Never mind!
"Solo Dios sabe hacer de los venenos remedio".
Francisco de Quevedo
Furor celticus.
Fakery in neo-paganism isn't a new thing; I used to be one of them, and I know the kind of nonsense that they engage in and believe in. I dabbled in Asatru (aka Odinism) for years until my common sense told me what a crock it was, trying to resurrect the worship of dead deities.
Regards.

As the article indicates, muck from the 1,800's...
“La verdadera fe es incolora, por decirlo así, como el aire y el agua; medio transparente a través del cual el alma ve a Cristo. Nuestros ojos no ven el aire y de la misma manera nuestra alma no se detiene a contemplar su propia fe. Cuando, por consiguiente, los hombres toman esta fe como si dijéramos en las manos, la inspeccionan curiosamente, la analizan, se absorben en ella, se ven forzados a materializarla, a darle color para que pueda ser tocada y vista. En otros términos, sustituyen a ella, colocan sobre ella, cierto sentimiento, cierta impresión, cierta idea, cierta convicción, algo en fin en que la atención pueda prenderse. Cristo les interesa menos que lo que llaman ellos sus experiencias. Los vemos trabajando para seguir en sí mismos los signos de la conversión, la variación de sus sentimientos aspiraciones y deseos: los vemos ponerse a conversar con los demás sobre todo esto. ”. John Henry Newman
Furor celticus.
Muck from the 1800s that's been taken as representing true and hidden wisdom that's been passed down from ancient times, which isn't true at all. A great deal of what modern pagans believe in, and practice, is based upon very scant historical evidence. A few try to make an effort to be as accurate as possible, but.. These sorts of people seem to be in the minority; most neopagans just dwell in a world of wishful thinking and make-believe.

I have a particular dislike of Wicca and things which steal from authentic pagan mythology.
I don't like the theft of Celtic imagery or names. These people who call themselves "druids" and go clothed in white to Stonehenge or dance naked in woods, hugging trees and praying to the Earth Goddess have really no clue. We don't know for certain what Celtic religious practices were like, but we have some clues from Christian writings, pre-Christian classical writers, the pre-Christian oral traditions of the native pagan cultures themselves and archaelogy. I think it's fair to say that they were a rather unpleasant and bloody affair.
It is fashionable among the New Age movement to try to debunk things such as human sacrifice. But there is too much collaborating evidence from a variety of sources to sweep it under the carpet. Most New Age hippies would baulk even at the idea of the tarbhfheis ritual, far less the Triple-Fold ritual killing of humans.
If you are going to do something, at least do it properly. And then be prepared to serve a lengthy prison sentence afterwards

Abortion?
"And, as we Catholics know, Western Civilization is Roman Civilization, first classical Roman Civilization, then Roman Catholic Civilization, as the Christians preserved and carried classical Roman Civilization to the world in a Christianized form. That is, after all, why we are described as Roman Catholics."

Abortion is a present day version of human sacrifice. We're back to the time when they offered babies to the god Moloc.

Something that the Romans accused the Carthaginians of and one of the reasons I've heard, albeit a very minor one, that Carthage was raised to the ground.

I read of more than one Feminist declaring that abortion is a modern day sacrament.
I think you can guess the nature of whatever religion considers infanticide a sacrament.
Furor celticus.
Immoral and monstrous.
