4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, but Very Light..., July 2, 2001

This review is from: Pagan God for Todays Man (Headway Guides for Beginners) (Paperback)

I was quite happy to come across a book that was devoted specifically to Pagan Gods, on both the front of a book taking a Pagan angle, and one focusing on Gods instead of Goddesses (a book subject in somewhat short supply).

That said, the book is exactly what it claims to be: a begginners guide. THere is good information in here about Thoth, the Oak and Holly Kings, the Green Man, the Horned God, and so forth, but given the books size, it was all very quickly imparted, and as such left me with the feeling that I'd delved only a little, not reaching any real depth.

Still, that said, there is a great beginning in this book. Were the Mooreys to put out another, in depth title with a similar topic, I would not hesitate to go buy it. If you are just beginning in Paganism or Wicca, and want to get yourself a firmer grasp on the basics of the Gods, grab this book and settle down for a great introductory read.

This review is from: Pagan God for Today's Man (Beginners Guides) (Paperback)

This book gives the reader a lot to think about be they male or female. There are a lot of interesting stories which are designed to make one think about various issues that they may not have addressed before. It prompts the reader to think about various issues such as the male "warrior" type picture. A very interesting read.
