A chapter of the grimoire

The Wheel

The eight seasonal festivals, from Samhain to Mabon, kept simply and with the northern year.

Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Midsummer, Lammas and Mabon: eight pauses spaced around the year, at the solstices, the equinoxes and the points in between. Here you’ll find their stories, their honest history, and small ways to mark each one at home, with dates for the northern hemisphere.
