Publisher Description
The essential text and classic study of Neo-Paganism
Since its original publication, Drawing Down the Moon continues to be the only detailed history of the burgeoning but still widely misunderstood Neo- Pagan subculture. Margot Adler attended ritual gatherings and interviewed a diverse, colorful gallery of people across the United States, people who find inspiration in ancient deities, nature, myth, even science fiction.
In this edition, featuring an updated resource guide of newsletters, journals, books, groups, and festivals, Margot Adler takes a fascinating and honest look at the religious experiences, beliefs, and lifestyles of modern America's Pagan groups.

Excellent
Adler's book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand neopaganism, Wicca, and modern earth-based religions. Various subgroups such as feminist witches and high magicians are examined from an objective point of view. Adler also sprinkles plenty of humor throughout these pages, all while dispelling misinformation about the pagan community. I can't praise this book enough! Highly recommended.
