This book takes the readers on a very well researched tour of holidays, festivals and customs that pertain to hearth and home. Month by month, and day by day, Franklin explores the history and cultural relevance of all manner of celebrations. The combination of recipes, crafts, rituals and spells makes this a handy reference for any level of practice. The dedication to research really shines in this book. In addition to the guidance on having a spiritual year, the history of how customs came to be, and how they have been altered or incorporated into modern religious practice, was fascinating. That so many cultures across the northern hemisphere developed (or absorbed for popularity) similar traditions based on the behavior of nature never ceases to amaze. For those looking to have a centered 2021, this book is a fantastic guide.
