For nearly two decades, 'Drawing Down the Moon', the only detailed history of a little-known and widely misunderstood movement, has provided the most authoritative look at the religious beliefs, experiences, and lifestyles of the neopagan culture.

Now fully revised-the classic study of Neo-Paganism Almost thirty years since its original publication, 'Drawing Down the Moon' continues to be the only detailed history of the burgeoning but still widely misunderstood Neo- Pagan subculture.
