Paganism: Pagan Holidays, Beliefs, Gods And Goddesses, Symbols, Rituals, Practices, And Much More! An Introductory Guide Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
What is paganism? Is it an heretical faith that stands in opposition to Christianity? It is devil worship? The answer is no times three. “Paganism” does not refer to a single religion, but to a collection of earth-centric polytheistic philosophies that harken back to belief structures that pre-date Christianity. Pagans of all types believe that there are many paths to reach a harmonious relationship with deity. No single one is more valid than another. Since pagans do not see the world as locked in a cosmic struggle between good and evil, they do not recognize the Christian concept of Satan nor do they worship him. The notion of “pagan” as “heretic” is only valid when seen through the lens of Christianity. In her latest book, author Riley Starr offers a gentle introduction to the world of earth religions aimed at the beginner. Using Wicca, Druidry, and Odinism as exemplars, Starr explains what it means to function both as a pagan within a group and as a sole practitioner. With suggestions for starting a ritualistic life and for adopting the use of protective symbols, Starr opens the door for new followers of paganism to take the first steps in their own journey and encourages them to embrace a lifelong study of the deities and symbols that speak exclusively to them. Pagan holidays, beliefs, gods and goddesses, symbols, rituals, practices, and much more!

I read this very quickly. I'd say less than a couple hours- it was a very interesting perspective on Paganism with lots of good points & ideas to remember, especially if you're just getting started! In the back it has many resourses for reccomended books & online websites, too, which I found very helpful. Thanks!
Pretty good, albeit brief description and explanation of several different forms of pagan religions/belief systems. Quite a bit of information packed into a small package. There's a nice list of other "suggested reading" and online sources/links in the back of the book as well. Good book for a newbie to paganism to help get you informed and started down the path of our pre-Christian forbears.
This book was a great read. Written in a way that is easy to understand, I am glad that I was finally able to learn about neo paganism. I enjoyed reading this book very much. Thank you!
This book offers a good overview of paganism, druids and wicca, as practiced today. A quick read. Good bibliography and online reading list.
I enjoyed this book a great deal. Would definitely recommend. To my friends who are just starting out on the path
Although mostly centered around Wicca, this book gives good information for the beginner or those who are curious as to what it's all about.
informative. explains what wiccan/pagans having been saying for years that "we ARE NOT devil worshipers"
Good book. Finished in a couple hours. Great source for basic information on paganism.
