Sarah Pike's engrossing ethnography is the outcome of five years attending neo-pagan festivals, interviewing participants, and sometimes taking part in their ceremonies. Earthly Bodies, Magical Selves incorporates her personal experience and insightful scholarly work concerning ritual, sacred space, self-identity, and narrative. The result is a compelling portrait of this frequently misunderstood religious movement. Neo-paganism began emerging as a new religious movement in the late 1960's. In addition to bringing together followers for self-exploration and participation in group rituals, festivals might offer workshops on subjects such as astrology, tarot, mythology, herbal lore, and African drumming. But while they provide a sense of community for followers, Neo-Pagan festivals often provoke criticism from a variety of sources-among them conservative Christians, Native Americans, New Age spokespersons, and media representatives covering stories of rumored "Satanism" or "witchcraft. "Earthly Bodies, Magical Selves explores larger issues in the United States regarding the postmodern self, utopian communities, cultural improvisation, and contemporary spirituality. Pike's accessible writing style and her nonsensationalistic approach do much to demystify neo-paganism and its followers.NeopaganismUnited StatesNeopaganismRitualsFestivalsUnited StatesUnited StatesReligion1945-Electronic books.NeopaganismNeopaganismRituals.Festivals299Pike Sarah M.1959-1053351MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449754803321Earthly bodies, magical selves2485211UNINA03285oam 2200733I 450 991045899360332120200520144314.01-135-84422-41-283-04582-697866130458290-203-88613-510.4324/9780203886137 (CKB)2560000000059924(EBL)646556(OCoLC)707067620(SSID)ssj0000471955(PQKBManifestationID)11330870(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000471955(PQKBWorkID)10433004(PQKB)11424619(MiAaPQ)EBC646556(Au-PeEL)EBL646556(CaPaEBR)ebr10452507(CaONFJC)MIL304582(OCoLC)710992667(EXLCZ)99256000000005992420180706d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrParenting after the death of a child a practitioner's guide /Jennifer L.
