Lammas is a harvest festival that celebrates the first grain harvest of the year. Pagans give thanks for the bountiful crops and the abundance of nature. It is a time for baking bread and making corn dollies, which are traditional crafts associated with the holiday. Lammas is also seen as a time to reflect on the sacrifice of the earth, as the crops are harvested and consumed. In addition to Litha and Lammas, there are numerous other pagan holidays and celebrations that occur during the summer months. Midsummer, for example, is a pagan festival that celebrates the midpoint of summer and is often marked by rituals and festivities. Beltane, another well-known pagan holiday, takes place on May 1st and marks the beginning of summer. It is a time to celebrate fertility, new life, and the awakening of the earth.

Pagan summer holidays are rich in symbolism, tradition, and spirituality, reminding practitioners of the interconnectedness between humans and the natural world..
Reviews for "Dancing with the Faeries: Summer Pagan Festivals and Folklore"
1. John - 2 stars
I was extremely disappointed with "Summer Pagan Holidays". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters were uninteresting and lacked depth. It felt like the author was trying too hard to be unique and ended up creating a convoluted mess. Additionally, the writing style was choppy and the dialogue felt forced. Overall, the book did not live up to my expectations and I would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I really did not enjoy "Summer Pagan Holidays". The plot was slow and uneventful, leaving me bored and uninvested in the story. The characters were flat and one-dimensional, making it difficult to connect with any of them. The writing style was also lackluster, with repetitive descriptions and cliché phrases. I found myself skimming through the pages, hoping for something exciting to happen, but unfortunately, that never occurred. I won't be reading anything else from this author in the future.
3. Mike - 2 stars
I found "Summer Pagan Holidays" to be a lackluster read. The pacing was all over the place, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. The author's attempts at humor fell flat, and the dialogue felt rigid and unnatural. I also found the romance aspect of the book to be forced and tacked on, adding unnecessary fluff to an already weak plot. While the concept of the book had potential, it ultimately fell short in execution. I would not recommend this book to others.
