Join Witches' Rebecca Beattie, Beverley Wass and Laura Derbyshire for a talk and a moment to celebrate the coming Winter Solstice

The Season of Frost and Fire

Winter is often seen as a season for retreat. But what if the cold months could hold their own magic?

In The Season of Frost and Fire, green witch Rebecca Beattie shares thirteen luminous rituals to guide us through the darkest days - from fire rituals that welcome in the winter and banish fears on stormy nights to comforting ceremonies that honour our desire for transformation. Discover the tarot cards that will light your path from the first frost to the thaw of early spring. Meet the forgotten goddesses who will become your companions and guides in the shadows. Hear bewitching tales of shapeshifting beings and thin veils between mist-covered worlds. Even in winter's quiet, Beattie reveals the warmth, wisdom and renewal alive beneath the surface of things. Bring back the light this winter - with The Season of Frost and Fire
