Step into an ancient world of rituals and folklore in this stunning seasonal guide.
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.
Told through the pagan wheel of the year, The Ancient Ways explores how nature changes throughout the seasons, looking at solstices, equinoxes, legends, and festivals and how these stories and traditions can help you deepen your connection with nature. Discover megalithic sacred sites where crowds still gather to see the sun rise and fall through doorways of the past. Meet Eostre, goddess of the spring and dawn or the Cailleach, queen of winter and the Green Man, a personification of the wild. Celebrate festivals like Beltane, a summer celebration of fire and fertility or Samhain, the festival of the dead and precursor to modern Halloween.
Hedgewitch Seren Hawley-Plows weaves these myths and stories together beautifully with tools and inspiration of how to bring the power of ancient tradition into a modern world and help you find magic in the wilds of nature.
With stunning illustrations, seasonal recipes and more, whether you live in a sleepy village or a bustling city, The Ancient Ways takes you on a journey of untamed landscapes, old communities and connection - the perfect gift for yourself or others.
Seren Hawley-Plows is a second generation new-age traveller who was raised as a hedgewitch, with a deep connection and love for the natural world. She was taught herbalism and ancient practices from an early age by her parents and their community, and spent much of her youth travelling around festivals, full moon gatherings, and attending ceremonies at sacred sites.
Her interest in nature and humankinds’ ancestral connection to the natural world developed as she grew older, and she began to retell tales, myths, forgotten knowledge and ancient practices as short informative videos on Instagram (@hedgerow_healing). She is now on a mission to reconnect people with the natural world, by demonstrating how using ancient practices and discovering forgotten knowledge can be beneficial on a journey to re-establishing our relationship to the land. Seren lives in Wales and is the author of The Ancient Ways.
