"Continuing a 25-year publishing tradition of 'cultural remapping' ... V. Vale offers us a spiritual solution with Modern Pagans. Paganism, in which the body and the Earth are admired and death is intrinsic, is thought to be one of the fastest-growing religions in the world . . . Vale has captured [it] with evenhanded, gracious keenness within the context of interviews with 50 practitioners of neo-ancient traditions."
San Francisco Weekly

"This book does a wonderful job of capturing the contemporary Pagan movement in the voices of its own members, drawn out in skillful interviews...Check out the cool photos, too...Highly recommended."
Pan Gaia

"Modern Pagans...is frighteningly fascinating. This is not your Harry Potter-Hagrid-Hollywood-Steven Spielberg-sugar-coated version of witchcraft, this is a warts'n'all look at the world's fastest growing 'religion.' ...212 pages of eye-opening, sometimes mouth dropping interviews and photographs. Wickedly good stuff."
