A Letter to Joe Wilson and the Pagan Movement

During a recent stay in Cornwall I was able to visit the Museum of Witchcraft at Boscastle. I am very grateful to the Museum for allowing me to use their fine library and for help in tracking down material relating to Ronald White and the Regency.

In 1970 it seems that overtures were made to Ron and the Regency to join the newly formed Pagan Movement. A letter from Ron in response was published in the magazine The Waxing Moon, which was relaunched at that time as the movement’s house publication. The letter, which is quite long, gives an insight into how the Regency had developed over the four years since it was founded:

Dear Friends,

Thank you very much for keeping me so well informed as to the doings of the Pagan Movement.

Rather than taking up any of the interesting points of your correspondents, I would prefer to outline one or two things about The Regency, so that all will know what we are up to. But first, may I re-emphasise my attitude to The Pagan Movement. Love the Goddess, Revere the Gods, and in that reverence and love Build something. As you are doing this you command the help and respect of all fellow pagans.
