I just finished the book by Paul Kingsnorth .. 'Against the machine'. I commented a bit earlier to your post, but can't locate it.

In essence, he was a Wiccan at one point and discussed Alistair Crowley's 'Do what thou wilt' Thelema's message (which was a title to one of his chapters) and at some point turned to Orthodox Christianity (and lived for a spell in Athos monastery, Greece (I think)).

Ultimately admitted as being a 'radical reactionary' and proud of it.

I found out he was a writer for 'The Ecologist'.

I noticed you have commented a couple of years ago on his rightward turn.

Bit of a messy book. At the beginning he was waxing lyrical about his camper van that brought his family together for years, and then had a rant against the cars near the end .. i.e. not consistent.
