Description
"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.

"A consistent voice of wisdom and support for the Pagan path, Marla Brooks has offered us another gift. Magick for All Seasons is a new take on classic concepts and will be invaluable to witches now and in the future. "-Courtney Weber, author of Hekate: Goddess of Witches
"There have been several Wheel of the Year guidebooks in the last several years, each one different from the last, each one bringing us into a deeper connection to the world around and within us. Marla Brooks's Magick for All Seasons allows us to glimpse a world both glorious and simple-one that takes us by the hand and walks with the reader through the beauty of these natural and ancient celebrations. I especially loved the dedication to her great-grandma Sophie. A terrific addition to your personal library."
-H. Byron Ballard, author of Seasons of a Magical Life and A Feral Church

This is the kind of book I devoured growing up. It is sure to add spice to anyone's practice."

From seasonal lore to magical correspondences, each chapter introduces the themes and symbols of the Wheel of the Year. This book is packed with hands-on activities; you'll find spells, rituals, divination, recipes, and so much more. I look forward to returning to this book again and again for inspiration in my own seasonal magick."

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.
