Description

Celebrate the changing seasons and your connection with the natural world with a book honoring the mystical underpinnings of the cycles that make up the pagan Wheel of the Year!

From Samhain and Yule to Ostara and Mabon, there are eight pagan festivals that make up the year, known in witchy culture as Sabbats. With detailed information about the history of each holiday and a corresponding ritual to help families celebrate the magic of the seasons, this book is a perfect introduction to the pagan calendar for the mini mystic in your life.

Critic Reviews

"Through a descriptive narrative and a host of colorful children of diverse multicultural backgrounds, the book details the eight holidays on the Wheel of the Year. Van De Car demonstrates ways to unite families and communities during the holidays without an overemphasis on commercialization and consumerism, but instead concentrating on ways to connect with nature's regenerative gifts of renewal and harvest. Kita's beautifully illustrated scenery depicts activities and observances connected to each holiday...an introductory resource to expand knowledge about holidays and seasons celebrated around the world."--School Library Journal
