GUEST,Morris-ey | Origin of Morris Dancing (66* d) | RE: Origin of Morris Dancing | 28 Apr 04 |
To answer the original question, I don't believe the dancers that Sharp collected from claimed any pagan origin for the morris. They did it to get beer money - just like today. The pagan/fertility bit is a fairly recent invention to blag the punters - oh, and the we're collecting for charidee scam. |
