Through his publication of Green Egg magazine over a period of 30 years, Oberon was instrumental in the founding of the modern Pagan movement, which he so named. In 1970, he had a profound Vision of the Living Earth that he published as an early version of "The Gaia Thesis." Oberon is an initiate in several magickal traditions and has been involved in many interfaith projects. He is a thealogian and ritualist, creating and conducting rites of passage, seasonal celebrations, Mystery Initiations, Earth-healings, and other large rituals. Oberon has traveled throughout the world, celebrated solar eclipses at ancient stone circles, raised unicorns, and swum with mermaids in the Coral Sea.

Just as with the Grimore, I really enjoyed this book and have done everything in it. It was a beginning, and I continue the study of each topic on my own.

This book is dated in a lot of ways by modern standards. Not all aspects of it aged well and it is very much beginner-oriented. I gave it four stars however because this book is the first one I’ve seen in a while to treat subjects like naturalism, astronomy, chemistry, mathematics and even stage magic as aspects of magick that complement certain paths within it and I think that spirit is something that should be more prevalent.
