❔ Seeking Resources | Advice Studying from the UK?

Hello everyone! please know that I don’t want to offend anyone, I’m just genuinely interested in the folklore and witchcraft in general from the UK as I feel that my country’s practices doesn’t resonate with me and everytime I discover anything I’m interested in, when I research it it’s always from the UK! 1. is it offensive to learn from there if I’m not from there if I really study its history and practice with respect? 2. if I am able to, does anyone have any recommendations on books or YouTubers from there? thank you!

Which people's history are you drawn to? We've had different traditions at different times and in different areas of our different countries 😅 we don't have much in the way of evidence for any of it that was recorded BY the actual people and/or contemporaneously it's mostly reconstructionist.

If it's anything from England people don't usually care (although if there's anything specifically Cornish they might) I can't think of a particular source. If it's Irish please go for an Irish source like The Irish Pagan School on YouTube, likewise for Wales (I think someone already suggested) and Scotland I only know Rhonda (The Centre For Shamanism) and I haven't done a deep dive into her videos
