I am so glad to see this book back in print. I first read it years ago and have loaned to to many folks along the way. It explores the differences AND similarities that Paganism and Christianity share. And with a little creative imagination you can draw the same parelells with other religions. The transformation of the lead character from an uptight closed minded theocrat to a person that can actually see the divine in all things is an inspiration. Well done!
I read this book back in the 90's after a band called Sabbat wrote an album (Dreamweaver) based on the novel. My copy was getting rather tatty so it's nice to see it back in print once again. My new copy is on the way :)
The Way of Wyrd is an excellent story exploring the differences and similarities between Christianity and Paganism.
Wat Brand is sent to explore Pagan England to learn their ways ready for when Christianity invades.
However, his guide, Wulf, shows him far more than he could ever have imagined and Wat becomes submerged in the way of Wyrd. For the best way to learn of the Pagan spirits is to meet them face to face.
