The eight Wiccan festivals mark the turning of the seasons. The nature-based beliefs of Wicca connect with the natural world and the sense of spiritual heritage. In this book the core beliefs of Wicca and the significance of the festivals are examined. What do the festivals mark and how do they relate to traditional spiritual beliefs and to our lives today The way in which the festivals are celebrated through rituals, affirmations, spells, songs and chants is also looked at. The book also features information on how to create oils, candles, incense, food and wine for the celebrations and rituals for both the lone practitioner as well as for groups.
