Phyllis Curott talks about the growing problems of censorship for pagan authors, publishers, and bookstores.

Every book brings a certain amount of screwball mail, nasty mentions on fundamentalist websites and even threats. This most recent book seems to have really touched a nerve as there’s been an increase in all of these. And again I’m not alone in this problem. As I’ve traveled around the country I’ve learned that many bookstores - Pagan and “New Age” — are experiencing increased harassment and threats, including death threats. Like I was, many of the storeowners have been reluctant to mention their situations, feeling that it was something they just had to deal with, by themselves.
