The Pagan Book of Living and Dying
Collectible Edition
The Pagan Book of Living and Dying is the pagan omnibus on
death, much more than just a history of various cultural rituals and beliefs regarding death. This collection of essays, prayers,
and songs is a living document that draws on the resources of today's entire pagan community and fills the void left by ancient
sacramental rites lost over the centuries. Designed in such a way as to benefit both the leaders of the pagan community as
well as the individual reader, The Pagan Book of Living and Dying encourages preparation under the obvious, but often neglected,
understanding that death is seldom expected nor convenient but happens
to everyone.
The Pagan Book of Living and Dying discusses all aspects of death,
from pagan thealogy (from thea meaning goddess, rather than theo meaning god) to the dying process itself, and it even covers
sensitive subjects like helping children cope with death. Congenial essays such as Sharon Jackson's "Crash Course in Being
Present with the Dying" and insightful perspectives like Diana Paxson's "Preliminary Thoughts Toward Midwifing Your Own Passage"
offer a written spiritual resource for assisting and comforting the dying, and advice on facing one's own passage. The Pagan
Book of Living and Dying is simultaneously a practical guide, a comforting liturgy, and a new heritage that shows how to appreciate
life through a closer relationship with death.
