Nine Royal Passions of the Year illustrates, in Tarot card-like icons, the Nine Festivals of the Feraferian Sacred Year, which are derived from the ancient Celtic Tree Calendar reconstructed by poet laureate Robert Graves in his classic The White Goddess. Frederick Adams renders and describes each festival icon in beautiful artwork and poetic prose, rendered in his own calligraphy in the manner of William Blake. Nine Royal Passions is an illustrated guidebook to recreating and enjoying the Feraferian experience. Feraferia - which means celebration of nature - was America's first, and still the most elegant, expression of Goddess-oriented, Neo-Pagan religion.
