Finally, a beginners guide specifically for Pagans!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The sight of this book had me grinning. I'm a self-admitted "Pagan," and find that books on Wicca are aplenty, but books on a more eclectic pagan approach are rare books indeed. Moorey has put together a fantastic little book that is exactly what it claims to be: a beginners guide for those interested in Paganism.It covers a wide variety of faiths, and does them all justice even though it is quite a small volume. Touching upon Wicca, Witchcraft, Shamanism, the Four Elements, Druidry, Celtic Paganism, Northern Traditions, and even a bit on Feminism and the newer Men's movements, the book is then rounded out with a small section on Cyber-Pagans, to boot (no pun intended)! This is a very rewarding, quick and light read that will supply a small taste of many traditions, encapsulated in a wonderful theme of Paganism.Earth Religions have rarely been treated this well in reference literature.
Excellent Book for Beginners

The tone of the book was friendly and open. All of the information was accurate and put in a format which read easily and well. The only exception (extremely minor) - in the States a "Hedge Witch" is generally referred to as a "Kitchen Witch". Excellent material - a MUST read for all.
An excellent overview of modern paganism.

This thin volume gives an excellent overview of modern paganism. Ms Moorey covers a great deal of information in a personal manner which will be easily understood both by practicing pagans and by those who simply wish to learn more about this growing, but often misunderstood segment of society. Ms Moorey touches on witchcraft, wicca, druidism, shamanism, and Celtic paganism. She identifies the basic beliefs of each traditon, comparing and contrasting the nuances of each without going into unnecessary detail. Each chapter includes bibliographical references for those who wish to pursue their studies
