Review Summary: Fantastic
Review: I love Silver Ravenwolf's books. Especially this one. I like the recipes inside and I've been making the pumpkin bread (with a few changes) for the past 3 years. I make it around Halloween time and again during Thanksgiving. She also does a great job with giving the background and history of this magickal day.

Review Summary: The Fluffy Side of Halloween
Review: This Halloween book is ideal for neophytes of the Samhain celebration and this timely ritual.I can't recommend this book for anyone looking for a serious guide to a 'Wiccan Halloween'.The book is geared to younger readers ,who dabble in 'weekend wicca' for fun and giggles.It's a good book for mom's,who are planning a more authentic Halloween party for their grade-school kids.So,you have to take the purpose of this book for what it is intended.Yet,there are more Halloween texts around that can explain the pagan 'Holy-day' better.Because Halloween has become like Christmass, over the last one hundred years,it has really lost touch with what the 'holy-day' once stood for.The major Christian holidays are quite commercialized and materialistic thesedays.With little ,is any,focus on the spirituality of the event.Like this book's cover implies,it's a glossy Halloween book for fun.If it's your type of Halloween,then you will enjoy this book.Samhain is the Celtic New Year's Day and even the Neo-Druid's Samhain Eve has become 'demonised' thesedays.In Detroit,they have the 'Devil's Night' inferno and back East there is the soapy suburban 'Goosey-Night'.Where it usually rains the next day and the 'victim' gets a free car-wash.This book also has many great recipes.I think it's a good idea to hand-out toothbrushes or mini-tubes,instead of candy everyyear.Happy Halloween and Blest Samhain this season!

Review Summary: Fine and Fun
Review: I found the beginning of this book a little confusing with all the history and the way she bouced around. I was a little disappointed that alot of the history wasn't based on wiccan view of Halloween or Samhain. It was alot of Christian history. And the rest of the book was fun which is good but then some of it seem real childish like ghoulish tuna sandwiches and whatnot. I just wish there had been more wiccan emphasism.
