Fascinating, Richard and I appreciate how you show the connections among Wicca and tantra and shamanism and siddhis.

Henotheism is the worship of one God, Mother Nature, without reference to the rest. All the polytheistic Sky Gods are personifications of the forces of Mother Nature - all the other Gods are worshiped, that deserve to be worshiped: the Sky itself, the Sun, the Moon, the Dawn; trees, rocks, totems, poles, rocks, and fetishes. According to Delia, a self-described Wiccan on Google Groups, explained Wicca as as set of practices, with no theology of its own. In this sense, Wicca is tantric - what works, works. A Wiccan is able to become immortal like the gods themselves - through a process of yoga. A Wiccan is then a siddha, a person who is able to transcend the limitations of the physical world. A tantric siddha adept like Rama Lenz can fly; fill lecture halls with golden light; walk through walls; make themselves invisible; and attain immortality. A Wiccan is thus a shaman, from the indian prakrit, shramana, a striver.
