A Year of Pagan Prayer: A Sourcebook of Poems, Hymns, and Invocations from Four Thousand Years of Pagan History

While I read a lot of books, there are not many that I add to my collection, but this is one that has a spot on my shelf. This is much more than just a year of blessings and readings for Pagan holidays, it addresses so many other areas of Pagan life that we sometimes don’t think about until they are upon us. I will be giving this book to my coven members for our Yule celebration this year. I think we will all find something that speaks to use in here. Well done!

This is is more than a book of prayers. It’s historical background, poetry, desscription, and so much more. I read it as an introduction to the various pagan deities and myths of Europe and the Mediterranean and was impressed by the breadth of the author’s knowledge and the quality of the material. A must read for anyone interested in ancient Western myth or the various mythological references of 19th and 20th century Western lit.
