Invite the sabbats into your home the natural way and create a vibrant wheel of the year tradition with this book of crafts, activities, and recipes. For each sabbat, Raechel Henderson features sections on low-cost activities, inspiration for your seasonal altar, journal prompts, food ideas, decoration suggestions, and more. With Raechel's eco-friendly emphasis on found and foraged materials, you will learn to make a twig wreath for Samhain, naturally dyed banners for Ostara, and twine flowers for Beltane. Explore activities like drawing a milk bath for Imbolc, leaving offerings for the faeries on Litha, and conducting a gratitude ritual for Mabon. With so many sustainable ways to enjoy seasonal themes and lessons, each turn of the wheel can grant you a new perspective and an opportunity to reclaim your life.
"Decked out in color photos and including helpful templates for some of the crafts, this book is a beautiful year-round resource."
—BookPage recommendation guide
"Henderson's hope is to inspire us to delve deeper into what makes the Wheel of the Year meaningful to us. Not as a form of busywork, but a way to engage in specific activities that tap into the energy of each holiday. This is not about how to change a bouquet of flowers every six weeks, so much as how to consider changing what we eat, contemplate, and engage in throughout the cycle of the year. Each craft is a kind of moving meditation. I enjoyed many of the recipes and the few decorative crafts I made. I'm looking forward to working with this book all through the coming year. Did I mention that this is a beautiful book? Pictures abound, and there is color everywhere. Highly recommended!"
