Thanks! I was aware of that backstory and considered discussing it, but as mentioning the movie was mainly a segue into my interviewees' points, I didn't manage to make it fit.
I interviewed Ronald Hutton this year about his research into paganism! It was a delightful chat: he was eloquent, insightful, and talked about how he wanted "paganism to claim more top-rank, A-List members".

How well do grave goods and funeral customs fulfil that brief? I'd like to think they reflect a thought process of "I won't be here after I die, and I'd like to be remembered/feared/bring my favourite comb with me..."
