Gives the real feeling of The Old Religion, concentrating on giving real information in a simple, straightforward manner. Starting with a background and introduction the book goes on to describe the seasons of the year and their associated festivals, Earth Magic and the elements it uses. Food has always been an important part of the major festivals and traditional recipes are included with their meanings and associations. Most books about the Old Religion concentrate on giving set rituals. This book stands out because it concentrates on encouraging readers to get the 'feel' for the elements, plants and other parts of nature and to work with them rather than subdue them.
