Modern Pagan and Native Faith Movements in Central and Eastern Europe

"This is the first book to offer a remarkably comprehensive and differentiated picture of the neo-pagan movements in Central and Eastern Europe. It does not limit itself to a country by country analysis, but encourages a reflection on Native Faith's roots in Romanticism and nationalism, and their interaction in a globalized world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in this important but much neglected topic." - Marlene Laruelle, George Washington University "Not only does this diversified work present a detailed and historical journey through previously unexplored territory for the West, it also provides an advantageously useful reference resource concerning twelve Central-Eastern European peoples." - Michael York, Bath Spa University "A fascinating set of studies of (neo)pagan and other local religious-cultural movements ... a tantalizing volume." - Anthropology Review Database "An absolute must-read for all serious scholars of Pagan studies, and a very useful guide for undergraduates or other students taking their first tentative steps into this ever expanding field - It would not be an exaggeration to state that this is the most important book published within Pagan studies in the last five years - Highly recommended." - Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review "The book covers a fascinating religious phenomenon that is little known in the English speaking world. Recommended." - Choice
