Feasts of the Gods:
Celebrating Ancient Festivals in Modern Times

        This book-in-progress is shaping up to be a huge one. In my exhaustive research I have discovered a Pagan festival for almost every day of the year. Many days have more than one festival. Each month also has lunar festivals, and holidays of uncertain or changeable date. There is a lot for us to celebrate, including days when specific deities are traditionally honored.
        Simply listing or even listing and explaining festivals is not enough, I feel, so I am also including suggestions for how each one could be celebrated now. I like to make my books as useful as possible. Gods and Goddesses from many different cultures are mentioned, so I also plan to include a Glossary of Deities at the end of the book. 
        I have been researching this topic for many years. Longtime visitors of this web site will recall that holidays for some of the months have previously been posted here, but in a more rudimentary form than they will appear in Feasts of the Gods. I hadn't planned to write this book, but have gathered so much information on the topic that it seems I must write it. I will post extracts from the book here as soon as time and health permit. - Eileen Holland
