Kaldera, with help from blogger and Haitian Vodou initiate Kenaz Filan, discusses the practical side of a controversial but increasingly prevalent practice in modern paganism: Possession by deities or spirits. The book is not a manual for those who want to experience divine possession, but rather a guide for those who *are* experiencing it whether they want to or not. Both authors have worked extensively with this form of magic and spiritual devotion, and they are frank about both its dangers and its rewards. I have no experience with possession and no desire to do so, but from that perspective, this looks like an excellent book. Kaldera's writing is always frank and engaging, and so is Filan's, to judge by his blog.
