Hello--this may be more appropriate for some "old timers" like myself, but for a book I am writing I'd like to hear any anecdotes about the impact or influence the film EXCALIBUR (1981) or the novel (or mini-series) THE MISTS OF AVALON had on your life as a neo-pagan, witch, Celtic pagan, druid, etc.
Do you remember any rituals that used material from them? People dressing like characters? Any other activities that were obviously influenced by them? Did either of them make you curious about traditions or folklore to an extent you hadn't been before being exposed to them, such as druidism, the Arthurian saga, Glastonbury, British folklore or history, etc.?
Thanks in advance for your answers! You can also email me at amberapple at gmail dot com.
