Midsummer: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for Litha (Llewellyn's Sabbat Essentials, 3)

For someone who is new to the craft I have found this to be a useful book about the Summer equinox. It’s an over-sized paperback, 5 x 7 inches with 240 written pages.I found it to be a very useful reference book. First of all they give you the background on the different sabbats. You are given the old ways and new ways of celebrating which I found interesting and enlightening. My favorite chapters were the Spells and Divinations, Recipes and Crafts. Both chapters gave me a lot to work on and do. I also found the Prayers and Invocation chapter useful. Newbies need help in figuring out what to say or at least I do.There was also a list of rituals, of other helpful books and interesting facts about the sabbat.I have found that the Llewellyn books are very useful and plan on getting the rest of the books in this series.

This is a fantastic set of books. In one volume, you get history, rituals, spells, recipes, and more! This is essentially an almanac with a history of the celebration of each of the sabbats. I love perusing them for ideas of herbs, flowers, or customs that are seasonal for my area. I've been trying to live more in tune with nature because I found that as I get older, my body is not liking so many of the chemically-infused trappings of modern life in a big city. I'm becoming allergic to more and more synthetic things (maybe always was but my physical health was better in my youth?) and books like the sabbats are an easy way to incorporate natural things into your life. You don't have to be into Wicca to enjoy these at all. Give them a try!

I started following the path a few months ago and found the book for Yule first. I love how the book splits things up for you.If you are new to the path I recommend buying all these wonderful books about the wheel of the year celebrations. It will give you a great starting point on your journey.It tells you the history of the day. Different recipes to make and for children arts and crafts. It's a great read and a must for learning the path.

I'm enjoying the whole series, and Deborah has done a wonderful job of showing me new ways to celebrate the Litha (Midsummer) holiday. I'm going to enjoy making the crafts and bringing the symbolism into the foods that I will be serving. I've been a practicing Witch for almost 30 years, but it's always fun learning new lore about the Sabbats.

As a baby Witch dipping their toes into the water this is a great guide to understand the sabbath better.

This book, like the others in the series are a must read for anyone practicing. They give a lot of knowledge on both history and current, but they give you many many different options so you can choose which one works best for you

Another handy volume in this series (an introduction to various aspects of the four Quarters and Crossquarters that many Pagan celebrate).As in the other books in the series, this is a relatively light introduction to various traditions and possibilities for celebrating or honoring the Summer Solstice, with something of the history, a handy appendix of correspondences, and ideas for recipes and crafts, rituals, prayers and meditations, and magical workings.The lore seems to be pretty solid, and naturally some of the practices suggested strike me as more appropriate than others- but it's all about picking and choosing to make it meaningful for yourself and the people who might celebrate with you.This one seemed to me to be somewhat less Wiccan than some of the others, if that matters.

Really love the small size of this book and the details in it. Cute illustrations too and good historical information!

Full of detailed information: recipes, spells, historical info, fun antidotes, a great read over and over. This sabbat series from Llewellyn is wonderful!

Good book for those who are pagans and want to lear more about Litha. Very happy with it.
