Distinguishing Myth from History: Understanding Margaret Murray’s Legacy
For us Neopagans, myths are more than mere stories; they are sacred narratives that guide our rituals and beliefs. Yet, when we confuse these myths with historical facts, we risk building our spiritual practices on shaky ground. Margaret Murray's work is a prime example. Her interpretations of witchcraft have profoundly influenced modern neopaganism. By understanding the distinction between her interpretations and historical facts, we can enrich our practices with both wisdom and authenticity.
