The Pagan Thinker: Some aspects of Modern Western Paganism (Gruff, 2021) Full colour illustrations 185 pages |
Modern Pagans and Heathens in the UK, Europe and N. America do not need anyone to tell them what to do. There are, however, many accepted ideas within Paganism that are rarely discussed and analysed in depth. As a result, we are in danger of creating an orthodoxy without realising it! This book seeks out some relevant topics to consider, whether you are an established Pagan, Druid, Heathen, Shaman, Witch or a beginner thinking about your path. It is also of vital interest to the academic trying to understand the rapid changes in the esoteric scene over the last decades: what issues cause distrust or disinterest by Pagans seeking authoritative sources of information? Amongst the topics are identity, ethics, magic, community, deities and sacred places. Theology, leadership, rituals, symbology and the very future of Paganism are also examined. This should give you something challenging to consider and a way of evaluating the overload of available information and its sources. Without being told what to do or think, you should then be able to make up your own mind. |

A young man is found bludgeoned to death by dog walkers on a recreation field in Suffolk. The grumpy DCI Webb and his younger cocky colleague DS Newton have difficulty finding out who he is or why he was there. Piece by piece, they and their team painstakingly search for clues about his identity, address and why someone should want to murder him? They are told that he was a reticent, quiet, and inoffensive individual, so did he find out too much about someone or something? Are the dog walkers all as innocent as they appear? We get rare glimpses of the murder investigation through their eyes and interactions. Does his ex-girlfriend or college tutor hold the key to the mystery, or has the case a more international dimension? |
