ReviewsFinalist for the Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for Best Wiccan/Pagan Book "In her first book-length work, Sabin presents a first-rate, fresh, and thorough addition to the burgeoning field of earth-based spiritual practice volumes...written in a light, informative style that magically mines depth, breadth and brevity."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Highly recommended for all public libraries."--Library Journal "Practicality and common sense are the keys to Ms. Sabin's approach...Her presentation is fair and balanced showing both sides of issues such as eclectic versus traditional (easy to do as she has stood on both sides); public versus private (ditto); and solitary versus group (again, ditto). This book is one that I am proud to recommend to the new seekers out there.Overall, this is an excellent book; one of the best in recent memory."--Mike Gleason
