Rating:  Summary: Terrible! Review: I found this book to be terrible! I couldn't even make it all the way through it rambled on so badly. I really can't understand how so many other people gave it good reviews. The problem lies in the fact that this book only pertains to one sort of tradition. I was looking more for a book with general information about the Sabbats, not the specific rites of one denomination of Wicca. If you are looking for good, basic information on the Sabbats, then this book is not for you. The only person I could possibly recommend this book to is someone who is very familiar with the authors, and follows the same tradition that they do; as it is very in depth in that sense. It outlines their rituals for each Sabbat, but does not really give any information about any of the Sabbats themselves.
Rating:  Summary: not bad... Review: Not the end all and be all that some would have you think it, this book is still probably worth your time. Partner it With Hutton's Triumph of the Moon, though, and where they conflict, go with Hutton.
Rating:  Summary: A Classic Wiccan Work Review: This book was one of the earliest books on the Wiccan religion. It is full of great historical details and excellent explanations of the Sabbaths. I admire the Farrar's lineage tradition and am glad that it has been recorded for all time as an important part of Wiccan history. My copy was published in 1985 and still maintains its proud place on my bookshelf. Don't look for a quick fix spellbook here. This is about the myth of the God and Goddess and their 'dance' through the Wheel of the Year seasonal holy days. A very special book. Highly recommended!
