Summary: Silver reaches people who are not pagans!
Comment: The halloween book has made it's way respectively into our public library... even a christian librarian reccomended the book. It's a wonderful tool to show people that witches are not evil hags... and it tells perfectly well how the holiday was twisted into haloween. I reccomend this one highly. For those who would call Silver Fluff... yes she writes on a level that is a little fluffy... but it gets people to open their minds about our faith... and it gets people to think about our customs and traditions in a positive light. Silver should be commended for all that she has done and I hope that the Goddess will keep inspiring her. As for the occult bookstore owner. Would you reccomend the farrar's to a christian parent concerned about what their children are getting into? I wouldn't. This is a perfect book to show them... it is written on a level that is comprehendable... and it also gives good recipes and family fun. -- Blessed Be!

Summary: Very Educational for New Wiccans.
Comment: As a home school mom and a relatively new wiccan (1 1/2 years), I found this book very helpful. Silver Ravenwolf did an excellent job of presenting the true history of Halloween. A work like this has long been needed to counteract the propaganda of the Church. SR covers not only Halloween but also all the modern symbols associated with the holdiay.
You may be saying, "Who needs another history book?!" Well, SR has included recipes, crafts, divination tools and spells that are Halloween specific. This adds a bit of fun to the history, not that SR's books are ever dull! These activities cover the entire Halloween season, not just one night and can involve the whole family. Plus, I have yet to find a SR book that I don't like.
All of this has been presented in a very informative but easy to read format. Even my children (pre-teens)love this book!

Summary: Great look at the feastival!
Comment: I thought this was a great book - especially for someone just learning about this like me. The writing is easy to get into (in some cases a bit too cutsy I'm afraid but I looked past that). I enjoyed the section on the history of halloween across cultures although in some ways it seemed like too much of a high level synopsis but it was an ok introduction. The section on halloween symbols was excellent since we see all these things typically at halloween (black cats, witch hats etc). There are some fun divinations which include runes. And there are of course blessings and recipes etc. I think this would be a great family book - to give kids (all of us really) a bit more meaning to the day rather than just getting a stash of candy from the neighbors. Definitely a great introduction and fun stuff to do. I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5 since I was expecting a bit more substance but its fun nonetheless.
