BOK Celebrating the Seasons of Life: Samhain to Ostara ENGELSKA
Av: Ashleen O'Gaea
Förlag: New Page Books
Unique among books about the Wiccan Sabbats, Celebrating the Seasons of
Life: Samhain to Ostara takes a different approach to explaining the
holidays by looking in-depth at half of the Wheel of the Year. Rather
than dissecting each holiday, Ashleen's goal is to take a broader look
at them, explaining how and why we celebrate each, along with how the
celebration of one leads to the next.
The first of two new titles from Ashleen offers a vision of the holidays
we celebrate from October to March, including:
• Samhain (October 31st)
• Yule (December 21st)
• Imbolc (February 2nd)
• Ostara (March 21st)
Celebrating the Seasons of Life: Samhain to Ostara first gives the
history and original customs of each holiday, then explains its place in
modern life. Stories are shared for each Sabbat, to reconnect us with
our lore and bring new meaning to current practice. Ashleen includes
ideas for rituals that are ideal for practicing solitaries, covens or
Wiccan families, with special sections on what children of various ages
are ready to learn about these holidays.
Celebrating the Seasons of Life is conveniently complete with
Circle-casting directions for groups and individuals who don't have a
"usual way" or would like to try something new. It's brimming with
original material that can be used by any practitioner to refresh or
embellish his or her rites, including recipes and creative ideas to
capture seasonal fun without forgetting the significance of each Sabbat.
