Drawing Down the Moon

Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America

De: Margot Adler

Narrado por: Pam Ward

Almost 40 years 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 revised edition, Adler takes a fascinating and honest look at the religious experiences, beliefs, and lifestyles of modern America's Pagan groups.

Excellent and informative

Very much enjoyed. Great overview, learned much about a wide variety of different Pagan perspectives which was extremely helpful as a fairly new Pagan myself. Loved the narrator, she just made everything sound even more intelligent but engaging. Interesting to see the twists and turns in the recent history of Paganism.

Lots of info

I loved this book and I will probably listen more than one. There is a LOT of info here.

absolutely wonderful

I cannot impress upon you how wonderful this book is. I'm so thankful to have listened to it. Do yourself a favor and take a listen

Not my cup of tea, but....

It was really feminist heavy. I have no problem with feminists, they are making great strides, but I've never been a strong feminist myself. It also goes pretty deep into Neo-Pagan history and different covens and groves, and groups, etc... that part was interesting.

Great next level read!

If you want to know more about backgrounds of many of the traditions and thoughts of “nature religions” and or witchcraft this is your next step. Very well researched and this was well read in a non annoying voice.
