Ordinary Mystic

I was involved with the Jehovah’s Witnesses for a number of years and am very familiar with their view of the star of Bethlehem.  My position now is that it serves no purpose to be dogmatic one way or the other.  That said, I can still see the logic behind interpreting the star as being a tool of Satan. 
While the scruptures do not say that the magi were led to Jerusalem, for some reason it didn’t lead them to the child as it did after they went to Jerusalem. So either it did lead them to Jerusalem or it led them to the general area where they needed to start asking more questions. Why ?

The scriptures specifically state that Jehovah sent an angel to the magi in a dream. But nowhere does it associated Jehovah with the star.  Why not?

But this all presupposes that there is a sharp division between belief in Jehovah and all other beliefs.  The magi followed the star as part of their spirituality, not because they “obeyed Jehovah”.  That their spirituality resulted in their recognizing that an important event had occurred shows the validity of their spirituality.   They could look for signs in the heavens and also within dreams.  Their motives were pure. They didn’t need to be Jewish. 
But dogma serves no purpose except to divide. Christmas is not solely the realm of Christianity, but embraces many forms of spiritualty as evidence by the eclectic mix of traditions, from pagan tree decorating and solstice observance to high mass and baby-in-a-manger worship. (You do know that Jesus was not a babe in a manger when the magi visited, right?)
