Agricultural & Seasonal Rituals
Rituals tied to harvest, sowing, cattle and the agrarian calendar.
Agricultural, Seasonal and Protection Rituals
Two smaller groups: four rituals of the agrarian year, and eight performed for the protection of home, family and work. This guide covers both, and is careful about the second, because it is the corner of the tradition where people are most easily exploited.
