Bag om I Know Where the Bodies are Buried
Samuel Wagar's fourth book, a memoir, was published on the 13th of January, the 20th anniversary of the start of the religious discrimination scandal when the BCNDP removed him as a candidate for being a Witch. Wagar talks about that scandal but also a wide ranging political career as an anarchist and peace activist (which included pie-killing a politician, anti-nuclear protests, and provides fascinating insights into the hard left in 1980s Toronto), in the NDP and later Green Party, several differences of opinion in the Pagan communities of Toronto and British Columbia through the 1990s, starting a church (Congregationalist Wiccan Association of BC) and other community service (an annual festival, assistance with starting Panfest and the CWA Alberta, involvement in the Canadian National Pagan Conference / Gaia Gathering). He also speaks of areas of his private life - the births of his sons, his covens, visits that he organized from famous Pagan friends, and other things. An insightful memoir written by one of Canada's Wiccan Elders that will shed valuable light into parts of Canada's religious history. And Wagar cites documents and provides footnotes - the opinions are his, the facts are real.
