I have followed this author for quite some time, and love her work.
I found this book to be very informative on the Wheel of the Year. There was tons of easy-to-understand information both for new Pagans, and seasoned Pagans. This book would be a great addition to any home library.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book. I like teh color and how each section was broken dow. The author gave me information about each season as well as way to decorate a alter, to journal or an exercise in celebrating the time. I learned a lot.

This is a great book to add to your magical library. It is broken down by Sabbats and has ideas how to decorate your altar, correspondences, there’s, moon phases, foods, colors and more. Particularly like the journal prompts as sometimes we are so into the ritual we forget to reflect inward and figure out what we feel. The other nice touch is the and spread. I really like this book is not just about ritual but delves deeper with more self reflection and what the Sabbat is about.

This is a very easy to read guide on the wheel of the year. The wheel of the year is times of the year that pay attention to things like the winner and summer solstice, the traditional version of Halloween and Christmas and the pagan traditions around these, how to make the most of them to encourage luck and prosperity throughout the year. This book is an easy to follow but very informative guide that has been extremely helpful in my understanding of the wheel of year

The Wheel of the Year

The author defines the Wheel of the Year as a collection of eight Sabbats evenly spaced throughout the year based on nature and the sun’s movement. The eight Sabbats can be broken down into four solar events and four seasonal shifts. She provides illustrations depicting how these celebrations appear on the Wheel of the Year.

She provides a list of some suggested tools. They are:
1. A Journal or book of shadows
2. Altar space(s)
3. Items from nature for each season

This is a great book for beginners, for the author outlines in great length, and with easy to understand information for each sabbath, along with recommended foods to eat for each sabbath, and rituals for each.

Beautiful book 🍂 The author also tried their best to include those in the southern hemisphere, which is quite difficult and doesn't really work out. Opposite seasons, opposite dates - I appreciated the effort though!

I love this book. It is a physically beautiful book. The author gives an introduction to each of the Sabbats on the Wheel of the year. I really enjoyed her activities for celebrating. They seemed really fresh and not like the same old you get in every book on the wheel of the year. I plan to buy a physical copy to add to my collection.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy of this book.

Much as I like e-books, I think this is a book which need to be held. It looks beautifully produced and illustrated, and the Wheel of the Year is explained well, with plenty of ideas and suggestions for correspondences, meditations and ways to celebrate throughout the year.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a straightforward guide.

Beautifully illustrated and full of helpful, enchanting tips on living your life by the seasons and the turning of the wheel of the year. This is a book to own in print! As I have reviewed an ebook copy, I can only imagine how much better this book with be with a nice paper feel. This is a book you will turn to again and again as you approach each season to help celebrate and align your life to nature.

A good introduction to the Wheel of the Year and how to work with it. The explanations are clear and there's some interesting exercises. I liked the illustrations
It's a good book for beginners and it can be appreciated as reference by more experienced readers.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Questo libretto punta a spiegare le varie festività stagionali a chi si approccia per la prima volta al mondo della magia, in particolare mi sento di dire che questo libro ha delle influenze Wiccan abbastanza evidenti, ma non è un male. Le informazioni sono quelle di base, non sono affatto scorrette nella maggior parte dei casi, ma non c'è nemmeno quel qualcosa in più che mi avrebbe fatto apprezzare il libro.
Il punto più dolente sono le illustrazioni, ripetute nel corso nel libro e talvolta incollate fra loro con un collage amatoriale.

Se volete qualcosa per iniziare, però, non è male, anzi è molto semplice e diretto

Absolutely loved this so much and it’s going to be a great help to me and my journey over the coming months and year(s) ! This covers clearly what the Wheel of the Year is and is a great book for beginners like me dipping their toes into spiritual waters, it has greats hints and tips too. I think this would also be great for the more experienced practitioners too, I loved the illustrations which really were helpful as well as beautiful. Overall I thought this was a very thoughtfully put together guide and will be a great addition to anyone’s magical bookshelf

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review via Netgalley.

A nice, concise explanation of what the Wheel of the Year is, the Sabbats and an easy to understand history of each one, ideas for celebrating each Sabbat, and a few rituals with correspondences associated with each Sabbat.

Great for beginners and experienced practitioners of Witchcraft or Wicca, easy to follow with colorful artwork to help illustrate the ideas Uhl thoughtfully put together throughout this quick, magical read.

I adore Cassie Uhl - I say it every time!!
I have read almost every book Cassie Uhl has released (i think!) and I just adore them!
I have to say, I think this book is my absolute favourite.

I love the way her books are laid out and illustrated. They are perfect to read in one go, or to dip in and out of for reference.

This book has so much information and I love all the sections within each chapter - I particularly love the journal prompts that you can do for each moot!
I was lucky enough to be given an early electronic copy in exchange for an honest review, and I have immediately preordered the hard copy when the book is released next month!!!
I urge anyone who is interested in Magick to have this book in their collection!
