I bought this book as part of having a series of books on the different Sabbats. And like many Llewellyn books, there seems to always be a 101 feel to the books.
For this book and the rest in the Sabbat series, that’s great. This book is a great introduction to this Sabbat, its history and customs.
The recipes look good. I’ve only tried one of them and that was the egg nog recipe and I found for the Blender, use half the ingredients/ammounts listed.
I only had one real problem and concern with the book and that was McCoy talking about using Blood Symbols and making “blood” for use in rituals. Not enough detail is given as to why you’d use them, how to use it and the cautions on being careful when using “blood” in magic.
Otherwise the rest of the book seemed to do well being tailored to a new person wanting a starting off place to learn about the Sabbats.

Very informative history of spring celebrations. Detailed suggestions for enjoying and giving thanks to this amazing time of year. A great way to broaden one’s respect towards the magic of springtime. We all look forward to that first crocus. This book provides inspiration to really wake up after winter.

I loved this little volume. The list of Pagan resources in the back is getting outdated, unfortunately, but otherwise it’s packed with fun, useful and inspiring facts. I especially enjoy the thorough list of spring fertility goddesses and their consorts from various cultures. I gained much wisdom about the Way of Wise Folk from this simple, yet elegant, volume. Now I just need to read the other books in this series!

This was a fun read for early spring, particularly as it was snowing outside (the week of equinox!!!)
I didn’t like it as much as some of the others in the series. I would have liked to see more crafts and more rituals.
Still, I must say…that pasta recipe is GREAT!
