Eight seasonal points, six weeks apart.

None of these require elaborate ritual — each page gives history, correspondences, a simple ritual, and a recipe sized for a busy week.

Ancestors, the thin veil and the final harvest

The longest night and the sun's return

First stirrings of spring, hearth and well

Balance, new growth and the spring equinox

Fire, flowers and the fullness of life

Midsummer, the sun at its height

The first harvest of grain and bread

Balance, gratitude and the second harvest
