Yeah, she came up in the Bella and the Witch Elm episode because she was saying like Bella was murdered by a witch cult. And she's one of the people who argued that the modern European witches trace their lineage unbroken back to fertility feminist cult that's been in the British Isles ever since time immemorial. And that's one of the things that's been debunked is that it's just not true.

Like the Christian church. and in their turn Judaism and Islam as well, did such a thorough job of interrupting the transmission from the ancient world to the modern world that it's just not really possible. Now, that's not to say that in certain super rural, local areas, there's not folk traditions that actually do date back really far. I mean, everybody's seen Wicker Man.

But the thing is, like, Wicker Man would be actually a bad example because that, like, is an actual ritual. They knew exactly what they were doing. They were performing rites, that kind of stuff.

By the way, Chuck, Yumi and I have a friend named Alex Mary who's an artist. And she does something called Morris dancing. And a lot of the Morris dances like resemble paganism.
