Wow, I couldn't agree more.
