Description
Oberon and Morning Glory Zell are true pioneers of paganism-in fact, they are responsible for popularizing the term pagan! Here, presented in a unique oral history format, are the stories of their singular lives, including the founding of the Church of All Worlds, their controversial creation of living unicorns, the establishment of the Grey School of Wizardry, and Oberon's discovery (while on psychedelic drugs!) of the Gaea Thesis. Join Oberon, Morning Glory, and their influential friends as they revolutionize the modern understanding of spirituality and have a whole lot of fun while they're at it. Searching for real-life mermaids, embracing polyamory, living a life of sexual freedom, creating a worldwide community through Green Egg magazine-these are the stories of a remarkable couple who embraced the aberrant and the offbeat and created a movement in the process.
