""Decked out in color photos and including helpful templates for some of the crafts, this book is a beautiful year-round resource."" —BookPage recommendation guide ""Henderson's hope is to inspire us to delve deeper into what makes the Wheel of the Year meaningful to us. Not as a form of busywork, but a way to engage in specific activities that tap into the energy of each holiday. This is not about how to change a bouquet of flowers every six weeks, so much as how to consider changing what we eat, contemplate, and engage in throughout the cycle of the year. Each craft is a kind of moving meditation. I enjoyed many of the recipes and the few decorative crafts I made. I'm looking forward to working with this book all through the coming year. Did I mention that this is a beautiful book? Pictures abound, and there is color everywhere. Highly recommended!"" —Lisa McSherry for Facing North.com
