"Paganism" and the Invention of Tradition

from the research of people in Glastonbury, England

Abstract

I would consider the invention of tradition through neopaganism. This movement is often thought as an invention of tradition, but neopagans themselves insist the continuity from the past and try to revive the genuine belief. However, neopagans are also interested in taking the indigenous cultures. I am going to focus on Druids and consider why they want to revive their "tradition."
