I want to expand my mind on this subject

Hi. I'm a college student interested in Religious Studies. I was wondering if anyone could recomend any literature to me so I could get a baseline on Pagan religions. I'd like a book that a complete outsider to pagan customs and beliefs could understand. Sort of an all encompassed guide.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Best way to open your mind is mediation, drugs, start questioning everything in your life, etc...

No book will answer your questions, you have to find them inside yourself But it's really really fun

 

You are a f*****g genius mate!

I love it - really

 

Yeah... I was thinking in more of an intellectual study kind of way...

 

You may want to look at some books about mythology?

I'm new at this, too.

 

One I like is: "Celebrate the Earth: A Year of Holidays in the Pagan Tradition" by Laurie Cabot. It had some basic information in it to get you started.

A true classic in Wiccan style beliefs. Goes month by month.

when trying to break the unknown hold of the masculine religio/political hold, i recommend "when god was a woman." it's a slight paradigm shift, and you have to read between the politico/feminist lines to a basic, simple understand that the god that designed the modern world may be male, but it was once much more egalitarian.

 

Don't get just one book, get as many as you can. Look for articles in pagan/wiccan sites.
