Author: N. Starcat Shields
Publication Date: December 2012
ISBN: 9781780995540
Reviewer knowledge before reading: novice / enthusiast / expert

 


This is a fascinating look at the 10 year span of a Pagan Witch's life in Main, USA. Originally a column about her life as a Pagan, where N. Starcat Shields wrote about her life as a solitary witch, these have now been collated as a series of essays on Pagan Living.

Starcraft gathers her thoughts into the Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year and so we see her life and learning shift and change as she shares her thoughts, feelings and practice with us beginning with Samahin and moving as the wheel,turns through Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas and ending at Mabon.

An interesting and insightful read for all Pagans, witches or not, and one I would definitely recommend.
