Understanding myth and lore behind the moon

This book is seperated into months and from there tells important days to different cultures, goddesses associated with that month as well as spells and recipes for that month. Also gives the name of each month's full moon as well as explains the blue moon. An excellent reference book for any witch to have on hand.

A little bit of everything

If you are lookinf for in-depth spiritual, religious, magickal, or scholarly discussion of paganism and/or Wicca, this isn't the book for you. But the invaluable usefulness of this book is that it gives you a vivid, hands-on taste of the world's many spiritual traditions - from Greece, to Egypt, to Ireland, to Africa, to Japan, to China, to Middle America, etc etc. Through myths, rituals, recipies, crafts, and holidays you familiarize yourself with a diverse array of cultures. This book helps you figure out which cultures you feel most compatible with so that you could pursue them further through in-depth books. Other than that, this book brings the lunar year to life with fun activities you could do to imbue the seasons with spiritual meaning and celebrate the moon's many phases.

Right up my Kitchen Witch Alley

I love this book. It appeals to my kitchen witch nature. There is more than moon magick in this book, it is more like an almanac. Besides the information like different names for the moons, there are Correspondences (something I found truly useful), Old Sayings & Lore, Recipes, Crafts, Myths, and Rituals. A group of us just did Conway's Bast Ritual (from the April moon) and found it to be great fun! I think this book makes each Esbat seem like a celebration, more special. I found it fun, see if you don't as well.

This book is very Useful!

I thought that this book was full of really great reciepes, and other craft like ideas for any pagan or any one else interested in the history of certain dates and sachets and such for better dreams or more restful sleep or etcetra. It is a must have when your a beginning wiccan and don't know much about a certain time of year. And also great for the old timers of the religion to look up some refreshing, quick, not deep thought, oops that sabbatt seems to snuck up on me ideas.I say a great buy and well put together.

A Creative, Fun , Informational Book!

I have had Moon Magick for a few years and I always pick it up and read some of it again. It has great information on the Lunar Cycle and Moon Goddesses.The back of the book has a very useful list of several goddesses from around the world. It also has great recipes, crafts and lore for every month of the lunar year. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a fun informational book.
