A Field Guide To The Gods explains the evolution of the zodiac based Old Religion. Section I details the evolution of the Pagan male/female duality as a symbol system, how the events of the zodiac wheel underlie each of the Sabbats, and their meaning in myth and history.
Section II explains how this Pagan male/female duality was displaced by the good/evil duality, introduced by the Persians in the 6th Century BC that became Christianity. Pagans should understand the bizarre metamorphosis by which Christianity displaced the Old Religion, what the two systems share, how they differ, and the secrets of both.
