ERGH. While there's an understandable appeal to this "build your own religion" movement, the idea of fabricating a faith tailored to one's own individual beliefs, those who follow them should have the good sense to remember that THEY FABRICATED IT. This stuff isn't called NEO-Paganism just to sound trendy. What most folks think of as "traditional Celtic religion" is about as old as Christianity — not the "sooo much older and therefore more legitimate" than teen "witches" like to claim. The Golden Dawn was founded in the 1880s. Wicca was made up around WWII. "Thousands of years" my ass.
Hear hear.
