My thanks to these, for I am indebted to such people as:-
*Jane Brideson for our early morning conversations, her enthusiasm, loyalty and her wonderful graphics. She without whom I would be a lesser Druid.

*Rosie Moore late of Carrickfergus for her families Hereditary Druid Traditions.
*Jenny Butler of the Folklore Dept UCC
