How British Wicca Met American Nature Religion & What Happene
Her Hidden Children: The Rise of Wicca and Paganism in America
Author: Chas Clifton [a Witchvox Sponsor]
Publisher: AltaMira Press/Rowman & Littlefield
Category: Pagan studies Level: Advanced
Simply the best single work yet written on the history of American Paganism. It is perceptive, intelligent, sympathetic, and persuasive; tactful without sparing scholarly appraisal; personal without losing objectivity; and constantly engaging. This book embodies a beautiful mixture of warmth and rigor, and deals strictlyy with aspects of the subject that can be appraised from precise data, revealing to me, at least, how much more of the latter there was than I had ever thought.
--Ronald Hutton, author of THE TRIUMPH OF THE MOON and WITCHES, DRUIDS AND KING ARTHUR
Chas S. Clifton's HER HIDDEN CHILDREN is a pioneering look at the history of Neo-Pagan religious in the United States. Written with the sensitivity ahd humor of an insider and the dispassion of an outsider, it traces the early development of one of the fastest-growing religious movements in America today and its uniquely American use of the trope of 'nature' to create its identity.
--Sabina Magliocco, author of WITCHING CULTURE: FOLKORE AND NEO-PAGANISM IN AMERICA
Author's Notes: I wrote this book to do two things: To tell the history of the first decades of the Pagan movement, working from interviews and original written sources; and, more than anything, to try to work out what we Pagans mean when we talk about "nature religion" or "earth religion."
