John C. Sulak

Spiritual Pioneers, Sexual Revolutionaries This is the stranger-than-fiction story of two soulmates who rejected the status quo and embraced higher ideals ... and had a whole lot of fun while they were at it. Reclaiming Pagan as a spiritual identity-and living in an open marriage for over four decades-Oberon and Morning Glory Zell truly embody the freedom to think, to love, and to live. Telling the story of their singular lives in this unique oral history, Oberon and Morning Glory-together with a colorful tribe of friends, lovers, musicians, homesteader, researchers and ritualists-reveal how they established the Church of All Worlds, revitalized Goddess worship, discovered the Gaea Thesis, raised real Unicorns, connected a worldwide community through Green Egg magazine, searched for mermaids in the South Pacific, and founded the influential Grey School of Wizardry. Join Morning Glory and Oberon as they share the highs and lows of their extraordinary lives, and explore the role they played in shaping the community of Witches and Pagans that thrives in the world today. Now in an expanded two-volume Special Edition! John C. Sulak conducted and edited hundreds of hours of interviews in addition to writing the narration for this oral history. John is the co-author of Modern Pagans (RE/Search Publications). He lives in San Francisco. True Iconoclasts of the Counterculture In the '60s, there were flower children, there were hippies, and then there were Oberon Zell and his soulmate, Morning Glory. The first people to reclaim the word "Pagan" to define the profound spiritual identity they helped create, Oberon and Morning Glory were true pioneers whose indelible influence on modern society has only been understood by those closest to them . . . until now. In The Wizard and the Witch, the Zell's close friend and associate John Sulak shares the amazing stories of two people, along with their far-reaching community of friends and lovers, who managed to evolve their spirits and their lives in ways never before imagined. Without ever compromising their radical ideals, Oberon and Morning Glory pushed the boundaries of free speech, free religion, and freedom of sexual choice. The way this book is written and the way each individual that participated in this expresses themselves is beyond beautiful. The big aspect for me in this book was their openness about their sexuality and the unique connections that they form with those they share their lives with. I feel that this book expresses Love, Sex, Body Image and Connection in a great way. It's not bastardized by a negative religious view but embraced by this positive inclusive view. DeviantWitch
