The Pagan Census - Revisited
Quote:
Background info:
Pagan scholar Helen Berger, co-author of "Voices from the Pagan Census:
A National Survey of Witches and Neo-Pagans in the United States", has
announced that she and fellow researchers James R. Lewis and Henrik
Bogdan are revisiting the Pagan Census project.
The Pagan Census was first initiated nearly twenty years ago, and
compiled data from thousands of modern Pagans to give a fascinating
snapshot of our communities during Paganism's meteoric rise in the
1990s. Now, in an age of blogs and instant communications, an update is
underway to compare and contrast just how much we've changed.
"A number of scholars have noted that it would be helpful to have a
follow-up of that survey to see if and how the community has changed or
remained the same. The survey that follows uses many, although not all
of the same questions that were in the original survey to provide that
comparison. There are also new questions, for instance about the
Internet, something that was of little interest 20 years ago but is now,
and some from other studies, that again permit a comparison. This has
resulted in the survey being somewhat long-we appreciate your taking the
time to complete it."
