Subject: RE: Folklore: Dancing up the sun
As an aside, I have noticed on occasion that some morrisers (new word) get a little heated when slightly paganistic inklings are associated with morris. It seems that the tradition of dancing is fine, but applying any broader/older/spiritual context is somehow frowned upon. Are there many schools of thought when it comes to what morris is all about? Perhaps it's a "new world" thing.

Food for thought.

Yours (with bells on)
