Uh . . .     I have been a Crowley-obsessed Witch [or Witch wannabe]  
with severe bipolar disorder. I've lived with and worked with Crowley- 
obsessed Witches and have been handfasted to a Witch or two in my  
time. Geli Tripping is my favorite Pynchon character. And so it goes.

Please direct me to the website or the archives, I'm interested.

Nothing to be sorry about. This is how we learn.

It's only lately that I have come around to understanding that Pynchon  
inserts Witches into his stories not because he's a member of  
N.R.O.O.G.D. but because they are heresy incarnate.
