Synopsis
Originally published in 1979, this study of the Neo-Pagan movement introduced the 20th-century resurgence of witchcraft and other non-Christian philosophies to a mainstream society, many of whose previous ideas of a "witch" involved pointy hats and perhaps a warty, crooked nose. NPR personality Margot Adler spent several years investigating the lifestyles of Wiccans, Druids, Goddess worshippers, and other non-mainstream but timeworn religious practitioners, and she creates vivid portraits of the ancient traditions still alive today. The revised edition (1997) also provides a resource guide to journals, newsletters, and festivals available to the aspiring Neo-Pagan. Any reader with an interest in or curiosity about the Pagan subculture will find a trove of entertainment and information in this vibrant book.

Industry Reviews
"By far the best and most comprehensive study of neopaganism."
Publisher's Catalog - Theodore Roszak
"The most original job of social-phenomena reporting I've read in years."
Publisher's Catalog - Susan Brownmiller
"Drawing Down the Moon is a serious corrective to common misconceptions....Adler, a neopagan herself, successfully demythologizes Western paganism without being sentimental or self-righteous....The reader benefits not only from Adler's acute scholarship, but also from her personal experience as a priestess in a Wiccan coven."
Cayton
"Given the lurid connotations neopaganism has acquired...'Drawing Down the Moon' is a healthy corrective."
McGonigle
