[pagan-magik] flyer

[steve ash]

Okay. I use it in my Templar project (and others
projects probably) but there it's qualified as what it
means (a state of perfect eqaulity and freedom) and
Blake's Jerusalem is almost a kind of 'national
anthem' of the spiritual pagan anarchist movement (or
at least I hear it played at most of the activist
squats I go to and at least one RTS action), and I
have no probs with 'religious imagery' just religious
belief, but that said I think you are right about the
unqualified use of the term on the flyer, and so won't
use it.
