Episode: GBD12: Living the Lore (with Ronald Hutton)
Description: In this episode I speak with Professor Ronald Hutton in his office at the University of Bristol, discussing the value of participatory, experiential folklore scholarship: living the lore rather than studying it aloofly. Afterward, by way of example, I tell how my own direct experience of the May this year has deepened my understanding of the holiday and my sense of its enchantment. I also answer questions from "the mailbag"—that is, from my listeners and viewers.Irish American Heritage Museum's discussion of May Eve traditions and beliefs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaNlXSSGm3Q
