- Regarding magick, there's a wide variety of styles, beliefs,
- philosophies, but enough agreement on basics that people
- generally are able to communicate.
-
- I've seen far more material on magick than I have on
- survivalists. Do the survivalists tend to belong to mainstream
- environmental groups? Do they have any BOOKS they point to
- as classic texts? Now if there was an alt.land-scarfers group, I
- wouldn't have had to ask.:)
-
- Most importantly, what exactly do you see as the connection between
- survivalism and magick? (Despite the length of the apocalypse
- discussion, it was never clear to me what people involved thought
- was the connection.)
