In order, however, to obtain a clearer understanding of the ritual and beliefs I have had recourse to French and Flemish sources, as the cult appears to have been the same throughout Western Europe. The New England records are unfortunately not published _in extenso_; this is the more unfortunate as the extracts already given to the public occasionally throw light on some of the English practices.

    PARTICIPATION, IDENTITY, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN A SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY by LA DORNA MCGEE Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2005 Copyright © by La Dorna McGee 2005 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my mom who always supported me in my endeavors. I would also like to thank Kathy Rowe, Jane Nicol, and Suzanne Baldon for their support. Lastly, I would like to thank my committee members for their extreme patience and guidance through this process. April 22, 2005 iii ABSTRACT PARTICIPATION, IDENTITY, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN A SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY Publication No. ______ La Dorna McGee, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2005 Supervising Professor: Frank Weed Paganism is a loosely organized community whose religious ideology incorporates the immanence of Deity. As a religious association with an ideology different from traditional Judeo-Christian faiths, members are often labeled as deviant and subjected to various negative sanctions. By relying on survey data collected on April 9-12, 1996 and in depth personal interviews collected on October 10-13, 1996, this study presents a model that best describes and explains acceptance and participation in Pagan spiritualism. This study identifies three characteristics associated with positive ratings of childhood religious affiliation (church disaffection, family closeness, and iv membership role), three characteristics associated with feelings of belonging to the Pagan community (church disaffection, social support, and participation), and finally examines a member’s disclosure of their Pagan identity as being a function of occupational prestige, weighing the costs of negative sanctions versus the Pagan value of openly expressing a Pagan identity, and self-efficacy.

First publication October 1921, London, UK i Skogen! is an electronic publication because we do not want to consume paper and want to preserve trees. If we decide for a printed version it will definitely be on recycled paper and environmentally friendly sources. i Skogen! is a homemade publication without advertising for choice. The companies and people mentioned have paid nothing to authors/publisher and are quoted only for their amazing work in Italy in the wild food field. i Skogen! is a non-party, non-political publication; a publication also for children to which illustrate botany and the secrets of Nature under the supervision of an adult . i Skogen! declines any responsibility for improper use of information provided, both for food and herbal remedies and for all botanical and illustrative information on wild herbs collection. Its texts are a research work and those in the health field do not replace the opinion of a professional herbalist and physician. i Skogen! wishes to spread a full-spectrum knowledge about plants and the balance of the human being in the world around us, even through a greater awareness of the living beings that are part of the flora of our planet. Eventually, i Skogen! wants to propagate a culture that is lost, at least in Italy, and to retrieve the agricultural traditions of our European ancestors, and not only this: for this reasons, sections dedicated to folklore embrace traditions that do not cover the dogma of monotheistic religions, and excavate backwards for a healthy philological and historical recovery.
