Smokey and the Sacred
The publishing agreement, however, forbids me from publishing more than the abstract online. (But maybe if you ask nicely.) I will supply a complete bibliographic citation to the printed copy as soon as it is available.
Maybe it's the first Pagan Studies paper to invoke Smokey Bear as a godform, following the footsteps of Gary Snyder's "Smokey the Bear Sutra."
OK, so he is somewhat discredited as a forester in these "prescribed burn" days. Sometimes demigods have a come-down.
