In this absorbing anthology twelve Pagan writers from across the globe offer a unique perspective on Paganism today in both its theoretical and practical aspects. Each writer began with a blank canvas, other than their essay must reflect a contemporary theme. In turn the essays are philosophical, practical, personal and reflective, with issues ranging from parenting to polytheism, from being a Pagan in London to the sacred landscapes of Australia, from mysticism to the World Wide Web. In their breadth these essays reflect a concern with living in a modern world, with modern technology and with understanding oneself within a tradition that is evolving and adapting to meet the needs of its adherents whilst staying true to its fundamental principles.

Review:

Absolutely fascinating book, bringing together the personal thoughts and experiences of a hugely diverse group of people and their own thoughts and views on Contemporary Paganism, so many different ideas but all with a thread of commonality running through, an extremely interesting read.--Rachel Patterson
