Oh, it's so tempting to give this book only one star. But I don't find it dismally completely bad. It was coherent sentence structure and proper grammar, and it's organized into months and holidays properly, whcih may be the only three things keeping it from that.

I picked this book up because I

own and expand yearly on my collection of books which talk about the sabbats. And this one is broken down by months, with a ritual and a spell or activity in each. This book is about how to run a circle two to three times a month, for holidays and new and full moons, but it's only truly helpful in my opinion if you live where there is absolutley no pagan community to draw on anywhere (including the internet).

I started skimming somewhere around page eighty or ninty and never stopped. I'm amazing at how brazenly the author very much has things written in her preamble that anything that feels right (an' harms none) is perfectly acceptable, but then words the rest of her book for doing things only this specific way.

I'll definitely be adding this one up to my bookswap.
