if they’d used the old railway for a nice road connecting Latchmore to West Moors & beyond, Burley wouldn’t be dominated by traffic . A small diversion near the ponds on the Thorney Hill road could’ve connected the tourists via carts . They’d dig that olde stuff . 🐢🍒👽😁👍we appreciate your work
Maybe be a bit more polite, try advising rather than ordering, a bit of respect goes a long way (here in the UK we take it as a given) I wish you all the best from sunny Troon Scotland 😊
Thank you for everyone's comments, and watching my video. You are right, it does repeat some parts, I didn't realise until afterwards, sorry about that. My editing isn't the best, I'm teaching myself and hopefully videos will improve as we move forward. Please subscribe, and if there's anything you would like me to cover, or would like more of the local 'New Forest' witchcraft, let me know in the comments. Thank you 🙏
@@gorbalsboy hi, thank you for your comment, appreciate it!. I do need to clean up my editing though, it is a bit rough ! 😅 I hope it's not too cold up in Scotland! Cheers
I believe Sybil Leek was a special person. However, much of what she wrote about herself in "Diary of a Witch" has no basis in history. Read "Triumph of the Moon" if you want the facts. When Doreen Valiente visited her, she discovered that her so-called unique tradition was Gardnerian. So take what she writes with grain of salt.
@@TaranArcher Gladly, "pray tell." Ronald Hutton's exhaustive study of modern Witchcraft "Triumph of the Moon" pg, 300-1 lists the following: "Doreen Valiente who was well disposed towards her, noted that her 'hereditary' ritual practices seemed Gardnerian, and indeed her use of an athame would bear this out." He quotes Valiente's "Rebirth of Witchcraft, pg. 145-46. When I suggest the reader take what Leek wrote with a grain of salt, I mean one should be wary of any embellishments she wrote to make the revival of Witchcraft older than it actually is. Ever since Gerald Gardner started the Witchcraft religion others have come forward claiming to be "Traditionals" or that they came from "Witchcraft families" or that they "learned the Craft from their grandmother." I have no patience with false pedigrees--scratch it and you'll find publicity-hungry people who feel only they should be in the limelight. There is absolutely no evidence that Leek knew Aleister Crowley or that he was a friend of the family or that he intended she was going to "replace" him. It is doubtful H. G. Wells or Lawrence of Arabia visited as well. That said, Sybil Leek had a dislike of academics, one of which stated Margaret Murray didn't know what she was talking about by trying to push through a pseudo-history of Witchcraft as an ancient Pagan religion. Her views have long been discredited and in time, so will Sybil Leek's.

Very interesting. I may drive by her old home in Florida just for fun.
I always loved Sybil...what a treasure she was!
Interesting stuff x
What an interesting woman!!

And there's me thinking the Burley witch's name was Kay!
3 mins 40 secs in and Alistair Crowley is the babysitter. I did not predict that one.
Interesting to learn more of someone my mother read...but you need to clean up your editing--there are repeated chunks, back-to-back.
I’m glad you noticed this. i put it down to my decrepit state of mind or some kind of futuresight 😆

Did she meet 2 different conductors 24 years older than her? What an amazing coincidence. Or did you repeat yourself
Yeah, sorry about that, sloppy editing. It'll improve, thanks for watching! 🙏
@@Beetroot-1 no worries. I didn't mean anything bad. Great video by the way. 👍🏼💯
Who edited this? Terrible. Several times I thought it had skipped back because it just repeats itself.
Wonder if it is an Ai creation
My fault, editing skills have improved and will double check future videos. Cheers

Pray tell, can you provide the title of the book where Valiente allegedly said this, and the page #?
Interesting!
