Tune yourself into the natural rhythms

This is an excellent book for people who want to get closer to the natural world. It systematically (but charmingly) goes through each of the seasons, listing legends and traditions, suitable oils and incense, activities to do alone or with your family, crafts and foods, and meditations for the season.One of the nice features is that in the front it lists the seasons/festivals for the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres as beautifully drawn wheels. (Most similar books list only dates for the North, and others have to guess.)

The meaning of each moment in the cycle

This slim book covers all of the 8 festivals celebrated in the pagan tradition. The cycle of the seasons, the cycle of nature. There are things to make, meditations to focus on, poems, recipes and much more. Key words for each season help you focus in on the feel and meaning of each moment in the wheel of the year. I have enjoyed it and it will be put to good use with my other books which are much like it, Circle Round and A Calendar of Festivals by Marian Green
