This is the only book devoted to Brigid's Festival of Returning Light-an ancient holiday filled with hope. Candlemas is held in early February and is filled with customs and traditions from a variety of cultures, including Irish, British, Scots, Welsh, Norwegian, Greek, Roman, and Chinese. There are tales from Medieval Ireland, delicious recipes, crafts, decorations, detailed rituals, and even magickal spells with candles you make yourself. December.
