- Sarah - 1 star
I found "Easy pagan holidays for newcomers" to be extremely lacking in depth and substance. The book failed to provide any meaningful explanations or historical context for the pagan holidays it claims to cover. Instead, it felt like a rushed overview that barely scratched the surface of these traditions. I was hoping to gain a deeper understanding of pagan holidays, but this book left me disappointed and wanting more. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive exploration of pagan traditions.
