Magic has stepped out of the movies, off the pages of fairy tales and into the modern mind. Soccer moms are getting voodoo head washings in their backyards, U.S. soldiers chant to pagan gods of war, and one otherwise normal family has determined that they are, in fact, elves.
For many of us, magic is entering our lives in subtle ways. We heed premonitions, scrutinize our dreams, and note inexplicable synchronicities. Of course, we never tell anyone. But others are bolder. The community of Wiccans, witches, and pagans is growing faster than any other religious group in the United States. Voodoo, hoodoo and Santeria are attracting middle-class believers across the country. In Not in Kansas Anymore, national bestselling author and award-winning religion reporter Christine Wicker leaves no talisman unturned in her hunt to find what’s authentic and what’s not in America’s burgeoning magical reality. From voodoo temples in New Orleans to witches’ covens in Salem to a graveyard in north Florida, Wicker learns things that repel her, challenge her and change her in ways she never could have imagined. Christine Wicker is the author of the highly acclaimed national bestseller Lily Dale. She is a former religion reporter for the Dallas Morning News and has won numerous journalism awards, including the Clarion Award, the Wilbur Award, the Sunday Magazine Editor’s first place for feature writing, and seven first place prizes from the Dallas Press Club. She lives in Brookfield, Wisconsin with her husband. “Both witty and wise ... a fascinating read for the curious about the state of magic in America.” – Radiant Magazine
