I've just remembered something else worth checking out, the old Robin of Sherwood ITV series (UK). I believe this was fairly popular in the US too, and they are all available on VHS/DVD - the early episodes are the best. Though it's based on English legend and has a medieval setting (inlcuding actual historical characters) it's very much a fantasy drama with strong pagan themes, e.g. Robin commuicates with Herne the Hunter. The storylines were always exciting and the cast was usually good - including a much younger Ray Winstone as Will Scarlett, and the music was stunning.
