Paradise on Earth: Feraferia and the Landscapes of the Mind
Feraferia, ‘a love culture for wilderness’, is a contemporary Pagan religion that celebrates humans’ erotic union with Nature. It was the brainchild of artist, Frederick Adams (1928–2008), who in 1956 had a vision of a universal goddess and subsequently devoted himself to the divine feminine as a ‘Maiden Goddess of the Wilderness’ called Korê. Formally incorporated in 1967, Feraferia became the second Pagan church in US history, and it is still a…

Cockles, Mussels, Fishing Nets, and Finery: The Relationship between Cult, Textiles, and the Sea Depicted on a Minoan-Style Gold Ring from Pylos
The Griffin Warrior Ring No. 2 is a gold Minoan-style engraved signet ring from Pylos dating to the Late Helladic IIA (1580–1490 BCE). The ring's bezel depicts a seascape with a columnar tree shrine flanked by palm trees situated on a rocky outcrop. Five elaborately dressed female figures stand on either side of the shrine. The tree shrine features a net pattern in the space between its stone or brick piers. I argue that this represents a fishing…

Power Ranges: Identity and Terrain in Minoan Crete
During the Aegean Bronze Age, the island of Crete was home to Minoan civilisation (3100–1300 BCE). The Cretan landscape is characterised by prominent mountain ranges. During the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000 BCE) cult sites began to proliferate on mountain peaks in response to climatic changes. Peak sanctuaries were locations of popular religious expression focussed on human, animal, and environmental health and fertility. In the Neopalatial period …

Dropping Ecstasy? Minoan Cult and the Tropes of Shamanism
Cult scenes illustrated in miniature on administrative stone seals and metal signet rings from Late Bronze Age Minoan Crete are commonly interpreted as “Epiphany Scenes” and have been called “shamanic”. “Universal shamanism” is a catch-all anthropological term coined to describe certain inferred ritual behaviors across widely dispersed cultures and through time. This study re-examines evidence for Minoan cultic practices in light of key tropes of…

Travel writing and Wales
In 1766, Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau was strongly advised by his circle of correspondents against his yearning to undertake a journey to Wales. Rousseau believed that Wales “entirely re
Out of Europe: Travel and exile in mid-twentieth-century Wales
Wales was the destination for a number of exiles from various parts of Europe during the mid-twentieth century. Children from the Basque country fleeing Franco, Polish exiles escaping Nazi invasion and Jews from all over Eastern Europe all made their way to the UK and many then specifically to Wales. Whereas much has been made in scholarship thus far of the reactions of the Welsh themselves to this influx of displaced foreign visitors, often with…

Walk Like an Egyptian: Egypt as Authority in Aleister Crowley’s Reception of The Book of the Law
This article investigates the story of Aleister Crowley’s reception of The Book of the Law in Cairo, Egypt, in 1904, focusing on the question of why it occurred in Egypt. The article contends that Crowley created this foundation narrative, which involved specifically incorporating an Egyptian antiquity from a museum, the “Stèle of Revealing,’” in Egypt because he was working within a conceptual structure that privileged Egypt as a source of Herme…

Placing Droste’s Ledwina: ‘Jugendwerk’ or ‘Gescheiterte Frauenliteratur’
This article is a reassessment of Annette von Droste‐Hülshoff’s novel fragment Ledwina. The text is approached from a feminist perspective in an attempt to place it within the context of early feminist social criticism. Droste’s text is identified as an example of specifically feminine autobiography, or autogynography. The discussion begins with a brief examination of the narrative strategies employed by women writers in the drive for acceptance …
A Study of Lesbian Lifestyles in the Homosexual Micro-Culture and the Heterosexual Macro-Culture
Ninety-one lesbians were surveyed in an effort to determine how homosexual women function within the heterosexual macro-culture and the homosexual micro-culture. Those sampled tended to be young, white, urban, and well-educated professionals. By exploring four major categories (demographics, lesbian lifestyles/homosexual culture, social relationships, and participation in the heterosexual culture) it was found that respondents felt isolated from …
In Sickness and in Health
Research about lesbians and lesbianism hasonly been conducted in a systematic fashion since the 1950s. This article identifies the five major phases of lesbian research: (1) etiology, (2) psychological functioning, (3) social functioning, (4) life span development, and (5) clinical intervention. In addition, the author traces the historical development of the literature for the past four decades
Research in Lesbian Communities
In this paper the authors address the three major areas in which ehtical dilemmas may be experienced by those who do research in lesbian communities: (1) confidentiality, (2) anonymity, and (3) professional boundaries. Lesbian researchers who use the most common method of gathering data on lesbians- the snowball sampling technique- may encounter ehtical dilemmas when conducting research in lesbian communities. In addition, the authors identify re…

Homosexuality: A Social Worker's Imbroglio
Few members of our society take time to put into historical context their prejudices about homosexuality. This article examines the historical context of these prejudices as well as how social workers may become co-opted by society into overlooking the social service needs of homosexual clients. How to combat institutional homophobia is also discussed
