A Complete Year of British Folk Magic Seasonal Rituals, Protection Craft & Ancestral Living for the Modern Worldby Marcus J Wells This is not a book of fantasy magic.It is the craft as it was lived in homes, at thresholds, by the hearth, and across the turning of the year. For centuries, British folk magic was not dramatic or theatrical. It was practical, protective, and woven into daily life. It belonged to ordinary people managing illness, uncertainty, land, and family using what worked. This book returns to that tradition. Inside You Will Find: A complete 12-month system of seasonal practice rooted in the British landscapeProtection workings drawn from English cunning craft and Welsh traditionHousehold and hearth-based rituals you can actually maintainAncestral practices grounded in respect, boundaries, and clarityProsperity and stability workings focused on real life, not wishful thinkingA structured approach that builds consistency, not intensity What Makes This Different Most modern books focus on belief, aesthetics, or performance. This one does not.

A COMPLETE YEAR OF BRITISH FOLK MAGIC
Seasonal Rituals, Protection Craft & Ancestral Living for the Modern World
In many British homes, folk magic was never called magic at all.
It was a horseshoe above a doorway, a rowan cross tied with red thread. Salt was placed quietly by a threshold. Herbs gathered in season and hung by the hearth. Small acts repeated throughout the year bring protection, good fortune, and peace to the household.
For generations, these customs formed part of everyday life.
A Complete Year of British Folk Magic invites you to step back into that living tradition.
Rooted in the seasonal rhythms of Britain and inspired by the practices of cunning folk, household traditions, and rural customs, this book offers a complete year of practical workings that can be woven naturally into modern life.
Rather than focusing on complex ceremonies or expensive tools, the emphasis is on simple actions carried out consistently and with purpose. The result is a practice that grows stronger over time and becomes part of the fabric of daily living.
Inside you will discover:
• A complete twelve-month journey through the British folk year
• Seasonal rituals inspired by traditional customs and countryside lore
• Practical protection work for the home, family, and personal well-being
• Hearth-based practices that bring meaning to everyday routines
• Prosperity and stability work rooted in traditional folk wisdom
• Grounded ancestral practices approached with respect and healthy boundaries
• Guidance for building a lasting practice that remains realistic and sustainable
This is not a book about dramatic displays or complicated ceremonial systems.
It is a book about tending the threshold.
Lighting the candle.
Marking the turning seasons.
Remembering the wisdom of the land.
Returning to practices that have helped ordinary people navigate uncertainty, hardship, celebration, and change for centuries.
Whether you are entirely new to folk magic or looking to deepen an existing practice, this book provides a clear and structured path through the year.
By following the seasons and returning to simple, meaningful acts, you will create something far more valuable than a collection of rituals.
You will create a living practice of your own.
If you are seeking a grounded approach to British folk magic that honours tradition while fitting comfortably into modern life, your journey begins here.
