Product Description
This fresh medley of never-before-published pagan fiction is the result of a contest launched by Llewellyn and PanGaia magazine. A jury headed by popular author Diana Paxson pored through hundreds of entries and selected thirteen of the very best. From historic to contemporary fiction, fantasy to erotica, western to science fiction, these compelling tales span literary styles and a variety of pagan traditions. Ordinary women are transformed at a goddess festival when Iris is invoked. The incredible life of a teenaged, shape-shifting silkie is revealed in her diary. A fallen lady takes the form of a reindeer to bring the gods’ message to her village. In a world where psychics are feared, a shaman discovers his daughter is gifted. Romance blooms between a cursed techie geek and a pretty young witch.Redemption, self-acceptance, justice, love, and death are all explored in this remarkable anthology, conceived of and for the pagan community.
