Consider also:
- “The Wican Rede has many ancestors: The earliest progenitors are probably Hippocrates, St. Augustine and the utterance of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer.”
- “King Pausol is not, in fact, legendary per se but the literary creation of the French novelist by Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925).”
- “The only remaining question is who converted the code of Tryphême into the rhymed version that is so familiar to pagans worldwide.”
- “As influential as all these sources may be, Gerald Gardner tells us quite clearly what the direct predecessor actually is”
- “John J. Coughlin in his excellent study of the genesis of the Wican rede shows fairly convincingly that Doreen Valiente, with her talent for poetic composition, is the probable author.”
