New Article

This article is not a revival of the old one which was deleted because it was just a direct cut-and-paste from a website, but a new article with information culled from several sources and a partial bibliography I just assembled. I hope to contribute more info as time goes on. Rosencomet 19:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am hoping to keep this article here, and feel it should not be weighted down with phrases like "has continued an eclectic tradition that respectfully draws from various beliefs, seeking to find those underlying ties that bring people together". This is good advertising copy, but merely someone's opinion of her intent. Also, without some citation to support it, I can't see including "She has been humorously called the "Martha Stewart" of Neo-Paganism". By whom?

Also, statements like "Note: those wishing to book an event should try to contact her at least 6 months in advance" and "Her website offers readings, dream interpretation, gift certificates, autographed books, and booking information with a travel schedule" belong in a catalog or on a website, not in an encyclopedia. On the other hand, much of the info that was deleted by this editor IS encyclopedic and DOES belong here, like the organizations she is a member of. I hate to say it, but these changes sound like someone wants to substitute everything associated with witchcraft with New-Age copy that sounds less "controversial", and include info about hiring her services and buying her products. They may think they are doing her a favor, but they don't understand how Wikipedia works, or why the previous article was deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosencomet (talk • contribs) 21:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
