Product Description
Synopsis
Continued denials of impending danger to what government and industry regard as an inanimate planet and the witches see clearly as the endangered body of our beloved mother mean the plot could be culled from today's scientific newspaper. In 1980, Omega was "recent future" science fiction, and, although the setting is now, the premise still holds. Scientists have learned to tap the power of the earth's electro-magnetic field - put 150 kilowatts of power into two electrodes on opposite sides of the globe, and get 4015 megawatts. They think the world's energy problems are over! Well, not quite...The conflict is between the forces of technology and greed and the gentle men and women who have respect for the land, are in touch with nature, and practice the "craft of the wise" - witchcraft. This is a book with a lesson: there is no time like the present to start healing the great mother. And this is the kind of book that can win people to the cause of so doing.

A thought-provoking book on Witchcraft, politics & survival!
13 Feb 1998
Format:Hardcover
This book by Stewart Farrar was one of the first I'd read from him. I could NOT put it down! It takes the reader on a journey into a future not too far from our own day, where politics and religion blend
into a terrifying combination!
Farrar makes each character come alive, and the protagonists are
not only beliveable but the kind of neighbors I'd love to have!

Great story, and very thought provoking

This novel is a little dated in that it writes about a "future" date that we're already beyond, but just like "1984" that doesn't keep the story from being very engaging and gripping. The things it points out about society and government "black ops", coupled with the view of people surviving as "outlaws" makes for a very good read.
essential book in my collection

I first read Omega about 25 years ago. it was my formal introduction to Wicca, and it changed my outlook on everything. I also couldn't put it down, and for 25 years, kept it close to me. last summer, through a sad chain of circumstances, my copy was destroyed. I wrote to Janet (his widow) but never got an answer.
then I found it here on amazon. thank you.
over the years, Moira, Dan, Rosemary, Greg, Angie, Eileen, and Peter have become my friends.
there are some very special books that I can just pick up, and start reading; this is one of them. the political activities are eerily accurate, and very frightening, and the destruction of the World seems to me to be more fact than fiction every day.
as for his craft, I can't complain. there are no continuity errors that I've ever found, and all his characters are well-developed and "true" to themselves. it's a giant canvas, and the story is riveting.
in the end, it comes down to the traditional struggle between good and evil. the ending is amazing.
and it's REAL; I've been to the Red Lion Inn.
as little Diana says, "Blessed be".
