I've read Margot Adler's Drawing Down the Moon and Ronald Hutton's Triumph of the Moon. I would recommend all three, since they all have different strengths. Adler's is a better survey of the current varieties of neopaganism, Ronald Hutton has a better history of magic as a form of Neo-paganism. Drury brings to his book an interest in the Western esoteric and mystical traditions as sources of modern magic, rather than revivals of ancient paganism; he discusses in some detail the Kabbalah, The Golden Dawn, The Rosicrucians, etc. He is more interested in magic as a form of self-transformation, rather than as submission and pleas for help to various deities. His coverage of neopaganism is not very broad, focussing mainly on Wicca. He also discusses at length the Church of Satan and its successor the Temple of Set. He is also interested in the non-religious, but related issues of role-playing games, and the use of cyberspace as an opportunity to recreate oneself. This would not be my first choice as a history of neo-paganism, but it adds a lot of related material. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
