Ancient Ways: Reclaiming the Pagan Tradition
Ancient Ways: Reclaiming the Pagan Tradition
Paperback – Illustrated, Oct. 18 2014
by Pauline Campanelli (Author), Dan Campanelli (Author)
Pauline and Dan Campanelli's classic companion to Wheel of the Year is back for a new generation of readers to enjoy
Celebrate the seasons of the year according to the ancient Pagan traditions. Ancient Ways shows how to prepare for and conduct the Sabbat rites, and helps you harness the magickal energy for weeks afterward. The wealth of seasonal rituals and charms within are drawn from ancient sources but are easily performed with readily available materials.
Learn how to look into your previous lives at Yule. At Beltane, discover the places where you are most likely to see faeries. Make special jewelry to wear for your Lammas celebrations. For the special animals in your life, paint a charm of protection at Midsummer.
Most Pagans feel that the Sabbat rituals are all too brief and wish for the magick to continue. Ancient Ways can help you reclaim your own traditions and heighten the feeling of magick all year long.
