	Amazon.ca: Witches, Druids and King Arthur: Books: Ronald Hutton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Hutton is known for having a deep and sympathetic understanding of past and present beliefs that are often dismissed, and an ability to write lucidly and wittily.
		Hutton goes on to describe how he tried to use oral traditions to supplement his earlier histories of the English civil war and was maddeningly unsuccessful.
		Hutton's marvellously wry and gentle style, with its keen eye for absurdities and inconsistencies in documents and the historical record, but always extending a delicious good grace to those whom he treats.

	Review: Ronald Hutton on Pagan Religion
		Hutton declares that the stones in Iberian megalithic graves are "bare of art." Besides the ancestor/goddess at Soto, I can think of several statue menhirs from southwestern Iberia.
		Hutton's agenda is most transparent when he "confront[s] the question of the goddess." Using the metaphor of all-out warfare, he praises scholars who "attack" the notion of a widespread neolithic goddess veneration, "blew [it] to pieces," and "brought it all down forever," with "no answer possible." Really?
		Hutton does a reverse on these writers' demotion of deities to historical mortals, suggesting instead that they elevated actual personages to deities (most notably in the case of Cerridwen, whose name he incorrectly translates as "crooked woman.").

	Hutton article
		Hutton seems, overall, to be reasonably sympathetic to those with neo-pagan beliefs, but he does feel that "If the revised ideas of academe concerning the Goddess were made available to her modern worshipers, the latter would probably reject them." This could be taken as a challenge, and the subject needs to be addressed.
		Hutton's book, and it is outside the scope of an article such as this to address them all, or to do so in any great depth.
		Hutton, Graves had "built a fantasy upon a forgery." Hutton says that "His (i.e., Graves') friends have maintained that in private he himself did not believe that his vision had existed in reality: he was expressing a state of creative longing which made what he wrote poetically, not literally, true.

		Ronald Hutton modestly calls this "an exploratory and tentative" history of modern pagan witchcraft, but "The Triumph of the Moon" may well stand the test of time as the definitive work on the subject.
		Hutton claims that witchcraft is appealing because it celebrates the divinity within human beings, embraces mystery, and is ritually creative and eclectic.
		Hutton's exploration of witchcraft from the nineteenth century to the present sheds light on the historic emergence of neo-pagan spirituality, and dispels many pervasive myths about its practitioners.

	The Triumph of the Moon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ronald Hutton's history of 20th century Witchcraft and Wicca is a comprehensive and compelling examination of the subject.
		Hutton clearly has substantial sympathy for his subjects, and he is respectful to both living and dead practitioners, but he does not settle for unsubstantiated claims, and he deftly dispels a number of myths and long-standing controversies.
		Hutton calls Wicca "the only religion that England has ever given the world." I don't know that I would agree with him, since despite the prudent claims of Freemasonry to be "religious, not a religion," that other "Craft" probably qualifies as well, from certain scholarly perspectives.

	Amazon.de: The Triumph of the Moon. A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft: English Books: Ronald Hutton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Hutton presents the material is both academic and yet is readable-- he clearly states when his opinions are just that-- undocumented assumptions based on reason, versus that of proven ideas, thesis, etc. The earlier chapters are a little difficult to "wade through" at times, but the book is more reader friendly with each chapter.
		Hutton is extremely sensitive and sympathetic (even supportive) of wicca as a valid relgion - and he is respectful to all of our founding fathers and mothers.
		Hutton views them, or if the topic of modern witchcraft were simply a matter of starting with the influence of Gerald Gardner and his cohorts.

	Amazon.co.uk: Triumph of the Moon: Books: Ronald Hutton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ronald Hutton's The Triumph of he Moon is a history of modern pagan witchcraft, examining not only its origins half a century ago but the many ideas and enthusiasms of the last few centuries that paved the way for it.
		Hutton's treatment of the history of modern Paganism not only clarified the facts about paganism as a whole, it also gave me a greater understanding of what draws me to paganism.
		Ronald Huttons book is quite frankly not only fair-minded, well-rounded and academically sound, but also destroys a few of the myths which some misinformed people cling onto like a frightened child in the dark will cling onto a safety blanket.

	Galena's Journey - Reviews - Book of the Moment - Current Review
		Ronald Hutton is a British historian who has written several books on folklore and folk traditions in Britain and their modern-day applications.
		Hutton stays true throughout the book to his two major themes: that modern witchcraft is the "belated offspring" of the Romantic movement of the eighteenth century and that witchcraft is a viable, valid modern religious system.
		Hutton states that, "far from being an unusually exotic and bizarre response to specific problems of the late twentieth century, it [modern pagan witchcraft] represents a distillation of certain notions and needs which had been developing in Western Europe, and in England in particular, since the eighteenth."

		Hutton is known for having a deep and sympathetic understanding of past and present beliefs that are often dismissed, and a gift for lucidity and wit.
		This volume of Hutton's scholarship on pagan topics appears to be a collection of essays that were written over several years and have been assembled into a book format with little or no thought to common ground.
		Hutton displays his very pronounced literary centric view of history, anything that wasn't written, or the writing didn't survive, didn't happen.

		Hutton is excited about his subject and holds it in deep regard all the wile telling us the way it really is. I learned a lot from this book and I consider it essential reading for everyone (especially neo-pagans) who has an interest in this subject.
		Yes, Hutton debunks many myths surrounding these customs, but to say that he provides no information on what DID happen, or how it happened, is bunk.
		Hutton debunks everything he presents; after a while it kind of got on my nerves.
