Neonism

Dr dear Dr: Are we seeing the rise of a sort of new something or other in the Eco-warriors of the moment, forcing through more and more vegan style carbon free agendas even involving governing bodies, or is this just imagination on the part of the refusenik population?

Could be imagination. Things metamorphosize all the time, so though it is unlikely that a green awareness project or green movement might in se lurch back into the past of some green magic circles or olde worlde green druid circles, it is still possible for all of that old panentheism to re-assert itself under new fresher headings in the modern world. People do migrate and so too do populist movements as they progress from being small-town side-shows to becoming bigger national platforms. So yes, though it is very rare for this sort of thing to occur, and one can only think of one isolated example in recent diocesan history in the diocese of Birmingham, still it might be possible, even feasible. Green magic is becoming popular among inexperienced practitioners of late. Something to look out for, for confessors maybe? Neons and their Neonism can exist. Thanks for the concerned question.
