However, I&#8217;m beginning to wonder if old-timers like us really grok what that word means to people today.<\/p>\n<p>Being of a modern turn of mind for all my grey hairs, I suspect crowdsourcing the answer is the way to go. (In the olden days, we called it &#8220;research.&#8221;) So I&#8217;m asking you, my readers, friends and fans, are you interested in giving me your perspective? With permission, I might quote you in the book.<\/p>\n<p>Tell me in brief, say, give or take 100 words, what Neopaganism means to you. What is important for other people to know about *your* Neopaganism? What do you want people to understand about that word?<\/p>\n<p>You can leave a comment here, or e-mail me at phaedrahps @ aol.com (it&#8217;s not a link; copy, paste and take out the spaces). If you e-mail, put &#8220;Neopagan Book&#8221; somewhere in your subject line.
