Currently still working on writing the very first part of the history section. This will focus on Rhennes and their Book of Rhiannë, an Aristasian precursor group active mostly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in Burtonport, County Donegal, Ireland. I'll be discussing their beliefs, lifestyle, and how that relates to Aristasia. I'll also discuss them in context of the wider pagan milieu of the time.
You can watch a short 1982 news clip about the Rhennes here. The newscasters are awfully credulous, but that wasn't uncommon in interviews with pagans at the time: https://youtu.be/PUKigKY0grs?si=X-sFPxkHdsqRBhop
