Fieldguide to Identifiying Neopagans in the Wild

22 descriptions in all. Numbers 14 & 15 I have personally experienced.
1.
Bright-Eyed Novice 


You just read
this cool book about a religion where there's a Goddess and a God, and
they meet outside in nature, instead of some scary old building.
They think sex is GOOD not evil, and you want to know where to sign up.
DISTINGUISHING SIGNS: Mispronounces god/dess names, has to think a moment
about which is deosil and which is widdershins.  Has a shiny new athame
(rhymes with "A-frame".) 
2.
Grand Old Wo/Man 


Actually remembers
Woodstock (the first one.) Will tell you about the time they dropped acid
with Kerry Wendell Thornley - or maybe it was Robert Anton Wilson. Anyway,
it was somebody with three names. Or was it three people with one name? 


DISTINGUISHING
SIGNS: Luxuriant gray locks, listens very intently, knows dish about people
you've only read about.
