TeaDidikai CuAnnan I'm gonna wait until I have other comments from scholars. Having one on it's own it would be lonely. But I'm curious! gonk Post it here?
Ronald Hutton Thank you for your question. I fear that I cannot really help you, because I am an expert in British paganism, old and new, and Witta, whatever it is, seems to be entirely an American phenomenon.

Just a thought... It might make the reading better if you draw a line between her mail and your response. It reads like she made the whole page.
Other then that, looks great and I wonder what her response will be when she finds out. xd
Edit: I've been looking at her site too. xd
Edain site How does Edain react to negative book reviews? "Books are subjective and cannot please everyone. I try to take negative book reviews and examine them from all points I feel are valid criticisms, then I try to find better information, a better way of phrasing, or confirmation from another source before repeating the same mistake. Sometimes when I'm reading a reviewer I cringe from fear that I actually wrote a sentence that stupid. Then I pray, 'Dear, Goddess, please tell me I didn't really write that?' Sometimes the error is in interpretation. I could have made my statement with more clarity. Other times I just bash my head with the book a few times--a sort of scourging ritual for authors who did not triple check sources. In those cases I'm quite grateful to have the mistake pointed out, hopefully in time to correct it before a second printing."
Grateful? eek
Edit two: This just keeps getting better.
Quote: Has she ever refused to answer an e-mail or letter? "I've never 'refused.' When I can't answer someone it's an issue of time. My inbox can receive 300 or more e-mails a day. Answering each one would be a full time job. I do read all incoming e-mail. I've also been lucky that even the readers who have negatives to point out are mature enough to do so in the spirit of mutual learning, and they approach their letter with polite but firm directness and a harm none attitude. Those I usually answer and, in most cases, I find the person on the other end to be a deep thinker and we get a really profound e-mailing of ideas going for a while. Even if we don't change one another's minds, we've learned to think about an issue in a new light and I just love that.
You must be one of the deep thinkers? And she did refuse further E-mails from you right?
Edains site "Have no fear of speaking up if you don't agree with something I write or think, or if you know of a source that contradicts ones I used. I want to continue to learn too." xd Really? So when someone who did his homework and actually used real sources points out that Edain is wrong, Edain will happily want to learn from that? That would be great, right? biggrin
