- THE Old Religion? Which one?
-
- I have asked this question many times, and have yet to receive a straight
- answer:
- Which pre-twentieth-century culture practiced Wicca?
-
- This is a serious question. I am somewhat familiar with Greek, Roman,
- Celtic, and Germanic folklore (I'm looking for good sources on Slavic and
- Finnish folklore, BTW) and have yet to see anything that remotely resembles
- Wicca or modern paganism.
