Once Upon a Beltane Eve

This pleasant story is the kind that takes me away into another world, where one is just completely captivated by the characters and the story (what any good work of fiction will do!) I found great pleasure in the love between the two main characters. It was very inspiring to experience so much love, via Julian and Fiona. It seemed so real that I found myself wondering if this was in some ways the author's own story. The Pagan elements, the Wiccan holidays, ways to celebrate and mark major life events: marriage (handfasting) birth, death, ceremonial visitations from the dead (a "Dumb Supper") and more, are all here. This is much more than a great way to teach non-Pagans about the lovely holidays of Wicca. This is a great love story. Highly recommended.

This is what I've been looking for to explain to my non wiccan friends what it is I believe. What better way than a story that incorporates the sabbats and other rituals into everyday life? Thank you, Selene. I'll be looking for more of your books.

This book is an excellent primer for Wiccans just starting on the path who want more than a non-fiction how-to book. It's also good for non-Pagans curious about the Wiccan religion and way of life. I found it to be a great addition to my collection Wiccan books.

Weaving an enchanting story, the writer leads you through the life of two young adults. Through their joys and sorrows, you experience their life almost first hand. I cried and laughed thoughout the book. Being Pagan, it touched me on a very spiritual level. I recommend this book highly to both Pagans and non-Pagans alike, for it will also touch you on a "life" level. It is a story of life, of dreams, of hopes, of trials... of love. A MUST read!!
