The Wheel of the Year
The eight festivals of the year, from Samhain and Yule to Beltane and Lughnasadh, kept by people of many paths. Their history and dates, the crystals that suit each season, a crystal grid for every festival and simple ways to mark each turning of the year at home.
Moon dates, gates and timings are written for the year shown on each guide. Earlier guides stay here for reference.
