I had been thinking of replying to this but struggling with real ambivalence about the man. I admired his ongoing protest at Stonehenge Arthur's Protest but how can you take seriously someone who describes himself as the living embodiment of what is probably a mythical figure. If he said he thought was Jesus he would probably be certified.

With regard to the point about putting 'pagan' down as religion at the next census - I have a problem with that Branwen. I don't describe myself as a pagan though do have the highest regard for Nature and the cycle of the year. Should I say 'sky-watcher' or 'nature-lover'; the attraction for a lot of pagans is that it is not a religion - though I do accept being an initiated Druid or Wiccan could be described as such.
