Celebrate the power and majesty of the sun with The Solstice Yearbook.

The sun powers all life on earth and as we travel through a year its strength grows and diminishes, creating our seasons and impacting our moods and energies. The Solstice Yearbook shows us how to understand and follow the cycles of the sun in order to align our own bodies and minds with nature’s rhythm.

Drawing on ancient traditions, folklore, and rituals this seasonal guidebook is packed with ideas for celebrating the Solar year, from midnight Solstice rituals to Midwinter fires and Equinox rebalancing tips.
