The Pagan Book of Halloween : A Complete Guide to the Magick, Incantations, Recipes, Spells and Lore Book

For Pagans and witches, Halloween, or Samhain, is the most important and sacred holiday—a day to honor the dead and to celebrate the birth of a new year. The number of Wicca practitioners is rapidly growing—especially among young women—and popular media has embraced Paganism on television, in movies, and on the internet. This book guides Wiccans, Pagans, and curious non-Wiccans alike in incorporating some of the original meanings and rituals into their Halloween festivities. It explains the rich Pagan/Irish roots of the holiday and includes ancient legends, divinations for telling the future, spells for finding a mate, and potions for gaining knowledge—not to mention detailed instructions for performing the traditional Halloween ritual and delicious Halloween recipes! Written by a woman who has devoted her life to educating the public about the Old Religion, this handbook reveals the uplifting spiritual energy that people can experience by celebrating a traditional Pagan Halloween.
