  • Summary

  • Join Kelli as she goes over the history of the Wicker Man!

    The Wicker Man was popularized first by the Christopher Lee movie from 1973, and later with Nicholas Cage's remake. The first was folk horror, the second more action suspense. But was the Wicker Man a real thing?

    Let's go back into the primary sources to read the first ever mention of a Wicker Man in the historical record - Julius Caesar's Commentary of the Gallic Wars. Once we get all the facts, analyze the sources, and take note of the context, we'll figure out if the Wicker Man was a real, Celtic/Gallic method of human sacrifice, or if it's simply just fiction.
