In the second instalment of the Two White Feathers trilogy, Jenny Chapman returns with a deeper and more grounded understanding of the path she began in Book One. If the first journey was about awakening, Enchanted Beings explores what it means to live that awareness within the rhythms of the natural world.

Structured around the pagan Wheel of the Year — Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh and Mabon — Jenny meets eight contemporary practitioners whose lives are devoted to these ancient seasonal thresholds. Bards, witches, shamans, smiths and seers speak candidly about their work: healing prisoners through horses, forging tools with intention, communing with sacred trees, and aligning their lives with the turning of the seasons.

Through interviews and reflection, a worldview emerges that is both ancient and contemporary — a spirituality grounded not in belief alone, but in disciplined practice, responsibility, and relationship with the land.

As the Wheel turns, so too does Jenny’s understanding of her own journey. The book culminates in her personal passage through the eight festivals, discovering how these ancient markers illuminate the texture of everyday life.

Insightful, grounded and quietly powerful, Enchanted Beings offers a rare window into living pagan traditions and the enduring human search for meaning within nature’s cycles.

Within the Embodied Coherence Project, this stage explores how individuals often turn to cultural and spiritual frameworks to interpret and organise their experiences of adversity and transformation.
