Customer Reviews

awesome

This books got it all, I didn't know there were THAT many deities! Definately a must have for any witch/pagan/coven...or anyone who wants to know anything about any deity.

Excellent for research or casual skimming

This book is an excellent resource for anyone seeking basic information about the stunning variety of gods that humans have believed in over the last several centuries. A common challenge for believers is to avoid becoming so fixated on their particular god or gods that they ignore or never learn about other gods. Just skimming through this book will expand one's awareness about our long-time obsession with gods. I highly recommend this book. --Guy P.
