"This book is a collaboration between a large number of people both in and out of academia who contributed their knowledge, time, and energy toward the shared goal of providing a three-dimensional picture of modern Pagan religions as they now exist in Europe, the British Isles, and North America. Many of the authors are themselves personally involved in the Pagan religions they write about, and they consulted extensively with Pagan religious leaders and practitioners whom they know in a personal way. It is hoped that this gives the book an intimate feeling and an insider perspective that accurately reflects the living reality of the Pagan traditions discussed in its pages"--Preface.
