The course is designed around the text, Paganism: An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions, by Joyce and River Higginbotham (Llewellyn, 2002). If you are exploring Paganism, if someone you love is Pagan and you want to understand it better, or if you are an Interfaith explorer who wants a better understanding of Pagan beliefs, come and join us on this journey.
