Description

“Of value to folklorists interested in religion, social groups, and the development and use of expressive culture by subgroups. Finally, though, its greatest importance may lie simply in the fact that it exists, and by its being, quietly calls for sociologists, anthropologists, and folklorists to do more such work.”– Journal of American Folklore

Fairly accurate in its description of the New Reformed Orthodox Order of the Golden Dawn (disguised as the Aquarian Age Order) in the late 70s. The order still exits, for more information see _Drawing Down the Moon_ by Margot Adler.
