Further Reading

For more information on the Sabbats and Esbats; Moon phases, dates and times, and zodiac information I recommend the following books.  Each book is linked to Amazon.com (on my 'Further Reading' page) where you can read write-ups, customer comments and there's purchasing info there too. It's a great place to find out what a book is about before you buy.  Some of these titles are also available for purchase on the Books page at Avalon Moon, Inc. with free shipping available in the USA.
