as for the efficacy of magic ? Ronald Hutton himself is respectful and sympathetic these days as a result of his studies.


He might be sympathetic to Wiccans but he actually describes Wicca as formed by modern people to express modern myth, which is the exact opposite of believing in magic.


I have not said otherwise, as you well know re. Wicca. I have read a comment from him that the extent of his research has made him more inclined to think that 'magic' may indeed work in some respects. He is sympathetic to this possibility in a manner that he was not previously.
