Pagans Down Under (ATOM Study Guide)

Increasing numbers of Australians are moving away from the big, monotheistic religions in favour of alternative sources of spirituality. In a time when Western mainstream culture has lost its sense of transcendence, dramatic rituals celebrating the turning of the seasons, and the mysteries of sex, death and human existence, provide deeply meaningful experiences to Pagans in Australia.
