Earthly Bodies, Magical Selves: Contemporary Pagans and the Search for Community
"Earthly Bodiesis a thoroughly and ceaselessly informative exposé. This is an original, important, no-punches-held, illucidating, approachable and entertaining work for both the specialist and general public alike. The venue of summer camp gatherings has become an important expression of contemporary western paganism. The author gives us an inside view of the thrills, difficulties and conflicting nuances of these ad hoc communities and their significance toward the possible establishment of more permanent institutions."—Michael York, author ofThe Emerging Network: A Sociology of the New Age and Neo-Pagan Movements
