Well, not exactly...Magicknet is/was a privately distributed echo that
|
|
was started mainly to let people know about some ickyness that was going on in
|
|
regards to some Anti-Pagan/Witch legislation...and grew...For the longest time
|
|
there was just Magicknet (the echo), which then absorbed Alternate_Religions,
|
|
a small, local Pagan echo which I ran. As things grew, it was split by the
|
|
moderator, Brad Hicks, into three separate echos: Magicknet, discussing things
|
|
relating to Pagan religions and Magick and Ceremonial Magick; Mundane, a pagan
|
|
"Chat" echo; and Metaphysical, a place for "magazine quality" articles.
|
|
|
|
Then Brad stepped down as moderator due to time constraints and
|
|
such...and things continued to grow...so it was decided to "formalize" the
|
|
network, and call it something. The Pagan Distribution Network was the fav,
|
|
but due to the fact that it was already used in the Fidonet Nodelist for
|
|
somethingelse...we fell back upon the Pagan/Occult Distribution System, or
|
|
PODS.
