Samhain: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for Halloween by Llewellyn Publications, Diana Rajchel

4.0

This was the first book I read from the new Llewellyn Sabbat Essentials series. With a few repetitions throughout the book, it was still an interesting read. Unfortunately I always find the activities in these kind of books not so easily doable here in Germany as they probably would be in the US. But I did enjoy the more serious or solemn approach to celebrate Samhain. I especially liked the ritual idea for couples and might try that if my partner agrees to it (not Pagan, but agnostic). I am looking forward to the next few books in the series already ordered since those are my favorite sabbats. The history part in the beginning was especially fascinating and I hope this will continue throughout the series. I also like the Prayers section although I did not care much for the ones in this particular book. A quick read to get you in the mood for the sabbat and a good inspiration for things you can do.
