Practical Paganism - Hardcover
Synopsis
Pagan ideas took root in Britain in the 1960s with the reinvention of witchcraft, and rapidly spread to the United States and Australia. Initially secretive, Wicca became more open with the publication of a number of important books in the early 1980s. Since then, there has been a massive change of emphasis which has largely gone unnoticed in publications on the subject. Today, there is a far more eclectic approach to what has become the fastest-growing spiritual movement or religion in Britain. The essential aim of this book is to provide readers with a practical, step-by-step introduction to Pagan ideas and practices, which they can try for themselves without having to 'join' anyone else's coven or organization. The authors do not seek to convert, but merely to present some novel ideas for readers to consider. "Practical Paganism" finds a common ground upon which all Pagans can happily stand together in a unified tradition, and encourages them to accept each other and their own weaknesses.

About the Author
Anthony Kemp is an established author who has also worked as a television researcher and director. Almost twenty years ago while preparing a documentary about white witchcraft he became personally interested in Paganism, and in the course of research he met a wide cross-section of the Pagan community. Anthony Kemp is an initiate of the broad Wiccan tradition, an ordained priest and the founder of the Order of Brighid. He lives in France as a full-time writer, is active in Pagan circles and teaches a small number of students by correspondence. J. M. Sertori is a writer and translator with a particular interest in the religious experience, and the author of The Little Book of Feng Shui.
