Discover myths, rituals, recipes, and crafts for every month of theyear. Honor Saint Brigit with a prayer in February, or ensure a merry start to May with a bowl of frothy syllabub.

Traditional blessings, ancient lore, and guided meditations inspire you to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world, and view the sacred as an integral part of every day. Rediscover the wisdom and healing power of nature, and cultivate and honor your soul as you would the earth. Let the spirit of the ancient Celts enchant you in every season, year after year.

Summary: Celtic Spirit, an Uplifting Experience!
Comment: Thoroughly enjoyed reading (and re-reading) this book. I can see it being part of my personal library and holiday traditions for years to come.

Summary: New ideas in magazine format
Comment: This book keeps on giving. There are lots of ideas for celebrating the seasons, many of them not in other books, or at least not presented this way. I like it because when I am reading so many dense, heavy topics (which is always), I can pull this out and read a bit of this, a bit of that. And it is really beautiful.

Summary: Still Don't Know How She Did It
Comment: I received this book as a gift from my husband at the Winter Solstice in 2005, and finally am reviewing it. It has taken me this long because I don't quite know how to express the depth of my passion about this book. Everytime I open it, I feel I have a veritable one-volume library of Celtic lore. That's what I meant by I don't know how she did it! I've been on the Celtic path for over thirty years, and she not only puts in my favorite poems, she surprises me on every other page. Also, the recipes and activities that are at the end of each month serve to deepen the connection to the lore. Don't miss the Watercress soup from the House of Light Chapter for July, it's delicious! I honestly feel that years from now, I will still be discovering new treasures in this library.
Linda Carol Risso's illustrations are just the icing on a magical cake, clearly a fortuitous creative pairing.

Summary: Not what I expected.
Comment: It's kind of tricky to figure out what our ancestors really believed thanks to Christianity. This book really shows what I mean. I didn't see any of the "New agey fluff" that one reviewer wrote. I was excited to get the book only to be disappointed upon purchasing it. The cover is still one of the few things I enjoy about this book. It is honestly not pagan at all and never will.

Summary: Celtic Sprit
Comment: A wonderful book purchased for my son for Christmas. Couldn't help but read some of it myself before I wrapped it.
