The Rhenish Missionary Society (100.7).
I agree that Geli's personal beliefs and practices are presented positively
(more or less) in the text. I wouldn't call it an organised religion,
however. And I'm not sure that the Wiccan reading of the text which you seem
to be hinting at really holds up.
It's interesting how the image and experience of Geli the witch riding
Slothrop's cock in the Brockengespenstphänomen (330-1) is repeated in the
occupation newspaper logo (694.1-8). Another perversion. Poor Slothrop.
