‘The Hearth Witch's Year’ is filled with spells, recipes, crafts, step-by-step instructions for bringing enchantment and joy into your life. The author provides hands-on tips for sabbats, solstices, saints' days, in depth breakdown with meanings of certain days of each month, and more than 100 other auspicious dates which she guides readers month to month on how to connect with the earth's natural energies and manifest their deepest desires.

Though there were sections that did in fact drag, it was still an interesting read filled with history, myths, ancient traditions and of course unique celebrations that may have been forgotten with time. It’s a comprehensive guide for all practitioners and everyone can take something away from this even if they don’t dabble with wicca, witchcraft, or magic.

Was looking for information about the actual handfasting part - where the couple binds their hands together, but there was little info on that. Some, but not as much as I hoped. Still, I read through it and got some good ideas. I don't plan on jumping over a broom, but there are some nice suggestions here and there.

I really enjoy this deck/book, and it has great layouts and meditation/visualization exercises, but lately I have not been enjoying it as much. I think that sometimes you are in a certain mind set and need one deck and at other times you need another deck.

I think I need to come back to this one a little later. The book is very comprehensive as to meanings, but I need to put my own meaning into them as well, and the book makes it hard to do. Though if you just read the descriptions of the cards and the stories behind the fairies depicting (and not the divinatory meanings, and maybe even skip the meditations), you can bring your own definitions into focus.… (more)
