The Wheel of the Year

The Wheel of the Year is a calendar that marks eight key festivals rooted in ancient agricultural and solar cycles. These festivals—such as solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days—celebrate seasonal changes and natural rhythms. Celebrants often observe them through rituals, rituals, and communal gatherings to honor the earth’s cycles, reconnect with nature, and reflect on personal growth. The Wheel emphasizes the ongoing flow of seasons and the interconnectedness of life, providing a spiritual framework for aligning human activities with the natural world. It is commonly observed in modern pagan and Wiccan traditions as a spiritual calendar.
