This book contains blessings and rituals pulled from a variety of cultures and organized seasonally. If you know what smudging is and you aren't put off by vision boards this book will likely go over well with you. I was hoping for a greater diversity of rituals myself and was let down when there was nothing for the major life phases (celebrating my daughter becoming a young adult, teen, adult, etc.). I believe this was an artifact of the book's layout and believe that this won't stop most of the book's target audience from enjoying it.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s beautifully written and I loved the layout with blessings and rituals for every month based against a theme for the month. It has some lovely ideas and suggestions in it and I can’t wait to start working through it.

Finding meaning and special moments in our lives is so important and can be difficult. This book gives you special things you can do each month to help honor the importance of self-love and appreciation each month.
I love the bright watercolor decorations of this book; they give it a very light and airy feel and make it something that I want to read and look at. This book isn't seeking to teach about religion or spirituality, but as to serve as a tool with which you can add meaning to your life and appreciate the passage of time. I love that nothing listed is long or difficult and that each small ritual and/or blessing is approachable and easy to follow.

I really enjoyed the way this book was presented with the rituals as well as the watercolor pictures. Athena’s rituals felt very lovely to clean and clear my space. These rituals are easy to follow and you don’t need much to be able to do them. I am looking forward to trying the others in the upcoming months

I will also be trying the July rituals shortly. Thank you for this lovely little book.

Anyone that has ever watched a Ritual, Ceremony or Meditation given by Athena Perrakis on YouTube knows how gifted she is with putting the most magickal words together. I have often watched and thought "how is she so good at finding the most effective things to say?". Because of this, I jumped at the chance to get an advanced copy of The Book of Blessings and Rituals for my review. She does not disappoint! I love the layout presented in months, making it easy for the reader to jump into this book at the appropriate season. I adore the extra areas she adds in such as medicine bags, alters and incense/perfume for creative projects.. I am immersed in July right now and find her offerings fantastic! The real gems in this book are the blessing and invocations provided, written in the most poetic verse. I do think that this is a book that will be revisited time and time again. Many thanks to Quarto/Fair WInds Press and Netgalley for this ARC (all opinions expressed in this review are authentically mine) .

This is a very informative and easy to read book and is great for beginners or those who need a refresher. The book has a nice flow to it. Each chapter focuses on a month of the year and the rituals, blessings, intentions and prayers that are good for that time of year. The author clearly explains what each month month means and stands for as well as provides clear instructions on the rituals and blessings. There are beautiful pictures throughout the book as well.. Thank you to Negalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

A very good book. I like how it's organized and the project featured.
It's a good read for beginners and advanced user.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

This is a beautifully illustrated guide to rituals that can be performed based on the time of year or life situations. It's broken day by calendar month with an index that makes things easy to find. The writing is positive and straightforward. Each ritual/blessing is explained and for projects, there's a nice list of what you'll need to have. This would be a great book to have on hand for when one needs some spiritual support or guidance.

A beautifully presented and well laid out guide, calendar or planner as I think it could be usd for your blessings. It’s set out into easy to follow month by month sections. It’s written in plain English, easy to us and I think great for the beginner and experienced practitioner alike. A wonderful helpful book
