Ghoulies & ghosties & long-legged beasties -- this is what most people think Halloween is about. And, while monsters & being frightened are all part of it, most forget the rich traditions that lie behind this special, spooky day. This book describes all the popular Halloween legends, & then puts them in the ancient context from which they came, starting with the Celtic origins of Halloween & the spirits of Samhain. Packed with practical projects, rituals, games, & recipes, the book shows you how to bring the spirit of Halloween into your life. The final section discusses the power of earth, air, fire, & water; traditional divination; & spells & charms. Full-color illustrations. Beautifully designed.
