Abstract


This essay offers some perspectives on fieldwork not from the usual perspective of the fieldworker, but rather from the perspective of the person being researched, and the author speaks from their experience as someone who is an active Pagan and who has held offices in Pagan groups in the UK and as such has been on the receiving end of field research and of the misconceptions that often bedevil the way that research is directed.
