"This book is a wealth of resources for creating a meaningful spiritual path without dogma and without a prescribed set of beliefs and structures. From a foundation of science and critical thinking combined with creativity, Mark A. Green has provided support for creating practices and rituals that reconnect us to the natural world, to each other, and to our inner wisdom. This is real magic—rekindling the awe and wonder of being alive."

"I felt a bit overwhelmed trying to decide how I want to celebrate holidays and what I want to do as a personal practice. Not only have I really enjoyed implementing some of the suggestions in this book, but reading it also sparked some of my own ideas that are now scribbled in the margins. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning some new ways to celebrate the phases of the year or about ritual in general. I feel filled with energy to go out and celebrate this amazing place we call home and how I experience it."

"Mark A. Green takes us by the hand and leads us on a journey. Along the way we learn to create science-based practices for improving our well-being, living in greater harmony with nature, and building a connected, authentic life. Accessible, well-organized, and useful, this book is both a road map and a companion, encouraging us to make the path our own."

"This book is a fundamental primer for building a solid practice in ritual. It brings what seems to be pure magic down to earth allowing everyone to crack open the many aspects of a ritual life. It gives us the opportunity to include others with common values through ritual. All the little details are explained so there can be a good understanding of building ritual and activities for different occasions. I want to hug the book and keep it close."
