Praise for this book

"In Paganism in Depth, John Beckett once again builds a solid corpus from which a foundation of Paganism is derived, a practical and studied approach to practice is achieved, and in-depth understanding into next steps is described. John is thorough and insightful in his presentation: every section provides building blocks for those new to the path and those weathered in the Way. The reader will come away with knowledge, workable methods, and an understanding of the road ahead. There are treasures to be found here!"--Rev. Jean (Drum) Pagano, Archdruid of Ár nDraíocht Féin (ADF)

"For those looking to intensify and deepen their Pagan practice, Beckett's latest offering provides an inspirational, personal, and sagacious resource to do just that. Take your Paganism to the next level with this challenging yet important and timely work."--Kristoffer Hughes, head of the Anglesey Druid Order and author of From the Cauldron Bornand The Celtic Tarot

"Paganism In Depth is the elusive 'next-level book' that genuinely provides a roadmap for building a deeper and more meaningful Pagan practice. Beckett provides the insight and knowledge necessary to build both a lasting relationship with deity and the people who make up the greater Pagan community. This book will strengthen your magickal practice and add fire to your spiritual work. Great reading for Druids, Witches, and anyone in the magickal world who lives in a world full of gods."--Jason Mankey, author of The Witch's Athame and The Witch's Book of Shadows
