Wheel of the Year

The Wheel of the Year is a cycle of eight seasonal festivals celebrated primarily in modern Pagan and Wiccan traditions. These festivals mark key points in the changing seasons, including solstices, equinoxes, and the midpoints between them. They reflect agricultural and solar events, such as Samhain (October) and Beltane (May), helping practitioners connect with nature's rhythms and the cycles of life, death, and renewal. The Wheel emphasizes harmony with the environment, personal growth, and spiritual reflection through rituals and ceremonies aligned with these seasonal markers.
