Anthropology's long and complex relationship to magic has been
strongly influenced by western science and notions of rationality.
This book takes a refreshing new look at modern magic as practised
by contemporary Pagans in Britain. It focuses on what Pagans see as
the essence of magic - a communication with an otherworldly
reality. Examining issues of identity, gender and morality, the
author argues that the otherworld forms a central defining
characteristic of magical practice.
Integrating an experiential ethnographic approach with an analysis
of magic, this book asks penetrating questions about the nature of
otherworldly knowledge and argues that our scientific frameworks
need re-envisioning. It is unique in providing an insider's view of
how magic is practised in contemporary western culture.
