Myth and Magic Through the Seasons
As the tide of technological advance sweeps us on, many of us seek to reclaim simpler, more instinctual ways, to retrieve a sense of wonder and to feel part of the natural world, rather than exploiting it. The eight seasonal festivals of the Wheel of the Year were born from a deep respect for Nature and her powers.
Focusing on the customs and mythology surrounding the festivals, the authors explore the ways in which these themes can expand our consciousness and revitalise our imagination. Crafts and activities for every season are suggested, to help the reader capture the spirit of each festival.
Read this book to find out why we kiss under mistletoe, why hawthorn is considered unlucky or why Hallowe'en is such an eerie time. If you would like to rediscover the magic of the earth or free the wild spirit within, there is much here to inspire you.
