Summary: Sympathetic Christian Scholar doesn't quite "get" Magic
Review: "in order to heal estrangement from Biblical religion"
Well, No. Biblical religion has naught to do with our practice of Witchcraft, it is certainly not the goal of our religion as the above seesm to imply. This editorial review above does betray the author's bias; she is not a Pagan despite recieving initiation in Reclaiming tradition of Witchcraft. Ours is an ecstatic religious tradition of the immanent Goddess, fundamentally different from the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic religions, but also more ecstatic, activist, transfomational and less into polarity than Wicca. Her style is scholarly, yet her biases shape her research.
