Being a Pagan: Druids Wiccans and Witches Today - Softcover

"This book should appear on the suggested reading list given to any student on a Pagan path."--PanGaia: Living the Pagan Life

"Being a Pagan is well researched and offers a panoramic outlook on a growing spiritual movement offering hope for our Earth."--New Age Retailer

"The collection is refreshingly unlike other spiritual self-discovery books because it is not a how-to, but instead an oral documentation of actual practice, thus providing an extremely valuable historiography of paganism."--Small Press

"Hopman and Bond are evenhanded in their treatment of each individual expression of paganism, never setting one against the other. Their biases never show, which in itself is quite a feat. The questions asked are pertinent and probing. If you are not a pagan, this book is definitely for you. It does not seek to convert, only to inform and challenge your own faith, or lack of it. For both pagan and non-pagan, if nothing else, it will change your understanding of what it means to call oneself 'pagan.'"--Brigit's Feast

"I cannot begin to describe how much I enjoyed this book! Being a Pagan made my December Top Ten list, and I firmly believe that this is a volume every witch should own. Containing dozens of interviews with every major leader of the modern Pagan movement, representing an equal number of paths, Traditions and perspectives, Hopman and Bond have created an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Earth-Based Spirituality."--Stefani Barner, The Pagan Activist, Feb 2007

More than 60 pagan leaders and teachers describe in their own words what they believe and what they practice, addressing how ways of worship from sources as diverse as the pre-Christian Celts, ancient Egypt, and Native American traditions are currently helping their followers find meaning in life while living in the Information Age.
