Re: The New Romantics
I've recently had an Irish-American talking about "Irish Warriors" in Vallhalla and telling me that Odinism was the faith of the Irish until St Patrick brought Christianity to our shores.
I don't even know where to begin correcting that

For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
