Her hidden children : the rise of Wicca and paganism in America

"The history of American Paganism - with so many invented lineages, so many solitary practitioners, so much resistance to staid definition, so much hiddenness - can be hard to decipher. But in Her Hidden Children, author Chas S. Clifton relates many never-before-told stories of the origins of Paganism and Wicca in the United States, describing the people, publications, and organizations that allowed Paganism and Wicca to take root and become "nature religion." With a timeline, glossary, and photos of important figures, Her Hidden Children is important for any student of Paganism or American religion."--Jacket
