{from Anahita-gula in Ottawa}

I'd like to pass on some information on original graduate-level works done recently on
Neo-Paganism and Wicca which are available through most Inter Library Loan systems at college
and university libraries.  IF they are not yet listed, they should be available for borrowing and/or
photocopy within the next 3 months or so. 
  
1) Sandilands, Catriona Alison Hayward.  "Spirituality and Praxis: Witchcraft and Neo-Paganism
in Canada".  M.A. Thesis, York University, 1988. 
  
2) Tyrrell, Marc Wyly Douglas.  "Strands of Moonlight: An Examination of the
Institutionalization Process Amongst Neo-Pagan Witches in Ottawa".  M.A. Thesis, Carleton
University, 1992. 
  
3) Johnson, Lynn.  "Contemporary Witchcraft: Aspects of History, Structure and  Cosmology". 
M.A. Thesis, University of Calgary, 1991. 
  
4)  Reid, Sian Lee.  "Portrait of Janus: A Social Constructionist Analysis of Witchcraft in the
Ottawa CITIZEN, 1980 - 1989".  M.A. Thesis, Carleton University, 1992. 
  
5)  Rabinovitch, Shelley TSivia.  "An' Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will": Neo-Pagans and
Witches in Canada".  M.A. Thesis, Carleton University, 1992. 
  
Yes, these are ALL Canadian pieces of research: my scanning through the Ph.D and M.A.
catalogues available didn't show much grad level work on Neo-Paganism coming out of the
U.S.??  Hmmmmmm.... 
  
Also: The Anthropology Dept. at Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario) also has an Honours
B.A. paper by Mary Slade which MAY be available for copy:  "The Fire Within: An
Introduction to Witchcraft in Canada". (1989)...at the University of Ottawa there WAS an M.A.
paper (degree WITHOUT thesis entails a major research paper instead) done by Eve Gaboury
on sorceresses in Quebec (done entirely in French, this apparently looks at Neo-Pagan Feminist
groups in Quebec).  However, when I tried to get it to read for my thesis......the departmental
copy had GONE MISSING.  Efforts so far to find it have been fruitless.  (I am currently trying
to find a copy through the author or her committee..) 
  
I would be EXTREMELY interested in hearing about other major academic works on
Neo-Pagans and Wiccans which might be floating out there.  RUmour has one M.A. out of the
University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon...but I've had no luck locating such a thing. 
  
Feedback? Is any of this information of use?  My full annotated bibliography on Neo-Paganism
and Wicca will be available through bitnet access within one year via the University of Ottawa's
religious studies department.  We apparently have quite a few good bibliographies online thru
the university which can be accessed FREE by academics.  I will post more information as I get
it.
