There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

- He was all over the place, especially in neopagan circles. He gets invoked a lot by Tarot readers like Rachel Pollack and neopagans like Starhawk. This is how I heard of him well before he became a PBS celebrity. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 00:48, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
