Witches of America / Alex Mar. by Mar, Alex, author. New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015. Subjects Neopaganism -- United States.   Wicca -- United States. ISBN:  9780374291372 (hardcover) : 0374291373 (hardcover) Description:  viii, 276 pages ; 24 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Witches are gathering." When most people hear the word "witches," they think of horror films and Halloween, but to the nearly one million Americans who practice Paganism today, witchcraft is a nature-worshipping, polytheistic, and very real religion. So Alex Mar discovers when she sets out to film a documentary and finds herself drawn deep into the world of present-day magic. Witches of America follows Mar on her immersive five-year trip into the occult, charting modern Paganism from its roots in 1950s England to its current American mecca in the San Francisco Bay Area; from a gathering of more than a thousand witches in the Illinois woods to the New Orleans branch of one of the world's most influential magical societies. Along the way she takes part in dozens of rituals and becomes involved with a wild array of characters. This sprawling magical community compels Mar to confront what she believes is possible--or hopes might be. With keen intelligence and wit, Mar illuminates the world of witchcraft while grappling in fresh and unexpected ways with the question underlying every faith: Why do we choose to believe in anything at all?--Adapted from book jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 299.94097 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Mar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Lost 11/26/2019 Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.94097 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
