In that case, my whole library would probably cause your head to explode. :)
But remember, I'm one of those strange people who believe in God (I'm an orthodox Jew) as well as believe that there is a structure to reality that can be observed and manipulated (basically magic). And I'm not that much different than most of the other orthodox Jews I know. Makes that whole 'post modern mindset' conversation take on a different meaning. 
You've got a whole group of people who are professionals in the modern world (I'm a rather famous programmer in my field) who also drop it all when the Sabbath or holidays come up, follow strange and 'archaic' laws and see no problem in the life they lead. If we were in the UA universe, I'd have to say we fit more with the 'old schools' of occultism more than any of the new ones. (Of course, I may be a true infomancer rather than that false one in PoMoMa)
