Here is what I know about Robin Goodfellow, the Puck, the mythic figure that influenced Shakespeare’s work. He’s old – old enough that records in the 1500s talk about working with him as a practice that was already fading, only remembered by grandmothers. He’s famous – famous enough that, in one old text, some of the good folk in England are referred to as plural, “robingoodfellowes.” He’s complicated. He’s a household name. All of this is true – and yet I have only found a handful of Pagans practicing today who work with him.
