I had a similar and equally unforgettable experience of the Abbott's Bromley Horn Dance, at Mendocino English Week a couple of summers ago. And Peter Kennedy, when first performing the dance he helped work out, wrote of a tremendously powerful experience for dancers and audience alike. So here in North America we have created a powerful, meaningful and moving tradition. It is quite distinct from the "real" tradition as it has evolved back in Abbott's Bromley. Both are alive, growing, changing. But no one should mistake the North American tradition for an authentic survival of pagan ritual.
