- Charlotte Allen, The
Scholars and the Goddess. Atlantic Monthly Digital Edition, January
2001: "...not a single element of the Wiccan story is true.... a distinctly
new religion, a 1950s concoction influenced by ... Masonic ritual and a
late-nineteenth-century fascination with the esoteric and the occult....
no indication, either archaeological or in the written record, that any
ancient people ever worshipped a single, archetypal goddess...."
- Norman Hugh Redington, "Rastafarians
and Orthodoxy". From Evangelion, Newsletter of the Orthodox
Society of St Nicholas of Japan (Arcadia, South Africa), Number 27,
September 1994: “Orthodoxy and Quasi-Orthodoxy”.
- "Bhutanese TV: Fast
Forward to Trouble": Four years ago, Bhutan, the fabled Himalayan
Shangri-la, became the last nation on earth to introduce television. Suddenly
a culture, barely changed in centuries, was bombarded by 46 cable channels.
And all too soon came Bhutan's first crime wave - murder, fraud, drug offences.
