Wheel of the Year

By attuning ourselves to the wheel, we connect with the energies of nature and celebrate the abundance of each season, and deepen our connection to the magick. It is the calendar that marks the changing seasons and natural rhythms of the earth recognised by Pagans and Witchcraft traditions. Consisting of eight festivals, known as Sabbats, including solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarter days, each honouring the cycles of life, death and rebirth. Through rituals, we honor the earth and our place within it.
