Update on Rituals- What are good books on the subject?
I did not do Imbolc rite on Friday. Actually I understand that should be done the night before the holiday. I found a different book that has put a new perspective on ritual and has made it seem quite a bit more straightforward. Either that or I have been re-reading this stuff enough that it is sinking in. The book I found is Wiccan Beliefs and Practices by Gary Cantrell. I think this will be a good resource to help get me started. The other books might be a bit more involved- a different point of view as well.
He present the book in such a way that I think I will find it easy to write my own ritual which is really the goal. I feel that I am not adequatly honoring the God and Goddess. It’s no better than I was as a Christian who when to church on Christmas and Easter. That bothers me. I guess that is something to work on then isn’t it.
Please tell me what books you have found to be helpful. I love a good book and I am always looking or new books.

My book is Wicca The Complete Craft by: D.J. Conway. I like this book because it gives you the history of wicca, it takes you through the chapters and gives you study work. It has rituals for all the holidays. I think as a beginner this book will help me figure out if this is my correct path….
