You're very good at asking questions Paulus and very bad at answering them (re: the questions to you in my last post). Perhaps you should cool down a bit, and if you read the whole of this thread you'll see why so many people both here and on other threads have become irritated with Mr Carr (who actually hasn't imputed anything).

And on the personal insult theme; this from your own profile, "And please don't get any ideas about the modern New-Age shamans [or pagan-druids for that matter] being owt like the real thing, cos they're not: they're shams not shamans!)"*

Shams not shamans? Do you not consider that may be insulting to the pagans and druids who post on TMA? Time to take a long hard look at yourself Paulus. Meanwhile, please feel free to post on this thread, but unless you and Mr Carr have anything of worth to contribute to it don't expect any further replies from me.
