- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5While I like the focus on a single sabbat, the research in this book (and the series in general) is pretty bad. This book has a strong bias towards the new age brand of Wicca and I have to admit getting pretty bored when I was listening to nothing more than a recipe for sangria. Fun of celebration ideas but generally not very good.
