Magick for All Seasons: A Grimoire for the Wheel of the Year - Paperback

by Marla Brooks (Author), Lorriane Anderson (Foreword by)

"Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie's witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder."
--Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works

Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages.

Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life's lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats.

"The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way."
--from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson

Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.

Author Biography

Marla Brooks is the creator of The Witch's Oracle deck and has been the host of Stirring the Cauldron on the Para X Radio Network for the past fourteen years. She grew up knowing that there was more to this world than the naked eye could see and found the notion of ghosts and other things that go bump in the night rather fascinating. Of course, you might expect that from a witch. Marla didn't just decide one day that she wanted to be a witch. It's just part of who she is. Her great-grandmother Sophie was a witch, and these things often get passed down in the bloodline from generation to generation.

Before publicly coming out of the "broom closet," she worked as a freelance entertainment writer for various national publications, mainly doing celebrity interviews, and is the author of several books in both the metaphysical and mainstream genres, including the Ghosts of Hollywood series, Workplace Spells, and Animal Spells and Magick; two fiction books, A Bad Case of the Collywobbles and Soul Connection: A Deadly Obsession; as well as two cookbooks. She lives in Southern California.
