If we would claim to honor diversity, then we must accept that it exists, and that some of this diversity will show up in ways we find distasteful. Karl Lembke is a 37 year old Wiccan who began exploring the Pagan Path at age 12. Formally initiated twelve years ago, he has continued to explore the basic truths in all religions. Among his many projects, he is working on an extensive commentary on the Wiccan Rede, a first draft of which may be found on his web page. Mundanely, Karl works for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and lives in the highlands of Tujunga, a thriving Pagan community.
