>>If you're interested in the ways that Neo-paganism has drawn on folklore
materials, have you read Hutton's "Triumph of the Moon" yet? It's more
recent than his "Stations of the Sun" and has a whole section on this topic,
plus much else that is of top-grade interest. For folklore in itself, of
course, the reading list would be huge, even for Britain alone.

Hi Jaqueline, yes I have read "Triumph of the Moon"and in fact I really love
it - I rather love Hutton - I'm a terrible groupie like that. I do need to
read it again, although I have re-read parts of it. I recall though, that it
was while reading a chapter, the last chapter I think, in "Stations of the
Sun" however that I got interested in the possibility of academics looking
at the use of folklore by Neo-Pagans, such as Gerald Gardner, who I know was
a member of the Folklore Society.
I've read your work as well, I'm sure... Didn't you write on Margaret
Murray? I see in the current Pomegranate journal that Catherine Noble has
written on Murray, but I was sure I'd read something not long ago on Murray
by you. Hmmm. .:shrug:.
