Reviews of Books for Pagans of Many Paths
Find reviews of books of interest to Pagans of every stripe including witchcraft, Druidism, Wicca, the occult, history and lore. I originally published most of these during my time as editor for the Pagan site at BellaOnline. They've since been moved to various places online.
This will be a slowly growing catalog of my Pagan book reviews as I publish them. I no longer accept Pagan books from publishers for review, but I occasionally add reviews of what I'm currently reading.

- Hi Mel. Thank you for stopping by. I did most of these reviews when I was the editor for the Pagan site at BellaOnline.com. I'm not accepting books for review at this time, but you might want to contact the new Pagan editor, Teresa Post. She may be more likely to be accepting books for review. Here is a link: http://www.bellaonline.com/about/Pagan
