Wheel of the Year: Encyclopedia - Wheel of the Year

In some types of Neopaganism, particularly those influenced by Wicca, the Wheel of the Year is celebrated as the natural cycle of the seasons, commemorated by the eight Sabbats. Because one tenet of Neopaganism is that all of nature is cyclical, the passing of time is also seen as a cycle, a wheel which turns and turns. The course of birth, life, decline, and death that we see in our human lives is echoed in the seasons. The eight Sabbats are re ...

Wheel of the Year: Encyclopedia II - Wheel of the Year - Antiquity of the Wheel The four cross-quarter festivals (often called 'fire festivals') of Imbolc, Beltaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain are historically authentic and well attested in mediaeval Ireland; they probably derive from the first century Coligny Calendar which, being a lunisolar calendar, does not correspond to fixed days in the solar calendar. The feast of Midwinter was indeed celebrated in England, being derived from the Roman feast of Saturnalia. However, the Wheel of the Year as such is a modern Wiccan construct, combining various traditions ...

'Yule' means 'wheel', for now the wheel of the year has reached a turning point, with the longest night of the year. This is the seedpoint of the solar year, mid-winter, time of greatest darkness when we seek within ourselves to comprehend our true nature. In virtually all Pagan religions, this is the night the Great Mother Goddess gives birth to the baby Sun God, because from this day forward, the days begin to lengthen, light is waxing. The Christian religion adopted this theme as the birthday of Jesus, calling it 'Christmas'. The alternative fixed calendar date of December 25th (called 'Old Yule' by some Covens) occurs because, before various calendar changes, that was the date of the solstice.

Wheel of the Year: A Celebration of MAY DAY

A Celebration of MAY DAY

There are four great festivals of the Pagan Celtic year and the modern Witch's calendar as well. The two greatest of these are Halloween (the beginning of winter) and May Day (the beginning of summer). Being opposite each other on the wheel of the year, they separate the year into halves. Halloween (also called Samhain) is the Celtic New Year and is generally considered the more important of the two, though May Day runs a close second. Indeed, in some areas -- notably Wales -- it is considered the great holiday.
