The Wheel of the Year: An Illustrated Guide to Nature's Rhythms

The Wheel of the Year by Jessica Roux and Fiona Cook will introduce you to the rhythms of nature and teach you to notice and celebrate each season. The spokes of the Wheel mark important milestones: the winter and summer solstices, the spring and autumn equinoxes, and the celebrations of sowing, growing, and harvesting that occur in between. Thanks to creative tasks, workshops and rituals, you will discover the beauty and peculiarities of each season - and even learn how to honor them! In each chapter you will find: - an overview of seasonal holidays and traditions of different peoples of the world - animals and plants, sounds and smells of the seasons - ideas for decorating the altar with gifts of nature - thematic tasks, rituals, games and recipes Harmoniously combining living nature with art, poetry and myths, "Wheel of the Year" reminds us of the magic of the beauty of ancient traditions and calls on us to take care of the magical world of nature. This is a new book from the author of the books "Florography" and "Ornithography". Unlike the previous books - "Florography" and "Ornithography" - the book "Wheel of the Year" is intended for children, but will also be interesting for adults.
