Mystical 1920 Woodcrafters - A Talk with Annebella Pollen

The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift, founded 1920,  were utopian outdoor enthusiasts,  nature worshippers grounded in English pagan lore.  Outdoor rites, esoteric symbols and mystical practices were features of its pagan 'Inner Aspect'. Annebella Pollen reveals all in a lively conversation with Christina Oakley Harrington. Wicca was brewing in the same period (1920s-1930s) in the same locale, and our own Christina Oakley Harrington chimes in to compare with the New Forest Coven. 

 Dr Annebella Pollen is Reader in History of Art and Design at the University of Brighton. She is the author of the award-winning book,  Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians (Donlon, 2015, recently reissued).
