Llewellyn's Little Book of Halloween

I have many books on Halloween and I'm so happy to add this one to my collection. I love how easy it is to flip through and read up on the various traditions of the day, find a craft, or a recipe I might want to make. I have been enjoying sharing this with the kids. I've been looking for more pagan books that give me ideas to celebrate with the whole family and this is definitely one of them! I can't wait to try out all the yummy recipes and super fun crafts. I will definitely be pulling this book out every year to help me get into the spirit of the season!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with Llewellyn’s Little Book of Halloween by Mickie Mueller, but decided to check it out to get into the holiday spirit. Something I particularly enjoyed was the focus on Halloween itself in its modern form and how Mickie incorporates that back into a witch’s Samhain practice. She invokes the fun of our modern secularized Halloween that we grew up with back into the sacred period of the Pagan Samhain, including the spooky and sometimes scary aspects of the celebration that are sometimes swept under the rug in modern Samhain practices. She writes that “Witches know that fully experiencing our emotions can give us power and increase our magic. In this way, fear can be a powerful tool.” The book opens by going over the history and evolution of Halloween and I learned a few things about it myself that I didn’t know. There are over 33 exercises and 11 tips throughout the pages. While the book covers things you’d expect to see in a book written about Samhain from a witch such as spells and divination practices, folklore and customs, it also includes a lot of clever celebration, decoration ideas, and recipes. The divination practices range from tea leaf readings to ouija boards to hosting seances. Mickie has an entertaining writing style and I found the book an endearing quick read which definitely got me into the Halloween/Samhain spirit.

Great info on Halloween history, crafts and ideas.

I love tiny books like this. Very well made, gorgeous page decor throughout. It goes through everything from funny little modern games/foods for kiddos through historic information, older rituals/games/foods and some spells, etc. It's just a little bit of everything. Fun for an old timer, good info for a newbie.

I love this little book! Adorable, well researched and a fun read. Lots of wonderful ideas on decorations, activities and other ways to celebrate Halloween while also being mindful and acknowledging its rich and deep historical significance.

This makes a cute little coffee table book for Halloween.

It is a cute little book about having a Halloween for the standard stay at home soccer mom. Nothing really creepy/informative in here if you have a Pintrest page or two already.

I love this book! Halloween is my favorite time of year, and Mickie Mueller included all kinds of information, presented in a totally fun book that reads like a good conversation with a great friend! This is one that I will enjoy for years to come! There was new information in it, and great ideas for this holiday season!!!

Normalmente non amo alla follia i prodotti Llewelyn (per vari motivi che non sto a descrivere qui), ma devo ammettere che ogni tanto un buon prodotto esce fuori. Nonostante sia un libricino con poche pretese, alcuni aspetti mi hanno colpita: parecchie info storiche, altre tradizionali americane che noi - ovviamente - non possiamo sapere, le esperienze di prima mano dell'autrice, molte usanze antiche ancora vive in Gran Bretagna o negli Usa e molti spunti su cui riflettere. Insomma, a parte alcuni capitoli con idee già viste e ricette che un italiano non metterebbe mai in tavola, non è poi così male.

Lovely book and fun to read.

Loved it, for such a little book it has a lot in it, from history and facts to ideas, cooking, party planning ideas, it feels like an essential for October, one I'll get out every year.

Such a cute little Halloween book to read during October. It has so much info and teaches you a lot about the holiday and those surrounding it. It’s really fun to read and has lots of tips and trick and recipes in it. A Halloween must.

I came across this little book when looking for something else and I'm so pleased I did, what a find! A great little book full of info and ideas, a must have for all wiccans and Halloween nuts, I definitely recommend this book!
