Pagan Portals - Sumer Is Icumen In: How to Survive (and Enjoy) the Mid-Summer Festival

by Melusine Draco

In Sumer is Icumen In we discover new and exciting ways of surviving (and enjoying) the truly pagan excesses of the Midsummer Festival. Here we can establish and instigate a new smorgasbord of traditions of our own for the purpose of celebration and observance and, in time, even though we must never lose sight of our authentic history, they may even be integrated into future pagan revels.

Reviews

Quite scattered and disorganized but still contained lots of information I hadn't yet seen elsewhere.

Very disorganized and messy. Felt like it needed a decent editor. There are better books on the solstices available.
