      Okay so in an effort to try and pivot to talking about my research on here I am going to start using my full name.

      And since it’s been awhile: I am a PhD student focussing on sacral kingship in early medieval Ireland and Britain. I examine the ways that people perceive kingship as an ideology.

          My work is interdisciplinary, as I use history, archaeology, and anthropology. This presents several problems.

          The ways that different disciplines view the past can be hard to reconcile. For example: understanding medieval mentalities. I’ve received pushback on this from some archaeologists and historians (despite the impact of Marc Bloch and the annalistes).

          Conversely, the reflex to assign sacral attributes to everything can take away from understanding sacrality. Sometimes a horse is just a horse. What’s important is trying to find out when it’s more than that.

          On the OTHER hand, ritual isn’t only grand, not just inherently related to religion in a direct sense.

          Superstitious actions can be described as a ritual in a way, even if the religious/sacral aspect of them has been forgotten or lessened.

          Like avoiding fairy trees, or tying ribbons on their branches as an offering.

          It’s complicated as is, and it is made even more complicated by 19thc and early 20thc discussions of “pre-Christian” religions. Lots of nonsense there in the old historiography.

          Anyway, this has been a bit of a ramble but these are some of the problems I have to deal with in my research.
