woo is increasingly often used within the pagan community too, to refer to anything from actually having a conversation with your gods/spirits, to dream/trance work, UPG (unverified personal gnosis) etc. mostly due, i think, to the increasing trend of discrediting anything to do with actual spirit-work with deity as a living breathing personality, and leaning towards describing them as metaphors, abstracts, archetypes, etc. (which is all well and good until one of them reaches over, gives you a good shaking, and tells you to sit down and damn well LISTEN to your elders for a change. >_>; )
