Interesting perspective on the start of Wicca and Paganism in the U.S. and how it was changed by publishers who began a narrative for the Pagan market that "...Wicca had emerged in the 1970s as a sort of spiritual adjunct to the women's movement...that it was founded mainly by women, and that the Los Angeles-raised left-wing daughter of a Jewish psychotherapist - Miriam Simos, better known as Starhawk - was its prophet". This book's focus is on the early days when people were drawn to "... religion as an excursus from contemporary life". In the 1970s what began as a magical religion "adopted the additional descriptions of 'earth religion' and 'nature religion', linked to the environmental movement, which was itself politicized. What came from Europe as a "socially radical" but non-political mystery practice was burdened with a Leftist political bend that further changed the religion. It's an interesting read, with strong opinions on what happened over decades of outside influence. For those of us who are drawn to the Craft for the magical and mysterious religion, and have little interest in politics, activism, or consensus process, it illuminates that politics are not part of the Path unless you want them to be.

Wikipedia på engelsk (25)"The history of American Paganism - with so many invented lineages, so many solitary practitioners, so much resistance to staid definition, so much hiddenness - can be hard to decipher. But in Her Hidden Children, author Chas S. Clifton relates many never-before-told stories of the origins of Paganism and Wicca in the United States, describing the people, publications, and organizations that allowed Paganism and Wicca to take root and become "nature religion." With a timeline, glossary, and photos of important figures, Her Hidden Children is important for any student of Paganism or American religion."--Jacket. No library descriptions found. |
