Beltane: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for May Day by Melanie Marquis

4.0

Spring 2018:

I love, love, love discovering this new set of Wheel of the Year books exist. I'm going to be picking these up one at a time, per holiday, as the year goes on and adding them all to my collection.

I was incredibly quite pleased the whole first third of the book is broken up into Old Ways and New. I love that the Old Ways section is, indeed, delved research into the references of spiritual practices for any people or rites related to this holy day through centuries. I love the clarity of some things not having an answer, or us still not being certain.

The invocation page was fun, as well, though I do wish there were some more crafts and recipes than those listed.
