Présentation de l'éditeur :
A treasury of 50 stories, spells, recipes, and other sundries from prominent pagan writers and personalities.

Call them elders, teachers, priests, or priestesses: they are the forefront of a growing movement known as neo-paganism. This renaissance in pre-Christian religions represents a wide range of belief systems, such as Wicca, neo-Druidism, and other earth-based faiths. Compiled by pagan author Patricia Telesco, CAKES AND ALE FOR THE PAGAN SOUL offers 50 hearty doses of magic, wisdom, history, and humor for modern witches and druids. Notable contributors include Margot Adler (Drawing Down the Moon), Starhawk (The Spiral Dance), Raymond Buckland (Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft), and many more. This A-to-Z compendium covers diverse topics such as community, mindfulness, children, and ritual, weaving a colorful tapestry of modern pagan views and values. You’ll be regaled with insightful stories and read tips about integrating pagan practices into the modern world through ritual and activism. Contributors also share recipes for their favorite incense blends, purposeful potions, and magical menus. So, take a seat on the communal hearth, and let CAKES AND ALE fill you with the warmth, sustenance, and inspiration every neo-pagan needs.
