About this product

Product Information

Magic has stepped out of the movies, morphed from the pages of fairy tales, and taken root in the modern mind. Soccer moms are getting voodoo head washings in their backyards, young U.S. soldiers send chants toward pagan gods of war, and a seem-ingly normal family has determined that they are in fact elves. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are turning toward the supernatural in new ways, blending the ancient and the modern for a hyper-charged spirituality. They are reaching back in time to powers that have sustained the human imagina-tion for thousands of years. For many of us, magic is taking hold in less obvious ways. Almost unconsciously we find ourselves noting mysterious synchronicities that point to a plan for our lives. We are heeding premonitions, marking good omens, scrutinizing our dreams, and interpreting visions as direct communications. Thinking we might be called crazy, most of us never utter a word to anyone. But others of us are bolder. The community of Wiccans, witches, and pagans is growing faster than any other religious group in America. Voodoo, hoodoo, and Santeria are attracting middle-class believers across the country. National bestselling author and award-winning religion reporter Christine Wicker leaves no talisman unturned in her hunt to find what's authentic and what's not in America's burgeoning magical reality. Her investigation leads her from the voodoo temples of New Orleans to the witches' covens of Salem to a graveyard in north Florida as she probes the secrets of an underground society and learns lessons she never dreamed could be taught. Her new teachers are an odd crew: Myrna the Death Puppet, Tracy, Queen of the Vampires, and Siva, a tenderhearted satanist, along with people who truly believe they are fairies, werewolves, and dragons. The reporter in Wicker listens harder than she ever has, and she doesn't let herself roll her eyes -- not even once. What she learns repels her, challenges her, and then changes her in ways she never could have imagined. And if you let it, it might change you, too.

Great seller! Was packaged perfectly and everything was exactly as described. I did receive the box with a tiny delay (1-2 days) as it had been ripped open by one of the USPS sites it stayed at before arriving to my local USPS. However nothing was stolen and it’s 100% not the seller’s fault. Holiday thieves are always lurking! Happy Holidays and thanks again! My wife absolutely loves it!

  • Boring and Flat, Hard to get through

    I read her book "Lily Dale" and it was pretty good. This one was so basic it was boring and hard to get through. I like to read books where I learn something. This one left me bored and tired. If you are into reading about different "off" religions like voo-doo and you want some real technical stuff then you may like it. This author goes out to explore the unknown and I give her credit for that but this book would only appeal to such a small crowd that it can sell well. I like what the author does in her travels to uncover secrets but she has to make the text of the book appealing and she failed on this one.

  • Surprisingly good

    I bought this book on a whim and was actually pleasantly surprised. As a graduate student in sociolgy, I thought the book was actually a rather balanced look at non-mainstream religion in America today. While not an academic work in the traditional sense, the author does rely on a lot of established theory and presents it in a really accessible and entertaining manner. I would recommend it, and have, to anyone looking at a non-traditional view of religion in American society.

  • Not inpressed

    I got this book online and thought it sounded very interesting, However when I was trying to read it it was not very interesting. It is almost like one sentance starts and doesn't stop. The authors way of writting is difficult to stay with. Repeating several topics in differant chapters over and over. This book really is not about true magic, it is more of a one persons opinion that anything good happens is magic. I did not even totally finish the book, it held no interest for me.
