Creating Circles and Ceremonies: Pagan Rituals for All Seasons and Reasons (Including Rituals for the Wheel of the Year, Handfastings, Blessings, and Consecrations)

This is a GREAT book!!! It has so much information in it and I just love how it has illustrations throughout it! It also gives many takes on how to cast a circle and have ceremony as well as chants, songs & movements! It covers invoking & evoking, summoning, warding, blessing and more! Plus Sabbats and ways to celebrate! For about $14, this book is SOOO worth it!! I would even pay $40 for a book like this!

This is written very much either the Grey School format.It covers all the basics of ceremony and ritual creation with examples. It is meant to empower the reader to be able to create their own rituals.

Wow what an awesome book. I always knew Circles could be more moving. This book will take your Circles and Ceremonies to a new high. On page 25 is a ritual in sonnet. It is so beautiful and moving. If boredom has entered your magic I highly recommend this book. I also highly recommend Wizard and Witch by Oberon and Morning Glory Zell. Both books will enrich your life. Create your own beautiful and moving Circles and make your Ceremonies and Rituals tingle with excitement and electricity. Thank you to Oberon and Morning Glory for sharing this fantastic book.

I couldn't put this book down when it arrived. It goes into such a wide array of topics and gives history and explains the reasons for so many of the thing I did evey day. It gives you the information, then allows the reader to choose their own path. It is going to be a well used reference for life. I only wish that there was more room on the edge of the printed text to allow me to put notes in the margins. I loved it so much I got the ebook so it would akways be with be.

This is the consensus version for the ceremonial worship of the Wiccan religion. Copyright of this compilation is 2006. This collection is basically a textbook for the Home Tradition of The Church Of All Worlds. It also includes bits and pieces from other Traditions of the Neo-Pagan Movement. Peppered in the text are historical revelations important to the present Wiccan Establishment. There is vast ritual information here. Two mystery plays I truly enjoyed are: In Search Of The Lady and Quest Through The Shadows. Read them in the Wheel Of The Year.

Haven't finished reading all of this reference guide but have used other people's copies for a couple of years and wanted my own copy.Oberon was in Australia a couple of years ago for the 21st CAW pagan Summer Festival, and I had the opportunity to hear him speak on several topics. Love his and Morning-Glory's work....she is sorely missed.

This is a collection of the writings of Oberon Zell-Ravenheart and the people associated with him. So while the book is attributed to Oberon it is really a collective work.While the title says "Creating Circles and Ceremonies" it really doesn't tell you how to do this. It teaches by example, and consists of many wonderful rituals and ceremonies that help fuel your own creativity. It is a republication of three volumes he has published in the past, and the various authors have had a chance to freshen up their work prior to it being republished here.I've enjoyed the other works published by Oberon and this volume is an excellent collection of ideas and usable rituals that would be a worthy addition to any pagans library.

Great resource if you're into Wiccan culture. Wish it was more comprehensive and included other cultural traditions. Otherwise, if you can get past the way these rituals and circles relate to Wiccan tradition, then it's not a bad book to have around for inspiration.

Excellent

Klasse Information zum Erstellen kultischer Feiern und Rituale - schön zusammengefaßt mit ansprechenden Beispielen aus praxisorientierter Sicht geschrieben - ideale Ergänzung zu Grimoire of the Apprentice Wizard vom gleichen Autor

What a warm welcoming book,most books simply tell you things not this one it feels and reads itsWritten for you with love,each page is a delight.

There are only 3 pages on funerals/memorial services, which is quite unfortunate.There are many collected songs, chants and invocations which will make for a useful reference.
