Oh my...have you informed all the historians that they simply must lop the UK off the historic 16th century maps of Europe? A name for reference to the land mass that, btw, was changed from Christendom to the name of a female character in a Greek myth.

If there were no pagans in 16th century Europe, there would have been no need for the Witchcraft Acts of 1542 and 1563.

I realize that does not fit in with your paradigm of spiritual traditions. But it's documented in history, whether you care to acknowledge it or not.
