Samhain: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for Halloween by Llewellyn Publications, Diana Rajchel
4.0
I liked this book. The main selling point for me when I purchased it was the sizable bibliography - about 9 pages long. The first half of the book was wonderful, beautifully researched and clearly informed. The second half got into the more spiritual stuff, and, as no two pagans are alike, I really didn't connect with this part. But, that has nothing to do with it being 'bad' and more to do with it not being my cup of tea - anything based in the beliefs/works of Aleister Crowley really isn't my thing.
Overall, I really did enjoy this book as an informative piece in understanding history and practices for Samhain, and will likely purchase others in the series to further educate myself and make choices for my practice!
