Title: Definitely not Everything Paganism
Product review: The book is a very light overview of Pagan religions. As a book targeted to the newbie attempting to discover information on the different Pagan religions and/or is seeking a path, this book is generally not useful. The information that is included is very weak and watered down. Information of the Reconstructionist religions such as Hellenismos, Religio Romana, CR, and Kemeticism is so generalized as to not have any value, and is nothing that a person could not imply from their names.The book also fails to do any substantial "compare and contrast" of the religions to give the reader an idea of the many substantial differences. Some chapters, such as those on ethics, magic, sexuality, et al, leaves the reader with the impression that there exists a universal doctrine that Pagans adhere to, and the different paths are nothing more then a different flavoring.Ultimately, while I cannot give the book a resounding "do not buy," I cannot recommend it.
