Academic Study of Paganism Mentioned in the New York Times

The upcoming sessions of the Contemporary Pagan Studies Group at the American Academy of Religion's annual meeting are mentioned in the New York Times. Some of us have been joking about "the I-word" (idolatry). I wondered if that would catch some...

'Occult Park' Resurrected in Dallas

And apparently it is causing the Dallas Cowboys to lose football games. Hecate has the details. How come ace Dallas religion blogger Rod Dreher has not been all over this one?
