I met Isaac Bonewits at a pagan festival, I'm going to guess about 1986. He was *exactly* as you describe him. Hugely inflated ego, always had his arm around the waist of some young woman, or two, or even three.
But as you pointed out they all looked quite happy to be there.
He was one of the (as we used to call them) "BNPs" - Big Name Pagans, who was insistent that pagans of all persuasions must have a paid clergy. I was all of about 22 and I could see that wasn't going to happen.
