  • I was pleasantly surprised by this, looking at your sources I hadnt expected something this well researched with the authors cited. Its interesting to hear the scottish pronunciation too. Bullaí mná!

  • James Fraser may tend to go wild on his conclusions, but his basic research is fine (for the time period). And you don't get much better than Ronald Hutton for pagan related historical facts.

  • This was extremely well-researched and well-presented. This contains a lot of informaiton that other pieces on the subject don't and you always choose your sources well. Could you possibly do more, perhaps on the Moon in Wicca, Lunasa and Samhain? I would be interested in the ancient midwinter festivals in Scotland and Ireland.

  • Intelligent, well spoken, and beautiful, a rarity these days, bless you.

  • @PaganLayla Hmm.. I tried to attach, but it's not showing up :(

  • I made a video on how the modern tradition of Walpurgis-nacht came to be. In Scandinavia and Germany big fires are still lit on the evening leading to the first of may. I will be visiting a big public fire tonight. :)

    I hope you don't mind that I attached the video I made. :)

  • Thank you so much!

  • cool

  • She's CUTE!!! :)

  • XD No, they have any proof that prehistoric goddess worship was anything else like Wicca. They only found the paintings and the idols, maybe broken pieces of old brooms from the same time period, but nothing like wands, cauldrons, or athames. Then again, the cavemen were fascinated with the lunar eclipse, and we all know how important the moon is to Wicca.
