I don't know about blogs and such but I have personally met several "big name" pagans in my years of being Pagan. Most are internationally known like Oberon Zell, Pete "pathfinder" Davis, BlackSun, and Paul Beyerl. The last three lived in the greater Seattle area. Pete Davis has passed on and has left a legacy that will last. They are/were all very good people. I have a personal and professional reference from Paul Beyerl to use since I moved out of the Seattle area. I first met Pete back in the late 70s just a bit before the wars started over his wanting to form a Wiccan Church called the ATC. He was successful and the ATC was one of, if not, the first Wiccan 501c3 churches in the USA. I deeply admired the man and the priest that he was.
I have also known some "elders" that should have been "dealt with" for their obnoxious and childish behavior towards "interlopers" who had more to offer than some elders. It turns out that people are people no matter the title they wear or the religion they follow.
