All ritual is a focus. It makes you aware of the point at which you stand -- be that of a time of year, of day or night, of a moment of potential when the way forward becomes apparent or a possible future is revealed, of an instant when one cycle closing opens the next. It also makes you aware of the place where you stand, for none of the events celebrated by our rituals takes place in limbo. They happen in the real world, marking real and often intimate events of enormous consequence. And by marking these events, we allow them to mark us -- binding us to the sky, to the land, and to the sea from which they all derive. Along with sample rituals for the eightfold year and eight major rites of passage, it contains chapters on the nature of ritual and its place in our spiritual and everyday lives. There are also prayers and other workings.

Graeme K. Talboys was born in Hammersmith. He has had nine works of non-fiction published (on museum education, drama, and matters spiritual) and written more than a score of novels. The first of those (written when he was seventeen) was lost on a train. The next two (written in his early twenties) he wishes had been. Thankfully, hes had considerably more success with writing since then with short stories, poems, and many novels published. His previous jobs have included market gardener, shelf stacker, pot boy, sandwich maker, and factory floor maintenance operative (broom provided). As an adult his first job was acting, followed by teaching Drama and English. Some of his pupils still speak to him. He later worked in museums where he felt right at home among the ancient, broken objects. He now lives in Scotland.
