    Heill List,

    I took the time to review the site, and I hate being a critic, however, for the benefit for others. Pagan Mystics is a newly formed group for new-agers, wiccans, and the master blenders of beliefs. They accept any member of any background and support their claims in any way. Which in light this is not a bad thing for the ones who wishes to run this path. But my problem in this is that they spam their information a group that is designed to keep heathens together. Now the problem that lerks in this is that heathens don't really care to much for the master blenders. In pagan mystic they have used many aspects to support their pet-theories: archaeology, history, and myths to name a few, which is a ill way to reconstruct or support and claims, IMHO. As such, when blending the brew of beliefs or religious practises, should be just the same as mixing mud with chocolate. Will there be a creation? Sure! Will it be any good? Well that is a opinion I would rather not research.

    So for the master brewers, new-agers, wiccans, and any other made up belief out there, this is for you.

    But for the serious heathens, this is indeed a comic relief, and worth little time in.

    I rate it, zero stars.

    Best,
    Mike

      Zero stars might be a little harsh, Mike -- but only a little. I would give them at least half a twinkle for listing the following objective:

      "provide our members with accurate, historical and modern material for a further study on the many paths 'Paganism' has to offer."

      Of course, there's no way to know what those words mean to the person who wrote it, or whether this group would actually recognize accurate, historical, scholarly material if they saw it, or would have access to such material in the first place. But just using the phrase merits some recognition, imo, since it at least sets them apart from all the groups who think they've learned all there is to know about "paganism" by watching Harry Potter, Charmed, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

      Best,
      Rorik
