K. Paul McDonald:

asks about White Moon Cults.

>How widespread and powerful *is* this movement?

About as powerful and widespread as Christians in Nero's time.

>What teachings is it based on?

It is based on common misunderstandings of mainstream Lunar Philosophy. Its teachings are generally utopian: people join the cult because they are dissatisfied with aspects of the Empire and so it rejects much of the good things of the Empire: like taxes, organized government etc.

>Where can I find more info!

Nothing published AFAIK. The best place to look would be Nick Brooke's webpages at
