Year of Moons, Season of Trees: Mysteries & Rites of Celtic Tree Magic / Pattalee Glass-Koentop. 1st edition. Llewellyn's World Magic Series. St. Paul, MN: Llewellyn Publications, 1991
About
"Many people are drawn to Wicca, or the Craft, but do not have teachers, covens or like-minded people around to show them how the religion is practiced. Year of Moons, Season of Trees serves as that teacher and as a sourcebook for material and background, providing a full Book of Shadoes for the isolated Pagan or Wiccan."--Page 4 of cover
