Seasons of a magical life : a pagan path of living / H. Byron Ballard ; foreword by Amy Blackthorn.

Ballard, H. Byron, (author.). Blackthorn, Amy, 1981- (writer of foreword.).

Summary:
"This book looks at the agricultural year as a starting point for a deepening of Earth-centered spirituality. It gives a set of back stories to ease the reader into a time between the pre-Industrial Era and the uncertainly of the modern one, into a place where the fast-moving stress of American life can be affected by a better connection to not only the natural world but also the pageantries of the year as expressed through seasonal festivals and celebrations"-- Provided by publisher.
