A compelling portrait of an emerging religious groupVoices from the Pagan Census provides unprecedented insight into the expanding but largely unstudied religious movement of NeoPaganism in the United States. Helen A. Berger, Evan A. Leach, and Leigh S. Shaffer present the findings of 'The Pagan Census,' which was created and distributed by Berger and Andras Corban Arthen of the Earthspirit Community. Analyzing the most comprehensive and largestscale survey of NeoPagans to date, the authors offer a portrait of this emerging religious community, including an examination of NeoPagan political activism, educational achievements, family life, worship methods, experiences with the paranormal, and beliefs about such issues as life after death.A collection of religious groups whose practices evolved from Great Britain's Wicca movement of the 1940s, NeoPaganism spread to the United States in the 1960s. While the number of people who identify themselves with the religion has continued to rise, quantitative study of NeoPaganism has been difficult given the movement's lack of centralized leadership and doctrine and its development as scattered, independent groups and individuals. Endorsed by all major NeoPagan leaders, 'The Pagan Census' generated a demographically diverse response. In contrast to most previous surveys, which were limited to NeoPagan festivals, this survey incorporates input from the large population of practitioners who do not participate in such events.Keenly anticipated by the academic and NeoPagan communities, the results of the census provide the most indepth information about the group yet assembled. Comparing NeoPagans with American society at large, Berger, Leach, and Shaffer show that although the two groups share certain statistical characteristics, there are differences as well. The scholars also identify variations within the NeoPagan population, including those related to geography and to the movement's multiple spiritual paths.
