of Magic

Twelve-year-old Erin has always enjoyed celebrating the changing of the seasons
with her family, but as she listens to her friend Rachel explain to their class
what Christmas means to her, Erin realizes that she doesn't understand exactly
why her family celebrates the Winter Solstice.
Erin's mother suggests
that she ask Evangeline, a wise older woman who agrees to teach Erin about the
magic of the seasons. Erin promises to take her studies seriously, and she soon
finds that her joy of discovering the deeper levels of meaning embedded within
her family's beliefs and rituals is balanced by quiet contemplation and hard
work.
As Erin watches the Wheel of the Year turn, she discovers that the
changing seasons also mirror changes in her relationship with her inner self and
those around her. This heartwarming tale of one girl's magical journey will
delight readers of all ages.
Along the way you will discover lessons
about Imbolc (February 2, a time of returning light); Spring Equinox (March 20,
promises of spring); Beltaine (May 1, the sowing of seeds); Summer Solstice
(June 21, the fullness of summer); Lammas (August 2, the first harvest); Fall
Equinox (September 21, the full harvest); Samhain (October 31, the season of
ancestors); and Yule (December 21, a celebration of the darkness of winter).
Seasons of Magic also includes a journal with questions to help you
further explore the seasonal festivals and design your own
celebrations.
In the following excerpt, Erin discovers the magic of
Mother Nature:
"Good morning, Erin. Another good picking, I
see."
"Yes, it is," Erin said, setting down two cereal bowls, each filled to
the brim with berries. "I keep expecting the berries to run out, but every day
there are more, almost as though they're magic bushes."
Evangeline's eyes
twinkled as she replied. "They are magic, Erin. Natural earth magic, that is,"
she said, laughing from deep down in her belly. Erin was always amazed at that
laugh that was so big yet came from a woman so small.
"What do you mean,
earth magic?" Erin asked, settling down into a chair, eager for one of
Evangeline's lessons. . .
