What is the color of Winter? Some think of the season as gray and dark and brooding. But look around and you will see a wide spectrum of colors: reds, and yellows, purple and green, copper and silver.

Wintertime is not a season of death and dormancy, but a season of rest and regeneration. So lift up your spirits, look around you, and be filled with the joy of the season.

Rejuvenate your soul with the warmth of hearth and family. Take to the hills with a full heart and a grateful head. May your Winter journey be filled with warmth.

Explore winter through the eyes of Photographer and writer, Michael Axel. Let Axel show you what he has seen for decades of Winters. Together with a rich sense of his Celtic heritage, Winter's Chant is richly designed with over 38 plates of powerful photographs, and as many ancient chants, prayers, blessings, and traditions from many cultures.

This book will warm your heart, point out all the joy of a Wintertime in nature, and change the way you view your surroundings.

“Tis a lifeless soul that does not take a full journey through Winter.”
