The Wheel of the Year - by Rebecca Beattie (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Nurture yourself through the turning seasons with the Wheel of the Year: an enchanting celebration of eight restorative moments in nature's cycle - from solstices and equinoxes to those midpoints in-between.

Let Rebecca Beattie - Wiccan priestess and nature lover - take you on a magical journey around the Wheel of the Year, from Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Samhain to the Spring Equinox, Midsummer, Autumn Equinox and Yule.

Rooted in an appreciation of the rhythms of the seasons, every six weeks the Wheel of the Year allows us a moment to pause and still the chaos of modern life. This book is alive with what is happening in the ebb and flow of the natural world, helping us to connect with its rejuvenating power and offering rituals to celebrate each seasonal festival, its enchanting folklore and traditions.

The Wheel of the Year will connect you to the turning of your personal seasons too, enabling you to chart your own moments of transition, reflection and healing alongside the changes in the outside world. Get to know your true inner self and rediscover wisdom and wonder as you start to live in step with nature.
