Just had a wee look at your site there.
You may have read them already but these are worth a look and may help put the christianpagan current into a historical context:
The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580
Religion and the Decline of Magic
Also, the recent group read here shows similar overlap between the xtian mainstream and faerie lore:
The Visions of Isobel Gowdie: Magic, Witchcraft and Dark Shamanism in Seventeenth-Century Scotland
These are only some of the texts covering 15/16/17th cent, there are plenty more covering other periods.
This crossover/amalgam has a much older pedigree than the more modern wicca.
My blog is both a book blog and a pagan topics blog. I write about pagan topics weekly (http://samanthacfischer.com/pagan-facts) and I write book reviews for other indie authors, and sometimes other books I read by more traditionally published authors(http://samanthacfischer.com/reviews). if anyone is interested in having me review their book they can check out my review submissions page (http://samanthacfischer.com/submissio...)


It's not specifically pagan/witchy, but you can filter reviews by using tumblr's tagging system. I tag all my reviews with their respective genres.

Being a recluse and a social media phobe (not the best for an indie author with a new book just out...) I have to declare an interest, but will just wait to see what happens with this thread before getting a wet toe... :)
