This review originally appeared on The Magical Buffet website on 03/24/2020.
Did you read my review of “A Practical Guide to Pagan Priesthood”? Because today’s book would be a perfect companion to it! I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of “Witch’s Wheel of the Year: Rituals for Circles, Solitaires, and Covens” by Jason Mankey, and it is a worthy read.
I don’t want to say that “Witch’s Wheel of the Year” is THE book to get if you observe Pagan holidays, but “Witch’s Wheel of the Year” IS the book to get if you observe Pagan holidays. Mankey covers Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltaine, Midsummer, Lammas, Mabon, and Samhain. Each holiday includes a ritual that is appropriate for large event gatherings, intimate family covens, and solitary practitioners. All the rituals take care to focus on inclusivity. Regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, you will find a place in Mankey’s work. The author also offers advice from his experiences, and gives you a look at how he makes these rituals his own.
I realize this is a short review, but honestly, there isn’t a lot to say. If you want to learn about and observe Pagan holidays, Mankey’s “Witch’s Wheel of the Year” is the perfect book for you.

If you are looking for information on the 8 spokes on the wheel of the year, and what to do with them, this book is an excellent resource. Plenty of facts, resources, and rituals to get you up to speed. This book is definitely Wicca heavy, but not in a way that I think detracts from the valuable resource that it is.

Overview of the most common yearly rituals. I loved the way rituals were created for different groups. As a solitary practitioner this book felt less helpful but would be good to come back to when planning circles. The language is very lord/lady and priest/priestess based but I liked some of the rituals planned.

Read this just in time for Lughnasadh. Got and will get to harvest a lot of ideas from it. It's not perfect (what book is) but I like the three variations for every sabbat, providing enough inspiration to mix and match to make your own version and if that is the book's main purpose, it does live up to that.

August 15, 2023I really wanted to like this book, I've enjoyed Jason's writing style in other books but could not connect to this one because it focuses only on the northern hemisphere, that's half the world's witches that celebrate the wheel of the year at different dates left out.

Jason is a fraud who supports abusive cults.
