iPagan Book Review

Did you ever want to know a little more about Paganism? There are several different aspects to Paganism. iPagan has fifty-nine entries covering topics such as Shamanism, Wicca, Divine Feminine, and Druidry to mention a few. Because up to forty authors contributed to this expansive book it allows a fuller perspective.

Each contributing author has an intimate knowledge of their subject. This is a wonderful, enlightening read and I wish it was in paper or hardback. It’s a great resource book and the type of book it would be good to lend to friends, too. I am totally psyched about this book and imagine many others will be, too.
​
iPagan allows the reader to get a taste of each author's writing style and experience. It is kind of a glorious non-fiction epic anthology at 602 pages. It is currently available on Kindle for a mere .99 cents. It’s a bargain that can’t be beat.
