An illustrated collection of stories and activities to celebrate
traditional Pagan festivals and the changing of the seasons *
Shares original stories, based on traditional folktales and
designed to be read out loud, for each festival, such as Samhain,
Yule, Imbolc, Beltaine, Lughnasad, the solstices, and the equinoxes
* Includes traditional games, hands-on projects special to each
holiday, and seasonal recipes to enjoy the tastes and smells of
each feast day * Discusses the sacred symbolism, magical lore, and
cultural practices within each story and the healing and magical
uses for the trees and flowers featured Once upon a time, when only
candles lit the inside of homes and people traveled on foot or by
horse, the family would finish their supper, wash and dry the
dishes, and sit down before the hearth to hear a tale. These tales
were not only entertaining but also passed down both history and
tradition to the next generation. And as the wheel of the year
turned, these tales also served to teach the children about holy
days and festivals and the Gods and Goddesses who reigned over the
changing seasons. In this beautifully illustrated book, Ellen Evert
Hopman shares rich stories drawn from traditional folktales,
hands-on crafts, and seasonal recipes to help families and
classrooms learn about and celebrate traditional holy days and
festivals of the sacred earth year. Designed to be read out loud,
the stories are complemented with pronunciation guides and
translations for foreign words. You will learn of the Cailleach,
the ancient Goddess of Winter; La Befana, the Italian new year's
witch; Eostre, the Goddess of Spring; Kupalnocka, the Polish feast
of wreaths at midsummer; Yule among the Vikings; and many other
deities and celebrations. For each story, the author includes
hands-on projects special to the holiday--from crafting magical
wands and brooms to flower crowns and Brighid's Crosses--as well as
seasonal recipes, such as Magical Peppermint Chocolate Tea,
Beltaine Bannock, and La Befana Cake, allowing families to enjoy
the tastes, smells, and sounds associated with the feast days and
celebrations.
