Peter Carroll's Recent Article on Necromancy

In this article Carroll insists in his "modern QNP (Quantum Neo-Pagan) Magical Paradigm" (it appears as if he is toting this as a 'one' true approach to magick, the beginning of the red flags that mark this article imo) that:
"‘Spirits’ cannot exist in the old-fashioned Neoplatonic sense. Living creatures and natural phenomena do have their non-local quantum wave-functions which the magician can sometimes interact with, but such ‘aetheric’ or ‘astral’ manifestations of reality depend on the existence of the physical forms; they do not predate them in the Platonic or Neo-Platonic sense, and they do not survive their destruction. All Gods and gods and goddesses and ghosts and demons exist as Imaginary Friends (and enemies) within human minds, yet they can still have quite astonishing psychological and parapsychological effects."

He makes this statement after pointing out the long-time shamanic and cultural practices of venerating the ancestral dead, and it seems like an attempt at using westernization to invalidate these practices?

I'd like to know what other SA users think...
