Abstract:

In many ‘traditional’ cultures, religion and magic
are not easily separated from people’s everyday
existence. Today, an increasing number of people
within North America are drawn to some form of
earth-centred spirituality, whether as solitary
practitioners or members of Neopagan circles,
Wicca covens, Heathen kindreds or Druid groves.
For many of these people, religion and spirituality
do not form a closed category of their experience:
they inform, and are formed by, events of their
lives as distinct or diverse as childbirth, gardening, social protest, sexual expression, and everyday
occupations of work and leisure
