Celebrating the Southern Seasons - Rituals for Aotearoa

Tandem Press, 1995. Wear to extremities, some foxing.

Subtitled 'Rituals for Aotearoa', the book gives information about customs, symbols and stories relating to seasonal change from Maori and European perspectives. It examines the meeting of the two dominant cultures of Aotearoa, and provides an overview of seasonal celebrations. Each seasonal section examines the heritage from Maori, pagan and Christian European traditions and offers suggestions for developing and structuring rituals.
