In The Provenance Press Guide to the Wiccan Year, Judy Ann Nock offers you a definitive guide to "the wheel of the year." Capturing the essence of the major and lesser holidays, this complete and practical reference will appeal to Wiccans of all levels of experience. The handbook offers something for everyone: recipes, crafts, activities, spells, rituals, and meditations. In these pages, Wiccans will find several appropriate cyclic activities. Written to inspire and expand the practice as a reader moves through the eight sabbats, Nock provides the practitioner with the astrological and astronomical influences that govern the seasons, meditations that reflect timely themes, and rituals and crafts that anyone may enact in order to enhance spiritual expression.
So far I am loving this book. Lots of background history and info. Exactly what I was looking for.

I first found this book in a library and decided to use it on a project that I was, and still am, working on for Anthropology. I wasn't sure how much help it would've been, but once I started to browse through it and the information it had, I was glad that I'd checked it out. The more I looked through it, and the more it helped me on my project, the more I wanted to have it for myself. It was a shock when the version of the book I bought was so different than the one I'd checked out, but I was still happy to have it. It's very insightful in the Wiccan Year and all of the celebrations they have. I'm very happy and I came across and book like this. Anyone who has an interest in different cultures and traditions or who has an open mind should read it; if you're someone who frowns upon such things then don't read it and don't bash the people who do.

Ritual Ideas for all occasions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As the introduction to this book explains, "there are many ways to acknowledge the passage of time." The Wiccan Year presents "spiritual expressions grounded through clear intentions and repeated on auspicious days at carefuly chosen times so that we may attune with the power of the changing Earth and allow this Power to transform our lives." This book provides an orientation to some of these "chosen times" according to the cycle of the year. It gives an overview of legends and folklore associated with each season, meditation, spellwork, chants and ritual suggestions for each. It would be a helpful reference for a novice, as well a a more experienced person looking for some ideas to add to their ritual practice.
