About the Author

Gus diZerega, PhD, has extensive teaching and publishing experience both in mainstream social science and on Pagan and shamanic subjects. Gus is a Third Degree Elder in Gardnerian Wicca; has studied closely with Timothy White, founder of Shaman’s Drum magazine; and has intensively practiced Brazilian Umbanda for six years under Antonio Costa e Silva, later integrating it into his own healing work. He has given workshops and talks on Pagan spirituality and healing in the United States and Canada.

Gus’ more secular research has focused on democratic theory, complex adaptive systems in the social and biological world, and environmental theory and policy. His extensive academic publication record includes papers in many refereed journals, chapters, and books, and he has organized international conferences and taught internationally in the social sciences.

God Is Dead, Long Live the Gods brings these two strands of his life together in a way he believes does justice to both.
