"Oh My Gods! Comic strip is the best thing I’ve read for ages! I’ve been a fan since the early days when it was just black and white … Shivian has a knack of getting to the heart of neo-pagan trends - often via the jugular. Cutting, witty, sometimes camp - but always exquisitely observed humor."

Jon Randall

editor of Pentacle Magazine

"Oh My Gods! offers hilarious and affectionately ironic humour based on scenarios that anyone who has tried to follow a pagan religion in the modern world will find extraordinarily familiar. I find it most enjoyable, and an excellent antidote for pagans / heathens / magickians who take themselves, or each other, too seriously."

KveldúlfR Gundarsson

author of Teutonic Magic

"This is some seriously clever occult humor! Hey, someone had to take the piss out of NeoPaganism. Leave it to Shivian Balaris to apply his observations and critiques in the form of entertaining comic art. For a lighthearted, fun, and educational perspective of our weird and Witchy ways, Oh My Gods! is the place to turn."

Raven Digitalis

author of Shadow Magick Compendium

"Oh My Gods! is Wild, Weird, & Witchy comic relief for some of the social tensions of our times. Shivian, its creator, works his magic as a beloved playful jester in the court of Baubo, Goddess of Irreverent Mirth."

Selena Fox

founder of the Pagan Spirit Gathering

"Serious fun for the thinking pagan ... a unique look at our world ... thanks to the wit and sarcasm of Stan, Victor, Vera, Winston and their cohorts, we can’t help but recognize our own stuff in this hilarious cartoon mirror."

Kristin Madden

author of The Book of Shamanic Healing

"Oh My Gods! graced the pages of PagaNet News for a number of years ... our readers always loved it! Shivian's ability to laugh at himself lends authenticity to a cartoon world in which nothing is sacred. Oh My Gods! helps us to see the "mirth" along with the "reverence", and shows us it's okay to laugh at ourselves."

Drema Baker

editor of If Journal (formerly PagaNet News)

"With 'Oh My Gods' Shivian holds a mirror to Pagan culture and makes us laugh at our own reflection - a potentially dangerous sport, but executed with prowess by his cute and quirky characters and his own charming sense of humor."

"A+ for originality, A+ for content ... a little obscure and odd ... it's cute, check it out."

"[Oh My Gods!] won’t give you all 105 keys to Tibetan esoteric wisdom. It won’t teach you how to fly away expediently when a small horde of eastern European townsfolk come after you with pitch-forks and torches. But it will make you laugh. Which, if you ask me, is far more important. If there’s anything in this world that’s still divine and left unsoiled, it’s the power of laughter to bring a smile to one’s face."

"My day just isn't complete until I've read Oh My Gods! ... humorous social commentary doesn't get any better than this!"
