The Wheel of the Year is the old way of moving through the year and its equinoxes and solstices. It really is about living the seasons and of sensing them, for although there are dates upon the wheel, one may intuitively know when a time has ‘arrived’, for instance you may feel it in your bones that spring has spring or that autumn has arrived. It is the way of living with nature, of being attuned to her but also to your finer senses too.
This Wheel is often seen as New Age, Pagan, Wiccan, Druid etc, etc. Take it as you will, the Wheel of the Year makes sense and I will add more about each section in due course and I am working on a painting of both the wheel and also the tree calendar which will also be shared with you.
