Around the World: Canadians in Print
For many
pagans, books are the gateway to knowledge. They are our first teachers of
magic and offer a new world of esoteric lore and knowledge. If you enter the
home of just about any modern pagan you will no doubt find a bookshelf (or many
bookshelves!) piled high with books written by English authors such as Gerald
Gardner, Doreen Valiente or the Farrars. There will no doubt be more than a few
by high profile American writers, names like Margot Adler, Isaac Bonewits and
Scott Cunningham or maybe the more contemporary Orion Foxwood or Christopher
Penczack. Both Britain and the United States both have successful and high
profile publishers of pagan books, Minnesota based Llewellyn Worldwide LTD.
being easily one of the most prominent. But north of the border, up in Canada,
a growing number of writers are finding their way into print and injecting a
Canadian influence into the pagan publishing world. But does being from Canada
influence pagan writing?
