It could also be argued that these teachings are more generally available
than other esoteric techniques, such as alchemy and qabala, and that is why
one might be oriented (so to speak) towards them. Or, that the awakening has
also created a resonance with work done in previous incarnations. Comparing
wicca to laya yoga is like comparing a Hershey's bar to a Belgian
truffel.....there is no comparison beyond both being candy and chocolate.
Western esotericism covers these things quite well, only ecclesiastical
bigotry from the past has manifested in spiritual ignorance in the present as
far as Middle Eastern and European esoteric practices goes. If you would
like some references on ritual gestures I can supply them, but you need to
read either French or German.
