I'm reading Where is St George now, picked up at Treadwells bookshop in Bloomsbury a few days ago, and it's very interesting, plainly and clearly written, without any 'new age nonsense' while at the same time pointing to and explaining ritual remnants in a handful of 'magical' songs carried down through the centuries in the oral tradition. Some of the rather Gradgrindian remarks on this thread are drearily typical of a certain form of mindset, and about as aspiring as migraine!
