Toward Ecosophy

I'm a bit surprised you found "When a Pagan Prays" to be useful. It's one of the very few books I've literally thrown across the room. The chapter "Prayer Doesn't Work" in particular seemed to ooze with contempt and hatred toward people of faith. I bought the book assuming it would be all about the history of prayer in pagan cultures and the reclamation of prayer for contemporary pagans, but as the ending suggests it's as much a chronicle of the author's evolution from loathing to (reluctant) engagement with prayer (and her realization that she'd been a victim of spiritual abuse). No doubt it's a much more amiable book for people with an irreligious or atheistic background like the author, than someone like me who never questioned the existence of Gods, only the tenets of monotheism. For me it was so impious I had to purify after reading it, and I'm not hyper-sensitive to miasma. FWIW.
