A Pagan Testament

Looks like it might be a good reference book



"Pagans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. Yet there are many written works which also constitute its testament. Some of them are thousands of years old, such as the Descent of Ishtar, and the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Others are more recent, such as the Charge of the Goddess.

A Pagan Testament collects these original works together, along with the poetry and prose that inspired the founders of the modern Pagan movement. It also includes the largest collection of circle songs and wisdom teachings ever publised. These form the Pagan equivalent of the Biblical Psalms and Provebrs. They were collected by the author in a survey of Pagan folklore, from almost 2,000 people in twelve countries around the world. They show that Paganism is continually expanding and developing. Finally, the book includes an original and valuable philosophical commentary and interpretation."

The Wheel or the Year - Samhain

Samhain is the beginning of the New Year (and winter) in many rural areas of Europe. To Witches and Pagans it is one of the great Cross Quarter Days of the eight Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year. To the ancient Celtic peoples the actual time of transition, from sundown on Samhain to sundown the following day, is a "thin place" - a place "between-the-worlds" where deep insights could pass more easily to those who are open to them.  In addition to inspiration, through the portals could also pass beings of wisdom, fun, and perhaps some danger requiring cauton on the part of mortals when confronting them. 

Here are various links to information on this important Sabbat.
