Really like that May Day hymn JTT. Though as you say, the 'sugary version' isn't all that great.

Personally I rather enjoy the ambiguity in much Catholic imagery, and indeed some of the pragmatic folk magical practices (remnants of earlier pre-Christian practices, which became absorbed into the new Christian Cult?) that would have had many a devout Catholic burned as a witch. It possibly appeals more to me than some of the more blatant contemporary Pagan material out there.

In fact there are plenty of Protestants who might think that Catholicism is a heathen Idolotrous religion too... ;-)
