More About This Title Lilith's Garden

English

A companion volume to Anderson's award-winning first book of poetry, Thorns of the Blood Rose, these poems were selected by the author before his death to be contained in the present collection. Picking up where the first book left off, the poems explore themes of love, death, the beauty of the natural world, and devotions to the Goddess and God in their many guises. Some of the poems which were deemed too scandalous for inclusion in the previous work are published here for the first time.

English

Victor H. Anderson was the seminal teacher of the Feri tradition. An extraordinary poet, priest and shaman, he trained some of the most influential voices in neo-Paganism, including Starhawk and Gwydion Pendderwen. Blind since childhood, Anderson began teaching the tradition in the 1950s in California and rose to fame with the publication of his first book of poetry, Thorns of the Blood Rose, in 1970.
