The Green Wiccan Year, by Silja. In today's environmentally conscious society, the Wiccan ideology, based on nature and the land, is more relevant than ever. Celebrate the Green Wiccan year with this illustrated guide and use its teachings to attain a greener, more eco-friendly lifestyle. Designed in the style of the Wiccan calendar and starting with the Witches' New Year, Samhain on October 31, this book covers all the main festivals, including Yule Lore, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, and finally Mabon, the harvest festival.
