About The Book - The Ancient Ways
Tales of gods and goddesses told around a crackling fire. The light of the rising sun streaming through an ancient site on a solstice morning. Hot cider poured over the roots of apple trees to wake them for the spring...
Discover the wonders of the natural world with The Ancient Ways, a seasonal guide from hedgewitch and content creator Seren Hawley-Plows, using myths, folklore and old rituals to help you reconnect with nature.
The Ancient Ways is an empowering guide to reconnecting with the natural world in order to live a happier and more purposeful life. This stunning book will deepen your connection with nature through mythology and folklore - ancient traditions based on the land and the seasons.
Hedgewitch Seren Hawley-Plows explores how, in the past, humans' lives centered around the rhythms of the natural world and how this can help you lead a more connected and fulfilled life.
The Ancient Ways is structured around the seasons and pagan festivals, exploring the history of equinoxes and how they are celebrated, how to rewild yourself through knowledge of plants and nature and how to benefit from these ancient traditions in a modern world.
Whether you live in the countryside or a bustling city, The Ancient Ways provides a slice of calm, belonging and connection - the perfect gift for yourself or others.
