I had the privilege of receiving an advance reader’s copy of The Celtic Wheel of the Year: Ancient Wisdom for Living in Harmony with the Land by Rhonda McCrimmon, graciously provided by the author and Hierophant Publishing. From the very first pages, this book felt less like something to be read and more like a journey to be experienced.
McCrimmon guides the reader around the Wheel in a way that mirrors its sacred rhythm—not only through the thoughtful layout of the book, but through her evocative storytelling. Each section is aligned with a cardinal direction and is rich with ancient wisdom, traditions, and symbolism rooted in Celtic understanding. She explores the attributes, colors, and animals associated with each direction and thoughtfully illustrates how these energies may influence or appear in our personal lives. Throughout the book, McCrimmon offers meaningful practices within each chapter, inviting the reader into self-work, reflection, and healing. These practices feel accessible and grounded, making the teachings easy to integrate into everyday life. Interwoven personal stories add depth and clarity, expanding the meaning of each section and deepening the reader’s understanding of the Wheel as a living, breathing path.
The Celtic Wheel of the Year is a beautiful blend of ancient tradition and modern practice. It presents the Wheel not simply as a seasonal framework, but as a life path—one that can be walked daily and gently woven into lived experience. One passage from the South in particular resonated deeply with me, where McCrimmon reflects on the inner voice: “Listening deeply to yourself involves recognizing your own needs and honoring them without judgement” (McCrimmon, 2026, p. 144). This message arrived at exactly the right moment for me, reinforcing the timeless relevance of the wisdom shared throughout the book. I am very much looking forward to owning a physical copy and continuing to walk the path of the Wheel with this book as a trusted companion.
