Description
Craft in harmony with the changing seasons; create 17 stunning projects designed to connect you with the natural world and aid your magical practice.
Crafting the Wheel of the Year invites you to discover a range of crafts, including knitting, crochet, and macramé, as you work with natural materials like pinecones, flowers, and twigs.
The turning of the seasons, known as the Wheel of the Year, is rich in history and forms an integral part of various modern-day magical practices. Structured seasonally to guide you through the year, this inspiring book will ground and calm you as you get creative, and is suitable for crafters of all abilities. Renowned author and podcaster Deb Bowen introduces each of the 8 seasons with warmth, clarity, and insight, while each of the 17 projects has been lovingly created by best-selling craft author Claire Gelder.
Enjoy a range of 17 inspiring projects with all the necessary techniques clearly described. Revel in the warmth and joy of summer with a glorious flower crown for Beltane; decorate your table with cute and cuddly knitted pumpkins for Samhain (autumn); create festive cheer with a rowan berry garland for Yule (winter); and welcome the coming spring with a macramé hanging jar glowing with dried flowers.
The book encourages natural crafts inspired by the world around you, featuring projects that incorporate natural items, from a smudge stick made from rosemary and dried rose petals, a Brigid's cross woven from reeds, to a wand crafted from fallen or beach-combed wood.
Included with each holiday are corresponding crystals and essential oils: the crystals provide insight into the mineral kingdom, while the essential oils elicit fragrances that beckon you to fond memories and awaken your senses.
Enjoy a fascinating introduction to each of the 8 seasons, along with historical insights into the traditions and rituals that shape our world today.
Connect to the natural world around you, and craft consciously and sustainably in harmony with the changing seasons with Crafting the Wheel of the Year.
