Amber Rant: The lack of seriousness among the contemporary Pagan community with regards to priesthood. People being unable to function without an elder figure. Alleged leaders not knowing their religion and relying on others to think for them. High Priests so absorbed by self-indulgence with sex and/or hallucinogens.
