Susan Greenwood has clearly made excellent work of her PhD research in writing this book. But more than that her research is insightfully accurate in its reflection of the Pagan community, and the central concerns of Paganism. This is an academic book that certainly does add something to the Pagan community, and is well worth reading., 'Susan Greenwood has clearly made excellent work of her PhD research in writing this book.

The Cauldron 'Greenwood weaves her own fascination and involvement with magic, to communicate the essence of magic, as she experienced it herself, with the rigours of scientific enquiry.

Synopsis
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., Anthropology's long and complex relationship to magic has been strongly influenced by western science and notions of rationality.
