Pagan Religions: A Handbook for Diversity Training (Shamanism Paganism Druidry) [Paperback]

Kerr Cuhulain (Author)

Book Description

Series: Shamanism Paganism Druidry | Publication Date: August 23, 2011

Revised and expanded, this comprehensive manual clearly interprets neo-Pagan religious beliefs and practices for non-Pagans, such as professionals in law enforcement, education, social services, and the media. Educating the general public by providing a strong introduction to these alternative spiritual traditions, this updated reference explains the festivals, symbols, tools, and history of Wicca, presents new chapters on the practices of Druidism and Ásatrú, and demonstrates how oppressive religious doctrine has maligned modern Pagans. Written in an accessible style, this overview is tailored for believers as well as skeptics, scholars, and the idly curious. A glossary of neo-Pagan terms and an extensive bibliography are also included.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This new handbook can serve as a solid intellectual vaccination against misinformation about Pagans. . . . An instant classic and should be required reading for anyone training to work in the police and emergency services." —Online Pagans Magazine
