“Paganism and Its Others<\/a>, a double issue that has been in the works for rather a long time, is finally published, including, among other things, discussion of Pagan-identified units on both sides of the Ukraine invasion and also perhaps the definitive (so far) article on Czech Pagan black metal music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the introduction by guest editor Michael Strmiska (free download<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find links to all the articles here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they are expensive<\/em>, you say. You do have choices. Are you at a university with a religious studies program? If you are on the faculty, suggest a Pomegranate <\/em> subscription to your library, and all the students will get online access. If you are not a professor, try to persuade a professor to recommend it to the library. Or use interlibrary loan; you should be able to that online nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit a publicly supported college or university, you may still have interlibrary loan privileges as a “community member.” And even small public libraries are plugged into networks with access to all kinds of materials. Just ask. You might be surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the online article preview will provide info about the author’s whereabouts. Universities have online directories in most cases. Sometimes a polite email explaining your interest in someone’s article might <\/em>just get you a PDF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
