Uh-oh. Duck! (this is almost as much of a "here we go again" subject as
"What is "gaffa"?)

Unfortunately (fortunately?) I have neither strong evidence nor strong 
opinions about the matter.

Clearly, Kate does have at least a casual interest in the spiritual, but 
there are as many strong traditional christian images in her songs as 
mystical images. And much of her mystical imagery hearkens to a 
christian-mystic tradition rather than a truly pagan or wiccan viewpoint.

No, no evidence quotes or lyrics at hand to support my views, though they 
do exist. Just a general impression.

I'll pass the ball on to someone else....
