About the author
Temperance Alden is described as a folk witch and is the author of Year of the Witch: Connecting with Nature's Seasons Through Intuitive Magick (Weiser Books) and the companion Year of the Witch 2027 Weekly Planner Calendar: Seasonal Intuitive Magick (Amber Lotus Publishing, 2026). The original book guides readers to build a personal magical practice around observed cycles, seasonal change, celestial events, and the reader's own biological rhythms, rather than around a fixed calendar of correspondences. The planner extends that approach into a usable weekly format, adding new spells and rituals organized by season. Both titles, catalogued under witchcraft-wicca, are addressed to solitary practitioners of nature-based witchcraft who want to structure their practice around direct observation of their environment, treating intuitive, place-based observation as the foundation of magical practice rather than inherited or prescriptive ritual forms.
