This ambition tome
definitely provides a wonderful (most recent) culmination of a very
prolific and broad-spectrum writer who has filled our bookshelves for
decades.
DJ Conway takes us on the
ultimate guide through the various pantheons of Gods and Goddesses, from
the common to the obscure. Far from giving limited lore and facts
about the Deities themselves, Conway dives further into explaining the
political history and atmosphere at the time the mythologies were born and
tracks the evolution of the aspects through a progression of time.
Divided into sections by
country, each chapter includes a history, standard dress and ornamentation
of the time, mythologies, a listing of major Gods and Goddesses of the
pantheon (with detailed affiliations given), sacred animals and an
extensive bibliography particular to that pantheon.
This book is an excellent
reference tool for any coven or personal libary.
