Magus of Stonewylde by Kit BerryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Magus of Stonewylde is about the mysticism of a stone circle in Dorset and it is a modern interpretation of how the ancient pagans might have behaved in the religious/solstice celebrations. It centres around a modern “dropout” community but has all sorts of dictatorial undertones where freedom is fine, as long as it is authorised by the Leader. The writing is superb with wonderful descriptions of country living, ceremonies and the antagonisms which can happen in a rigorously defined class system. It’s an ancient story with a modern twist- definitely worth reading.
