Editorial Review: Product Description: The history and development of Paganism-all in one volume! Although Pagans have endured centuries of persecution and condemnation, Paganism has risen to become the seventh-largest organized religion in the world-and is still growing. The Everything( Paganism Book, written by Selene Silverwind-a practicing Pagan for more than ten years-uncovers the history and beliefs of this ancient faith. The author guides you through the ideology, tenets, and practices that make up Paganism, exploring its Celtic origins and showing how some Pagan rites and rituals have become mainstream today. Learn all about: Supplemented with a glossary of Pagan terms, The Everything(r) Paganism Book is the ideal introduction for anyone with an interest in the ideals and traditions of this ancient religion.

 Rating:  - What a difference a year makes.A year ago, I would have described this book as a valuable resource for a person new to Paganism and trying to find a path. Over the last year I have made more of an effort to learn about the differences between the various Neopagan religions and now find this book does not do justice to the real diversity of thought and practice that exists. In fact, this book does what many Neopagans do, which is attempt to homogenize Paganism into some universal religion with different flavored sects. The book ... Read More Rating: - Definitely not Everything PaganismThe book is a very light overview of Pagan religions. As a book targeted to the newbie attempting to discover information on the different Pagan religions and/or is seeking a path, this book is generally not useful. The information that is included is very weak and watered down. Information of the Reconstructionist religions such as Hellenismos, Religio Romana, CR, and Kemeticism is so generalized as to not have any value, and is nothing that a person could not imply from their names.

It's not a how to book, and it doesn't try to sneak spells and other things that wouldn't fit into it. It doesn't cover every little thing, but that's not possible. I really enjoyed her tone, and I gave this to my mom to read, so she could understand my religion a little better. I feel that it really helped! Rating: - very helpful bookAs an ecletic Wiccan coming from a Christian family, this book helped immensely when trying to explain to my parents, especially my mother, what I believe and how I practice my faith. It also helped me to understand more about other faiths I wasn't as familiar with. Well written in layman's terms, this book paints a general picture of how the faiths described tend to work. Well laid out, easy to read, and good information. Rating:  - Good overviewThere are lots of introductory Pagan books available and this one takes a good overview of it rather than get into the "nuts and bolts" of what Pagans "do." The author begins with a brief history of Paganism before going to discuss their belief system, various "Pagan holidays," and the tools used in celebrations. What sets this book apart from other "beginners' books" is the author's devoting chapters to specific Pagan religions, like Asatru, Druidry, Santeria, and Shamanism (although ... Read More
