Although I don't consider myself pagan or Wiccan or Klingon, I do know that many pagans and non-pagans alike appreciate the writings of Starhawk, who has made quite a serious attempt at legitimizing her profession. I can't quite remember which profession she professes to be practicing--wiccan priestess, goddess priestess or something along those lines I think. Someone here will undoubtedly know what profession she claims and works to educate people about. She is also a fairly well known California political activist, although I have no idea how other political activists view her in terms of competency and effectiveness as an activist.
