<\/a>ABC-Clio is publishing “>Michael Strmiska’s<\/a> new anthology on contemporary Paganism<\/a>. I did a book with them in the early 1990s, and my experience was mostly good, especially with unexpected largesse from foreign-rights sales. Given the transnational nature of his book, maybe we should speak of “foreign rites” sales.<\/p>\n

OK, weak joke. I just got off the train. Note the cover: are we ever going to get beyond “Pagans standing in a circle”? It’s hard to find one visual center of attention in pictures like that. But congratulations to the editor and contributors anyway.<\/p>\n

From Equinox, look for Patriarchs, Prophets, and Other Villains<\/em><\/a>, which is not about what anyone might have learned in “seminary school,” to quote the Doors’ song<\/a>.<\/p>\n
