Of Pumpkins and Plagiarism

Between the important matters of Stephen Fry's Twittering and the ancient commemoration of All Souls' it would seem foolish to share anything else.  But then you find this.   http://r-liggins0811-dc.blogspot.com/2009/10/rituals-involving-pumpkins.html  Someone has summarised the Beaker Folk Pumpkin Ritual.  In years to come new neo-pagan groups will no doubt claim it's a 2000 year old ritual.  They will of course be right....  As long as they leave it 2000 years.  And they've done it without crediting the site.  Young Keith's uncle the Police Constable is looking under "P" for "Plagiarism" even as we speak.  I tell you, it's enough to get someone drummed out of the Angular Rusting University Druidic Studies course.
