Its strength is a practitioner's own account of the film's effect on her as a young seeker and her view, twenty seven years later, of what it got right. Its limit is that it is one writer's personal reflection rather than a survey of Pagan opinion or peer reviewed research, and is cited here as exactly that, one documented voice within the community rather than the community's single verdict.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (12 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested2Reliability tier 2: a named culture writer publishing a signed film retrospective on a dedicated Pagan news and culture outlet, The Wild Hunt, with an identifiable byline but no wider newsroom editorial layer behind it.NotesWell-attestedPublished October 22, 2023, read directly. Cited for its assessment that consultant Pat Devin succeeded in presenting ritual elements that were authentic without disclosing anything oath bound, and for its framing of the film as valuable to young seekers for what it inspires rather than for complete instruction.CitationAuthorWell-attestedMeg ElisonPublisherWell-attestedThe Wild HuntPublication YearWell-attested2023URLWell-attestedhttps://wildhunt.org/2023/10/classics-of-pagan-cinema-the-craft.htmlSource TypeWell-attestednewsClaims Backed By This Source (12 claims)This source backs 12 claims across the atlas.
