“Wicchecraft the Way, the Powers that be, for the young and the old, the bold and the free. The Path is to know, the Path is to see, the way of the Ancients, as it used to be. All be Earth’s children of Sun and of Moon, down through the ages we’ve danced to the tune. The flow of all life through Goddess and God, none shall forsake thee, the Sword, and the Rod. Holy the Star that is worshipped in Truth, Morgaine, and Merlin forever in Youth. All is the Horned One, Fertility Rite, and Blessed Be Diana, in Love and in Light. Candles and Incense and Tools of the Trade, for Magus and Wicche Queen all debts shall be paid. Praise are the Elements Fire, Earth, Water, and Air, Celebrations and Sabbats, you will find us there. Blessed be the Power, and Bind ye the Cord, Blessed is the Union, and Love the reward. The Wicches song of the Ages echoes again, Blessed is the knowledge, long may it reign. The Path of the Wicche, the Path of the Wise, in Power and Glory, all Truth shall rise. We stand United, through Ages long past, the Truth that is Wicchecraft, forever shall it last. Gathered together those of the Kin, in freedom and Love beyond any sin. Merry Meet, Merry Part, tis Union for all, Blessed the Fellowship that answers Her Call!” Tamara Von Forslun 1978

Book Description
The most common description of the supernatural landscape in Vietnam makes a distinction between Buddhist and non-Buddhist “sides.” The “Buddha side” (ben phat) is the focus of this investigation into the intersection of gender, power, and religious praxis. Employing an anthropological approach to Buddhist practice that takes into account modes of action that are not only socially constructed and contextual, but also negotiated by the actors, The Buddha Side uniquely explores how gender and age affect understandings of what it means to be a Buddhist. In seeking to map out the ways and meanings of Buddhist engagement, Alexander Soucy examines everything from the skeptical statements of young men and devotional performances of young women to the pilgrimages of older women and performances of orthodoxy used by older men to assert their position within the pagoda space. Soucy draws on more than four years’ experience conducting ethnographic research in Hanoi to investigate how religious practice is grounded in the constitution and marking of social identity. From this in-depth view, he describes the critical role of religion in shaping social contexts and inserting selves into them. Religion can thus be described as a form of theatre—one in which social identities (youth, old age, masculinity, femininity, authority) are constructed and displayed via religious practice. A compelling look at the performative aspect of Buddhism in contemporary Vietnam, The Buddha Side will be welcomed by anyone with an interest in Buddhism as it is practiced on the ground.
