🌿🕯️ Book Spotlight: Beltane by Laura Garcia

This week at Starfall & Soil, I’m delighted to spotlight a fresh voice entering the Wheel of the Year space: Beltane: A Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating the Spring Festival of May Day (Wheel of the Year Series) by Laura Garcia.

If you follow the path of seasonal magic, nature rituals, or simply want to deepen your connection to the turning of the year, this guide offers beautiful grounding and gentle expansion.

From the first pages, Laura invites you into the flame of Beltane: that liminal moment when spring bursts toward summer, when the earth hums with growing light, fertility, celebration, and renewal. The dedication felt honest and resonant — the right air for what follows.

I loved how the chapters are built: history and myth rooted in Celtic tradition, ritual ideas, journal prompts, and a wonderful bonus shadow-work workbook for women (via email subscription) — taking this guide beyond “just read” into a full “do & become” practice.

As someone who honors the Wheel of the Year in hearth-life and homeschooling, this book validated many inner stirrings I’ve held and gave them clearer shape. It’s magnetic, alive in your hands, and pulses with a healing frequency that invites celebration, introspection, and transformation.

If I had one small wish, it would be for a touch more inclusivity in the shadow-work section — while the focus on feminine energy is beautiful, Beltane’s fire welcomes all who seek renewal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. Because when a book meets you in the right moment… it devours you right back.
