This book took me a long time to read, obviously when you look at the start and finish date, but I don’t think it’s the kind of book meant to be read and finished in a day of a week or even a month. The book is set up to follow the year, and to read through the year slowly and thoughtfully, and even to work through some of the rituals is to gather and learn some much from this book. This book was a treat. It reteaches the meaning of the word “hag” and invites you to find the divinity therein.

Really enjoyed this, the Audible version is almost like spoken word poetry. A really beautiful series of reflections and stories. I'll probably end up buying a hard copy as well.

A bloated mess of pretty but shallow words.

I loved this book intensely. I listened to the audio book but will 100% be purchasing a print copy. The season of salted bones and Bawdy Betty were especially *chef's kiss*.

I’m really enjoying the overall arc that Dulsky seems to be taking with these books. I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but Woman Most Wild was a very basic, introductory, here’s an outline of my beliefs type of journey; The Holy Wild was dug much more deeply into the specific archetypes of our fierce women ancestors, as well as broke down the elements; and Seasons of Moon and Flame is looking at actual practice, physical witchcraft and ritual. Dulsky is a badass, so that probably is intentional, but I really, really respect that arc a lot, walking us through the journey from newborn interest to actual practice over the course of several books. Seasons was no exception to my undying love for Dulsky’s work, either. This was truly a fantastic book, and I wish that I could have convinced myself to read it over the year, taking each season when it came. I’ll be coming back to the practices and rituals in this a lot as the year carries on, bringing them to my own coven, and watching my practice flourish under Dulsky’s careful tutelage.
