Title: Once more, the ball is dropped...
Review: This is actually a very nice book for the beginning Reconstructionist Hellene: It details some of what is known of the major festivals, but it falls back upon a wearying, disheartening tendency found in the neo-Pagan movement. What is this tendency? It's the "oh, crap -- researching how this stuff was ACTUALLY done is difficult" realization, followed by pages of cookbook-style "ritual" almost wholly created in the mind of the author (as opposed to the ways our ancestors would have done the rituals) and presented to the reader as though the reader had just lately learned how to read. Disappointed, again!
Is the review positive or negative?
