Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America |

This was a detailed and very well researched book (especially for it‘s time). While there are a couple of contradictions and a one or two points I disagree with, it‘s definitely a pick. I learned a lot and am glad to have expanded my knowledge.
pickWow, there's a lot of pagan history in this book that I had no idea even existed. There were bits and pieces that I knew about and that I have experienced, but so much of our history is lost to us. This book is a gift and a blessing, and while it is long at times and a bit boring and redundant, it is vital for young and new pagans to read. To know where they came from and where they are going.
These are my reads for July. I didn't read as much as I did last month andi am half way through the tagged book. I did a lot of short story collections. Which was interesting.
pickVery informative book. I listened to this audiobook over the span of a week. It is full of history and lots of intriguing data and facts about various pagan religions. I took my time with it because there was so much information and I didn't want to miss anything. Excellent read if this is a topic you're interested in.

AHHHH MY FIRST SEMESTER OF GRAD SCHOOL IS DONE. Chronic illness stuff has been acting up lately so I barely made it through, but now I am done, and in 7 hours I will be starting my ~12 hour journey home to NC for Christmas. Hopefully that means lots of reading.🤞 Audible gave me free books in a settlement thing, so I also have 3 new audiobooks to look forward to! (After I finish my current reads 😂)
The Charge of the Goddess.
"Most Pagans are avid readers...But as readers, they are an elite, since readers constitute less than twenty percent of the population in the United States."
"Socially understood, polytheism is eternally in unsolvable conflict with social monotheism, which in its worst form is fascism and in its less destructive forms is imperialism, capitalism, feudalism, and monarchy..."
Started this one tonight courtesy of a heart sister of mine sending it to me through the mail. Book mail is the best mail there is.
The moon and stars stickers seemed appropriate here. 🌙✨🌙✨🌙 A friend recently came out as a witch to me and encouraged me to read this book. There are so many misconceptions about paganism, neo-paganism, Wicca, witchcraft, and other nature-based polytheistic religions. I was expecting this book to drag like a textbook, but it really doesn't. I'm fascinated and very happy my friend found a religion that works for her.
