Dunwich serves her community better when she sticks to Wicca.
Unfortunately, she often lapses into discussions of “old Celtic ways” in this book. Worse yet, what she labels as “old Celtic” is often neither very old nor particularly Celtic.
Julius Caesar and The Wicker Man are not accurate portrayals of the Celts, who actually lived in more than just France and the British Isles!!!
The rituals are cute, but the factual information is often demonstrably NOT fact.
So, take it with a huge grain of salt, or not, as you will.

This is a wonderful book for the season of Halloween and any other Fall endeavor for the enterprising witch. It is well written and extremely informative. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the Halloween tradition. It dispells the common stereotype of the green skinned, wart nosed, pointed hat wearing, broom riding, cauldron stirring crone.
Blessed be.

This is an excellent Halloween time book.Now,if you read this witch book ,let’s say on the Fourth of July,you may not be as grateful reading it then.She has an extensive bibliography,yet no annotations to support her research.Gerina Dunwich’s writing is still a joy to read,anytime.There’s a lot of historical folklore covered.I would recommend reading it in the Autumn quatre.This book is a magickal tribute to the ‘Season of the Witch’.

This book is very informative about superstitions, symbols, and meanings of Halloween (Samhain). It does not take the reader to great depths about Paganism or Wicca, but it is not meant to. A very good read to brush up on Halloween lore.
