I've tried this book twice before and never gotten far, but the schedule is helping a lot.<br /><br />My kid and I both want a 'dodgy anthropology' shelf, which would include Alfred Watkins, among others. On my wish list are "The Gate of Horn" by Gertrude Rachel Levy, and "The Witch-Cult in Western Europe" by Margaret Murray, with is of the same date as The Golden Bough. I don't know Jane Harrison, but would be happy to learn!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-28529002670276048632020-06-17T21:09:08.210-07:002020-06-17T21:09:08.210-07:00Yikes!

What else can we put under this label?
