Publisher's Synopsis
This immensely easy to use Sourcebook is designed for everyone who wishes to know about, take part in or celebrate the changing seasons of the year. The four fixed points of the year are made up of the summer and winter solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes. These are crossed by what were known as the four great fire festivals of the seasonal peaks and have been celebrated since Celtic times. SACRED CELEBRATIONS explains the underlying energy of these seasonal peaks, the way they were celebrated in the past and ways we may use this energy and understanding to celebrate them in a relevant way today. Subjects include: the four directions, the five elements of the Celtic tradition, working with the moon, herbs, trees, song, dance, inner journeys, meditation, creative activities to enhance and connect to the moment, understanding earth energies and sacred landscape.
