Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today is a 1979 book by Margot Adler. Adler is a Neopagan herself and a reporter for National Public Radio.
The book is an examination of Neopaganism from a sociological standpoint, discussing the history and various forms of the movement. It contains excerpts from many interviews with average Pagans, as well as with well-known leaders and organizers in the community.
The book has been revised and re-released in series of updated editions, the first in 1987. Successive versions have included over one hundred and fifty pages of additional text and an updated contacts section. It has been praised by Theodore Roszak, the New York Times Book Review, Ursula K. Le Guin, the Journal of the American Academy of Religion, and Susan Brownmiller.
