Hi there, I believe Kathryn Rountree has studied New Zealand female
Goddess-worshipper Pagans. I thought the ones she was looking at were Juliet
Batten and co. (Author of "Celebrating the Southern Seasons: Rituals for
Aeotearoa". Tandem. 1995). Although my memory is a bit foggy on that. She
has also looked at the uses of the site of Catalhoyuk in Turkey by
Goddess-worshippers, and also Maltese sites by Pagans.
