Focusing on modern magic as practiced by contemporary Pagans in Britain, the book explores the essence of magic as a communication with an otherworldly reality. It delves into themes of identity, gender, and morality, presenting a fresh perspective that challenges traditional anthropological views influenced by western science. The author posits that the concept of the otherworld is a fundamental aspect of magical practice, offering insight into how these beliefs shape the experiences and identities of practitioners.
