An Excellent Guide to the Pagan Calendar
This little book is a fabulous guide to the Pagan Wheel. It brings together the important days of many different Pagan traditions, alongside a few somewhat obscure historical days.
It's full of facts and is fun to read.
It's a good starting place for those who are new to Paganism, and also for those who wish to learn more about other traditions.

A Treasury of Information and Knowledge
Nigel Pennick has produced a stunning little calendar filled with facts, annecdotes, and information useful to all. Extensively researched, cunningly illustrated, the Pagan Book of Days is bound to delight Pagans, scholars, the curious, and the general reader equally. A slim volume, it provokes thought by merely presenting a few simple facts. The curious will go on, the knowledgeable will smile in recognition, and the others will have gained a bit of lore they previously didn't have. (Did you know the grotto at Lourdes was a pagan shrine before the miracle of the "Blessed Mother's" appearance?) A splendid book at a low cost.

A Must-Have for Pagans!!
I simply loved this book, and all the knowledge that came with it! The book is divided into months, with an introductory passage on the meanings and Pagan lores of each month. Then each day of the month is discussed for its significance. This book is loaded with interesting references from Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Celtic, and Norse religions, and gives an all-around picture of each that I haven't found in other texts. A wonderful read!
