So.. I started reading this book..

Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler

            I have been a self declared Wiccan since the mid 1990's.  In 2004 a dedicant ceremony was performed by an HP (high priestess) for me.  I have studied the crafter for 14 years and find myself learning more and more about 'The Craft's' history.as of late.  When I was young the idea of gods and goddesses, magick, and spirits are what was interesting.  Now that I'm older, 29, the history of it has become so important.

           The book I recently picked up has had 3 editions (1979, 1986, and 2006).  The 1986 edition was republished with an updated Appendix in 1997. 

           While I find some pages to be difficult to read than others every bit of information is valuable.  The book goes into a deep rich history of a faith and a belief that has existed when cave paintings were a way of communicating.  The faith and religion has been called many names; been practiced in secret and in public.



   I am still reading the book and when I'm finished I'll be writing a follow up entry.  For anyone who is looking for a honest perspective without a lot of smoke and mirrors, I would highly recommend this book.
