Lammas: Celebrating the Fruits of the First Harvest
This volume attempts to retrieve and revivify the ancient  traditions surrounding the early fall festival of Lammas, or, as  the authors assure us it is better called, Lughnasa. While a  certain degree of whimsy, fancy, and wish-fulfillment play a  part in their teachings on divination from ashes, color  symbolism, and the like, the authors write engagingly. This book  should give pleasure and welcome advice to those interested in  pre- and extra-Christian ritual practice. For larger collections  or where interest in neo-paganism is strong.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
