by Brendan Myers
On This Page
Description
Pagans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. Yet, there are many written works which also constitute its testament. Some of them are thousands of years old. This title collects these original works.Tags

A very interesting and unique book , in my opinion. A Pagan Testament takes a look into literally and oral works which have influenced and continue to influence the pagan community today. The book not only goes over the books and works which started the religion of Wicca, but also how other works both inside and outside the occult have also affect neopaganism as well. A Pagan Testament goes over songs, proverbs, poems, and folklore, both traditional and contemporary, which have come to influence the pagan movement all around the world in part and/or as a whole. A very interesting read.

Common Knowledge
- Dedication
- In a book where the Goddesses of the pagan world feature so prominently, it seems right to dedicate this book to certain special women in my life. Some I met recently; some I have known for a decade or more; some, perhaps, fo... (show all)r many lifetimes. All of them, in different ways, profoundly enriched my life while I was writing this book. I therefore dedicate this modest effort to these four magickal friends:Laura Jackson, NaTasha Bertrand, MJ Patterson, Amy Taylor.If tomorrow I am slain,
May my life's account remain:
