Mabon: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for the Autumn Equinox by Llewellyn Publications, Diana Rajchel

3.0

Yes, much of the stuff in this book is fairly standard Mabon material. But I thought the author's focus on community—not just the Pagan community, but the reader's local community—was uncommon and a valuable perspective. Even more uncommon (and valuable!) was her acknowledgement in the chapter on prayers and invocations that sometimes we just can't manage to feel grateful even when it's the season of gratitude. As she says, no one prayer can meet every need, but her "Invocation to the Dark Night of the Soul" is a good start for admitting to unpopular feelings. [3.5 stars]
