Synopsis
Until recently, few scholars were even aware that a Slavic Magickal tradition still existed. Kenneth Johnson's book presents his true-life experiences in Russia with the living practitioners of this ancient magickal discipline. It also serves as a course in authentic shamanic practices. Readers can learn about the mythology and lore of the Slavic peoples, and there is material on festivals, cosmology, the gods, Otherworld spirits, and ancestor beliefs.

About the Author
Kenneth Johnson holds a degree in Religious Studies from California State University Fullerton. His emphasis was in the study of mythology and this interest is reflected in his writing and his astrological practice. Kenneth discovered astrology while traveling in Europe during the summer of 1973. He studied in Amsterdam and London before returning to the United States and developing a practice which focuses on archetypal themes and personal mythologies. In addition to his astrological interests, Kenneth is also a musical theater librettist and a member of the Dramatists Guild.
Reviews
Recent social changes in Russia spell opportunity for more than just burger burghers and computer czarinas. Johnson took advantage of Russia's new openness to search for what remains of ancient Slavic religious beliefs and rituals. Despite nearly a century of atheistic communism, he found evidence aplenty, from folk rituals to icons, from healing recipes to divination charms. Most interesting, he found practitioners who have gone public as psychic or shamanic healers. But Johnson does not merely share a travelogue of his adventures in shamanic Russia, though that would have been enough to make a fascinating book. He also provides an extraordinarily good review of the literature in English on Slavic religion. Moreover, he describes deities, old calendar beliefs, and ancient rituals in a lucid and appealing way. An excellent treatment of an unusual subject. Patricia Monaghan
