Well, my knowledge of Feri would fit on that postcard with plenty of room to spare for greeting, wish you were here etc. But. What you write reminds me of Gardnerian and even more so, Alexandrian Wicca over the years. It has become so diluted as to bear little or no resemblance to its original form. Maybe that's as it should be for either progress, or, as you say, protection of those who, like yourself, prefer a fairly quiet existence. From my standpoint, I usually let such things pass with the odd wry smile.
