This review of the new anthology edited by Kim Huggens (Avalonia, 2011) appeared in the recent edition of The Cauldron Magazine (May 2011). The Cauldron is widely recognised as a well-respected and leading magazine in the field of modern witchcraft and magic which has been published since 1976.
Review from Cauldron Magazine (No. 140)
“The vexing subjects of dualism, duality and polarity is one that often appears on Internet forums and discussion groups in relation to spirituality, magic, neo-paganism and the old pagan religions. This new book tackles the subject head on with a collection of twenty-one essays written about dualism by leading modern witches, magicians and occultists. The contexts include the divine twins, the gods of light and darkness in modern traditional witchcraft, duality in fairy tales, Perseus and Andromeda, the spiritual spouse in vodou, Shakti and Shiva, the Sun and The Moon cards in Tarot, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in Arthurian legend, the Battle of Calan Mai and polarity, the smith and the soldier in classical mythology, the divine twins of Greek myth, Innin and Dumuzi in Sumeria, Inanna and Ereshkigal in Mesopotamia, Freya and Frigga, polarity magic and exoteric neo-paganism. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
