The Pagan Wheel of the Year calendar is a system of marking the changing seasons and the key festivals celebrated by many pagan traditions. It is based on the cycles of nature and the Earth's relationship with the Sun. The wheel is divided into eight main festivals or Sabbats, which are celebrated throughout the year. The first festival is known as Samhain, which falls on October 31st. It marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It is a time to honor and remember the ancestors and to prepare for the coming winter.
That’s partly why some women feel so connected to their vibrators, why people give their Rabbits or Bullets or Eggs names, and why toys are plot points in Sex and the City episodes. It can also help to explain why the Magic Wand has become a muse for popular feminist art, in the same way that graphics of “Nasty Women,” AOC, and cacti are plentiful on Etsy and in independent stores.
Just as being a human in 2020 means that one has access to all kinds of CBD dog treat startups, there is also no lack of sculptural vibrators on the market. But for all the sheet-clutching, toe-curling, Lizzo-song tropes we associate with a female getting herself off, the reality can often be more of an act born out of loneliness or boredom, something to do as a means to distract yourself from laundry day.
It is a time to honor and remember the ancestors and to prepare for the coming winter. Samhain is often seen as a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Yule is the festival celebrated during the winter solstice, usually around December 21st.

It celebrates the return of the Sun and the rebirth of light. Many traditions decorate trees, exchange gifts, and light candles to symbolize this return of light. Imbolc is celebrated on February 2nd and marks the first signs of spring. It is a time of purification and renewal, and is often associated with the goddess Brigid. Many pagans light candles or bonfires to honor her and welcome the increasing light. Ostara, also known as the spring equinox, occurs around March 21st. It celebrates the arrival of spring and the balance between light and dark. It is a time to plant seeds and honor the fertility of the Earth. Beltane is the festival celebrated on May 1st, often referred to as May Day. It marks the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It is a time to celebrate fertility, love, and growth. Many traditions include dancing around the Maypole and lighting bonfires. Litha, also known as the summer solstice, occurs around June 21st. It celebrates the longest day of the year and the power of the Sun. It is a time to honor the abundance of the Earth and the peak of summer energy. Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas, is celebrated on August 1st. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and the first fruits of the Earth. It is a time to give thanks for the blessings of the year and to prepare for the coming autumn. Mabon, also known as the fall equinox, occurs around September 21st. It celebrates the second harvest and the balance between light and dark once again. It is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the Earth and to prepare for the coming winter months. Each of these festivals holds its own significance and symbolism within pagan traditions. They allow practitioners to connect with the cycles of nature and to honor the changing seasons. The Pagan Wheel of the Year calendar provides a framework for observance and celebration throughout the year, allowing pagans to connect with the Earth and their spiritual beliefs..
Reviews for "Understanding the Wheel of the Year: A Look at Pagan Festivals and Rites"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Pagan Wheel of the Year Calendar. I found the design to be quite tacky and lacking in depth. The artwork was very amateurish, and the information provided for each holiday was generic and shallow. I was hoping for a more detailed and well-researched calendar that would provide me with insight into Pagan traditions and practices, but this just didn't deliver. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this calendar to anyone looking for an authentic and informative Pagan calendar.
2. John - 1 star
The Pagan Wheel of the Year Calendar was a complete letdown for me. The design was confusing and cluttered, making it difficult to read the dates and holidays. Additionally, the information provided for each holiday was limited and lacked any real depth. I was hoping for a calendar that would delve into the history and significance of each pagan festival, but this fell flat. The illustrations were also lackluster and didn't capture the essence of the celebrations. I would definitely not recommend this calendar to anyone looking for a meaningful and visually appealing Pagan calendar.
3. Rebecca - 2 stars
As someone new to Paganism, I was excited to get the Pagan Wheel of the Year Calendar, but it ultimately left me disappointed. The artwork was uninspiring and didn't evoke any sense of spirituality or connection to nature. I also found the information provided for each holiday to be lacking. It would have been helpful to have more guidance on how to celebrate each festival and what rituals or customs are associated with them. Overall, this calendar didn't provide me with the educational and spiritual experience I was hoping for, and I would suggest looking elsewhere for a more comprehensive Pagan calendar.
