The Wicca Book of Days
by Gerina Dunwich
Seasons of the Witch
by Gail Duff
Seasons of the Witch shows how the beliefs of Wicca can help people connect with the natural world and a sense of their spiritual heritage. The book shows how to celebrate each of the eight Wiccan festivals of the year: Samhain (Life and Death, October 31), Yule (Winter Solstice), Imbolic (New Beginnings, February 2), Ostara (Spring Equinox), Beltane (Sex and Fertility, May 1), Litha (Summer Solstice), Lammas (First Harvest, August 1), and Mabon (Autumnal Equinox). The author describes traditional rituals and offers meditations, chants, and spells that unite the theme of each festival with the contemporary world. Since the gatherings are intended to be celebrations, the author suggests creative ways to use food, wine, activities, decorations, oils, candles, and incense to create memorable, festive occasions.
A History of Engineering in Classical and Medieval Times
by Donald Routledge Hill
In this comprehensive history, Donald Hill opens a window on medieval and classical engineering. The book focuses on on Greece, Rome and medieval Western Europe, but also includes interesting information on Middle Eastern technology. Documenting over 1800 years, Donald Hill illustrates how classical and medieval engineers designed early irrigation systems, dams, bridges, clocks and how they harnessed the power of both water and wind. Working largely without a quantified, scientific basis for their designs, these early engineers studied the properties of materials and the way in which fluids and solids behaved in certain conditions. They then applied this knowledge to efficiently solve problems. This fascinating study documents over 1800 years of early engineering.
Warfare and Society in the Barbarian West 450-900
by Guy Halsall
Warfare was an integral part of early medieval life. It had a character of its own and was neither a pale shadow of Roman military practice nor an insignificant precursor to the warfare of the central middle ages. This book recovers its distinctiveness, looking at warfare in a rounded context in the British Isles and Western Europe between the end of the Roman Empire and the break-up of the Carolingian Empire. In this work, Guy Halsall relates warfare to many aspects of medieval life, economy, society and politics. He examines the raising and organization of early medieval armies and looks at the conduct of campaigns. The survey includes the equipment of warriors and the horrific experience of battle as well as an analysis of medieval fortifications and siege warfare.
William Marshal
by David Crouch
The career of William Marshall throws a vivid light on power and politics in the intense, intimate world of the royal court under Henry II, Richard I and John; and it offers a unique insight into the life, society and attitudes of the Anglo-French feudal aristocracy. This study has thus a general relevance far beyond the specific circumstances of even a career as glittering as the Marshal's own.
