Review Two
Review Summary
Excellent booklet for ideas and inspiration
Comments
If you are looking for a simple overview of how to create ceremony, of
how to celebrate aspects of life such as births, handfastings and rites
of passage, this is an excellent little source book. It is not a thorough
examination of the meaning and subtleties of ceremony, nor does it describe
in detail the rituals which celebrate the turning wheel of the year, but
it is beautifully presented and well worth the purchase price.
