5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! Just what I was looking for., February 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Seasons of the Sun: Celebrations, Festivals, and Observances (Paperback)

I have been looking for 'the perfect book' that celebrates the Wheel of the Year with rituals, correspondences, history, folklore, arts and crafts, recipes, dates, etc., in an easy-to-use format. I thought I would never find one that had everything I wanted, but 'Seasons of the Sun' is all the above and more. It's the perfect addition to any Pagan or Witch's library, or even those who just want history and folk lore on other spiritual traditions; it has information from dozens of cultures and on dozens of topics throughout the year. A wonderful way to celebrate the Wheel of the Year on your own, using this book as a guide to create your own celebrations and rituals. Thank you Ms. Telesco!
