Yup.  I was in that and another semipagan net that went with it:  MASQUEnet.  
Both are dead as far as I'm concerned.  Same for Hairnet, the 3rd Australian 
paganoid net.
Once there were many many fractious and fractionated nets.  Now there is only 
PODS and the not inconsiderable set of Magick and Pagan-friendly echos on 
Fido.
(Technically, Independent Echo Block (with some remains of SkyNet) is not 
officially dead but that's mainly because Jimmac and I haven't the heart to 
break out the shovels to bury it.)

Likely Mysticalnet out of Baltimore.  Long dead.

If you find any, tell me.  I've monitored that echo for years.  For the last 
year or so, the moderator and list keeper has had hardware problems so the 
list wasn't maintained as usual.  OTOH, I think he finally got it going again 
recently.  OTOrigH, I doubt you'll find anything.
BUT ... WWIVnet and WWIV technology networks do have some pagan/magick echos I 
hear.  As far as I know, they're about the only serious non-FTN BBS activity 
left out there.
Well, better ammend that.  MajorBBS and some other software intended for giant 
multiline pay-systems had some networks too.
