Born
Tennessee , The United States

Genre


I grew up in Tennessee with the woods right outside my back door. Wandering through them gave me a sense of connection to Nature and to a certain Forest God.

I’m a Druid graduate of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and a member of Ár nDraíocht Féin. I served 12 years as the Coordinating Officer of the Denton Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans and 3 years on the Board of Trustees of CUUPS Continental. My first book The Pagan of Paganism was published in 2017 by Llewellyn Worldwide.

I’ve been writing, speaking, teaching, and leading public rituals since 2003. I live in the Dallas – Fort Worth area and I earn my keep as an engineer.

John Beckett isn't a Goodreads Author (yet), but they do have a blog, so here are some recent posts imported from their feed.

Five Messages on Walpurgisnacht

In recent years Walpurgisnacht has become a solitary observance for me, a time for meditation and journeying. At this year’s Walpurgisnacht, I heard five messages for me and my spiritual practice, but that I imagine will be relevant to many others.

Quotes by John Beckett  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Any religion can give you answers to these questions. The fact that different religions give different answers—sometimes radically different answers—is proof of how hard they are. A good religion will help you explore the questions, contemplate possible answers, and find the ones that best fit your values, beliefs, and experience of the world. Good religion will give you tools for living when there are no answers.”
John Beckett, The Path of Paganism: An Experience-Based Guide to Modern Pagan Practice
