About the author

Willow's major in college was Art, and while at SFSU to get a teaching credential she was hired by EGW Publishing as a graphic artist. When an assistant editor position opened up, she was pretty much hired on the spot. From there, she helped develop new titles, became a department editor, and eventually a managing editor.

After the birth of her son, she went freelance and successfully sold five non-fiction books to Citadel, a Kensington Publishing imprint, as well as multiple magazine articles to various publications.

Willow's first love, however, was always fantasy novels. Non-fiction, while a perfectly valid market, wasn't entirely satisfying to write about. Then she read Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury, and figured there was no reason that she couldn't write fiction books, tell stories that readers would enjoy, and have a lot of fun in the process. Turns out that's a pretty good combination.

I love this book! It is an awesome, modern, kitchen witchy take on the Sabbats. This book starts each chapter with a fairly brief discussion on each sabbat, it forgoes the Wicca 101 info, or the more scholarly stuff and goes right into traditions and activities you can do alone or with the family. There are many craft ideas,some of which have not been presented before in other sabbat books,and many that are good for adults and kids alike, as well as recipes and even cross stitch patterns. The instructions are pretty good, through and simply written, my only wish is more pics as I am very visual. This book is very fun and will get you excited for each sabbat and for getting your witchy crafting on.

This is a nice little book very Martha. It has some great food ideas, but it was just a little to modern for me.

Interesting activities, crafts and recipes for the various Sabbats. Seems primarily geared towards those with children.
