Rites Of Passage by Christine Hall

Books about rites of passage are thin on the ground so this one is like a fresh shower of rain in the desert, and especially because it addresses the whole spectrum from birth to death and everything in between.

'In our so-called civilised society, the points at which we move from one major stage of our lives to another are often pitifully ignored.. The traditional birth, death and marriage gatherings often seem shallow and inadequate, unable to convey the personal feelings towards or about the individuals concerned.  Many people would like to create their own magical celebrations, but are unsure how to.  Here, in easy to understand language and with many practical tips included, are a wealth of simple rites and celebrations including birth, puberty and marriage through to death.'

A truly useable book, with chapters on what you would expect - the birth of a child, growing up, handfasting and passing over, but also home blessing, new business blessing, divorce, croning and more - those other moments of transition that loom large in life and thrive on a rite of passage.
