From holy days to holidays, high days to hey days every month is a festival. Since time immemorial, mankind has marked and celebrated the change of the season. Although they have been altered by the passage of time, many of our traditional festivals still endure. Month by month, A Calendar of Festivals explores the fascinating details of seasonal customs - what they are and what they represent, their original meaning, where they are continued and their relevance to us today. Recipes, songs and activities for us all to enjoy are included too.

This book does contain a wealth of information, with recipes, rituals, things to do, etc. etc. But it tries to claim just about everything that anybody does in the UK has a Pagan origin and, therefore, belongs in this Calendar of Festivals. I've had it on the shelf for a long time, and I now need the space.
