1. John - 2/5
I found "Wiccan Holidays and Traditions" to be quite disappointing. The author spends a lot of time discussing the history and origins of Wicca, which I found interesting at first. However, as the book progresses, it becomes clear that there is very little information about actual Wiccan holidays and traditions. Instead, the author goes off on tangents and discusses unrelated topics. I was hoping for a comprehensive guide to Wiccan celebrations, but unfortunately, this book fell short.
