Just like assuming that all who practice wicca also follow some kind of emasculating feminist dogma and have a tendency to over look the god in favor of the godess. Sometimes even excluding him as most of the new agers appear to do with all the lesser spirits and deities related to the craft.

All of which is inmaterial to what the op has asked.

To find out if there are more people of her exact or related faith who are submissives or otherwise she may wish to provide us with a basic outline as to what exactly her faith professess.

As too weather or not this faith will be in opposition to her masters chosen philosophy, it would be helpful to know exactly what type of Gorean he professess to be.

Especially before one goes to making assumptions with no basis about one or the others compatability.

My husband is both a practisioner of the craft and a Gorean and he doesnt have any conflicts of intrest or transvergence of faith over it. Who is to say that her faith and her masters philosophy dont actually go hand in hand in a way that will prove to be fruitfulul to both of them?
If my post came over as hostile to the poster or her Master, I apologise for the mistaken impression, that was not at all my intention.

I am well aware of the wide range of beliefs and religio-political attitudes included in the Wiccan faith (including some paths that are solidly male-dominated in both doctrine and practice), though I'm not personally acquainted with anyone calling themself Dianic. As I've noted, I have my own experience of the problems in reconciling a maledom lifestyle and a serious devotion to the Goddess. That's why I'm keen to learn more about people who seem to have an even more... interesting... spiritual journey to make.
