FREE: Witches, pagans & magic in the new age by Kevin Marron

The listing, Witches, pagans & magic in the new age by Kevin Marron has ended.

Witches, Pagans and Magic in the New Age documents the revival of the ancient practices of pagan religions in contemporary society. The author visited witches, druids, magicians and other occult practitioners from coast to coast and found that they included teachers, civil servants and police officers, as well as radical environmentalists, feminist academics and a wide range of extraordinary ordinary people from almost every walk of life. The book gives readers a unique view of a world in which magic is commonplace. It presents an outsiders' view of a wide range of beliefs and rituals that are often exotic, mostly benign and occasionally creepy. It attempts to explain why and how people are drawn to old religions, while exploring some of the challenges that present-day pagans face, focusing particularly on their struggle to distinguish themselves from public images of Satanism and Black Magic.
