Magical Fantasy!

This is a great book to read, if you can find a copy. It has elements of paganism, fantasy & horror. A young woman's experiences in a small community, clashes between a pagan compound and a local christain group.The wild hunt bit in this book is great! Wonderful fantasy book for pagan readers!

Amazing..wonderful! Please, please, reprint it!

Alongside 'The Talisman' by Stephen King & Peter Straub, this is my equal favourite book of all time.I found that I could relate so well to the characters within the community, especially to the 'new recruit' who is an Illustrator like myself. The constant recognition of parts of my own psyche as they were gradually unveiled sent shivers down my spine.The plot is in parts thrilling, terrifying, surreal, sickening; in others exciting, emotional, even erotic.The coven/community (without wishing to give too much away) will undoubtedly appeal to anyone with an interest in Wicca, Earth Magick or the Western Tradition, as an ideal to which we may all aspire, but also serves to draw to the attention of all humankind just how cruel, thoughtless and intolerant we all are, and how much better the world could be if only we opened our minds and spirits and tried to live beyond the mundane.Unfortunately, I loaned my copy of the book to a friend some years ago and it was never returned. As I am longing to read it again (and keep this precious piece of literature forever), I implore the publishers to reprint in as soon as possible!

A Book for the New Age of the World

This book has the possibility of changing the way the world works. The community represented in this work is an atainable nirvana for the global community. The author has done a beautiful job of weaving suspense, romance and biographical information into a tale that will bring you into a different state of conciousness. I hope the publisher will get this book back into print soon. I lost my copy and I can't feature going into 2000 without it. I read it over 10 years ago, and the story still pulls at my heart.

To think and believe what others are afraid to

This had to be the best book I have ever read. I couldn't put it down until I was through. You can tell that a lot of time and effort went into this novel which makes it all the more interesting to read. Whitley Strieber is one of the best writers of all time, he writes down things that sometimes people think about and how they sometimes wish they could be. It was so interesting that it makes people wish they could be a part of the little town of Maywell. Wouldn't we all like to be Marian.

A lot of research went into this book!

This is one of THE BEST Wiccan books I've ever read! I've read it at least 5 times and am reading it again. I recommend it to everyone I know! The author did a tremendous amount of research before starting & it shows! There are very few discrepancies between the book and real life Wicca (which I've practiced for some time). The descriptions make me want to be part of Maywell's little town. The homestead in the book is a dream all witches I know have! Read it!!!!
