Neo-paganism is a religion which connects the worlds of myth and reality, persona and planet. But what is this movement, what is it based upon, and what effect might it have on the cultural and spiritual framework of the Western world? This book attempts to answer such questions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just the basics, July 25, 2003

By	Amy Law "amydoll1477" (Owensboro Ky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good guide for those family & friends that have no idea, what your beliefs are or about. I let my mother read this and it helped clear up alot of misunderstandings for her. I had thought about Letting her read the book by Scott Cunningham. But the chapters on skyclad & sexuality would be to much for her, and this one left those subjects out.

1.0 out of 5 stars More enthusiasm than scholarship, February 1, 2002

By	Katherine Blackthorne "Katherine Blackthorne" (Chico, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The author lumps several un-related spiritual paths incorrectly under the "Neo-Pagan" umbrella.

"Neo-Pagan" refers to a group of revival-religions, and specifically does NOT include such religions as Hinduism & Budhism, which far pre-date Christianity. (These religions might legitimately be called Pagan. They cannot be called Neo-Pagan.)

One seeking information on this subject would be far better to read Margot Adler's work (which the author references on page 2).
