Summary: Great read, wonderful detailed information.
Comments: Another great work by Ellen!! This is1of the installments of Llewellyn's sabbat series, not all of which are maked equal. However, this installment by Dugan is a jewel. She supplies many ways to celebrate the holiday and season with your family. Great recipes and simple rituals let you honor the Equinox in a simple effective way. I always look forward to fall, and all the cozy days ahead and lovely Autumn weather. This book helps you make the almost all of those times. |

Summary: Get the whole series.
Comments: Each Llewellen book has a cool introduction about the history of the holiday. I endorse all the sabbat books in this series - - they have a lot more information than in any individual sabbat book. Also great is Mabon: Celebrating the Autumn Equinox - these are2different book & both have new information. |

Summary: As the leaves change...
Comments: Wow!! Another absolute WOW!! Ellen Dugan had done it again. If you are a fan of this witty and wonderfully charming author, "Autumn Equinox: The Enchantment of Mabon" is a must have for your Craft collection. Inofrmation, ideas, spells, recipes, traditions...it's all in this easy,accessible, 208 page package.
As a practicing Wiccan for 7 years, I thought that I had always had a handle on the Sabbats. You know...cast a cirlce there, whip out the athame here, say your stuff and move right along, right? Sure...for a beginner. I have always wanted to move on to the history, the ideas and the knowledge behind these absolutley fascinating holidays. What better way to learn than from1of Llewellyn's hottest up-and-coming authors with my favorite Wiccan holiday of the year?
As always, Mrs. Dugan breaks it down clear and simple, beginning with her own personal stories of this bewitching time of the season, continuing with the mythological backbones to autumn through the tales of Persephone, Demeter,Elen, Pomona, Dionysus, the Green Man and Herene the Hunter. However, Ellen only does this after humoursly deciphering the meaning of the word "maize" (you have to read and find out for yourself now, will not you?). And just what else would this Garden Witch include as a chapter in her book? You guessed it!! A chapter completley dedicated to "The Garden in Autumn: Fall Flower and Foliage Fascinations"--with an included Cold Hardiness Zone Map to easily pick out whether an Oakleaf Hydrangea or a Sweet Autumn Clematis would be better to plant in your backyard.
All I have to say is that with spell after spell, charm after charm, tid-bit after tid-bit, you come to wonder how the Autumn Equinox became known as the "forgotten sabbat" as Mrs. Dugan dutifully points out. I mean this season deals out the almost all recognizable changes of any other Sabbat. Just look at the leaves in your own neighborhood!! If you want to come and fully experience such a wonderful holiday and time of year, I strongly suggest for you to pick up this fabulous book, get readin' and prepare to experience Mabon in a whole new "changed" way. |
