Nice to know you're a Fortean Times reader Sedayne - it's gone a bit downhill in recent years but still pretty good. I'll pick up a copy and have a pike at your letter - nice one for getting published.

There is a certain pleasure to be taken from the irony that a Christian creation (although I personally still reserve judgement on that) is being hijacked by the modern pagan movement and subverted for their own ends*.

About bloody time too.

*I agree - this is a subject worthy of discussion. I wonder if the process of paganisation of the Green Man is analogous to the sort of myth-making we see with urban myths. I feel the motivations might be different, but it would make an interesting subject for study.
