An introduction to modern Paganism and its roots and history The
Pagan tradition celebrates the physical nature of life on earth,
blending science with spiritual folklore. Considering the everyday
world of food, health, sex, work, and leisure to be sacred, Pagans
oppose that which threatens life such as deforestation,
overdevelopment, and nuclear power and invoke ancient deities in
this struggle for the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants.
Contemporary Paganism presents a broad-based introduction to the
main trends of contemporary Paganism, revealing the origins and
practical aspects of Druidry, Witchcraft, Goddess Spirituality and
Magic, Shamanism, and Geomancy, among others. Making use of both
traditional history and the movement's more imaginative sources,
Harvey reveals how Paganism and its central focus on individual and
social lives is evolving and how this "new religion" perceives and
relates to more traditional ones. This updated and expanded new
edition addresses recent developments among Pagans and includes a
new chapter assessing continuing scholarly research about the
religion.
