Paganism for Prisoners: Connecting to the Magic Within (Revised & Expanded Edition)

A revolutionary approach to making magic accessible for everyone.

Paganism for Prisoners is a year-and-day-style course for Pagans who are incarcerated or in other situations that prevent them from having full access to tools and resources. Designed to have one chapter per month discussed in a group or one-on-one setting, this book provides thirteen magical lessons that can introduce readers to Paganism while allowing them to apply these lessons to other areas of their life. Awyn Dawn’s revolutionary volume serves as a vital companion for those on a resource-scarce journey through Paganism.

This 2025 edition has been revised and expanded to contain some additional topics, such as death doulas, an updated list of what is available to the Pagan prison population, and new exercises to expand practical and working knowledge. Paganism for Prisoners is a critical addition to the field, ensuring equal access to magic for all.

Awyn Dawn is an award-winning author of many books on magic. Her career started in 2014 when she wrote freelance articles. In 2020, she wrote Paganism for Prisoners in response to the limited amount of magical literature available to incarcerated Pagans. She has since written several other books on Paganism. She now lives in the UK and spends her time beekeeping, exploring historical sites, and teaching creative writing.
