What I love about this book, aside from the great ideas, is that the author has made herself available to the readers by her writing style. It is well thought out, and a great addition to anyone’s collection of books on Wicca. If you’re in a circle, thinking of starting one, or simply curious about what a ritual gathering is like, I recommend this book.
Kudos!

I read many online reviews of this book, and the few I found that did not like it seemed to be nit-picking (should full moons be before new moons? Difference between initiation and dedication? c’mon.) These matter when you belong to a specific coven belief system. The author, Deborah Blake, states that she doesn’t and is ecclectic, which is why I like this book. She doesn’t tell you what is right, but rather gives you ideas on how to combine what is comfortable to you and a more organized ritual. I really love the freedom this offers me, a former solitary that is now part of a fledgling group. This book has already given us confidence in how we celebrate the Goddess, and I see us continuing to utilize Ms. Blake’s book far into our group’s future. Thank You Deborah Blake!

Very helpful for those of us who circle with a group or want to do so, this approachable book gave me a year’s worth of moon circle ideas. I’d recommend it both to beginners and to advanced practitioners who want some fresh ideas. Her bubbly, approachable style is a plus as well.

I have not much to say about this book it is just excellent! Fun, informative, full of ideas that can be used from both a solitary and a coven. If you are looking for something to get you inspired about Esbats go ahead purchase it. You won’t regret it!!

I am currently using this book for writing rituals for solitary practice. I really like that Deborah Blake uses common everyday language in her rituals. It is a complete guide as it lists steps to remember in doing a ritual (which makes your life easier because she reminds you of things instead of getting to a point and thinking ” oh no! I forgot….”) It has rituals for esbats and sabbats to use as is or to alter to your tastes. AND she throws in a good deal of useful information which just helps you to be a better witch or Wiccan (or both). If my path leads me to a coven/group, then I have a really good book for that too!
