The Witchcraft Wheel of the Year is a pagan festival calendar that celebrates the different seasons and cycles of nature. It is based on the concept of the cyclical nature of life and the interconnectedness of all things. The Wheel of the Year consists of eight festivals, known as Sabbats, that mark important points in the changing of the seasons. Each Sabbat has its own unique significance and rituals associated with it. The first Sabbat on the Wheel of the Year is called Samhain, which is celebrated on October 31st. It is considered the witches' New Year and marks the end of the harvest season.
"How do you measure a year? In witch holidays, of course. The Modern Witchcraft Guide to the Wheel of the Year is a fascinating tour through the witch calendar, from Yule, the celebration of the New Year, to Samhain, the end-of-the-harvest festival, and every occasion in between, with suggestions for crafts and rituals to celebrate. Use it as a historical resource, or get together with your coven and start planning a killer Lughnasad party."-- "Bustle.com"

The Witch's Wheel of The Year
The Witch’s Wheel of the Year is my invitation to call you back to the earth, to call you home to yourself, to gather you in an intimate circle and celebrate the turning of the seasons.
The Celtic people of my land celebrated the earth’s cycles with eight festivals to honour our Earth Mother, eight points through the year where they were called to plow, sow, harvest and rest. The turning of the Wheel represents the continuing birth, death and rebirth of nature.
The Witch's Wheel of The Year follows the old calendar and my intention is to help women align themselves to the way our ancestors lived with the land and learn the ancient ways in a modern, meaningful way. I want women to reconnect with the seasons, the earth, with themselves and discover a beautiful way of living with their wild hearts.
We will gather for the eight Sabbats and in a safe and most loving space we will allow the earth's natural rhythms take us on a journey through meditation & movement, nature & nurture, ceremony & creativity, sharing & teaching.
The Witch's Wheel of The Year is dedicated to sisterhood, self-discovery and nature spirituality.
Wild women, the earth and I are calling you home 🖤

Yule is the celebration of the rebirth of the sun and the return of longer days. It is a time of hope and renewal, often represented by the lighting of a Yule log and the exchange of gifts. Imbolc is the third Sabbat on the Wheel of the Year, occurring on February 2nd. It is a festival of purification and new beginnings, symbolizing the awakening of the Earth from the winter slumber. Candles and fires are common symbols associated with Imbolc. Ostara, also known as the spring equinox, is the next Sabbat celebrated around March 21st. It is a time of balance between light and dark as the days become longer. Ostara represents fertility, growth, and the renewal of life. Eggs, bunnies, and flowers are often used as symbols. Beltane, celebrated on May 1st, is a festival of fire and fertility. It marks the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Beltane is a time of joy, passion, and the celebration of life. Maypoles and bonfires are traditional elements of Beltane celebrations. The summer solstice, known as Litha, is celebrated around June 21st. It is the longest day of the year and represents the peak of the sun's power. Litha is a time to celebrate abundance, light, and the fullness of life. Many people gather to watch the sunrise and participate in outdoor rituals. Lughnasadh, also called Lammas, is the next Sabbat on the Wheel of the Year, occurring on August 1st. It is a festival of the first harvest and the beginning of the harvest season. Lughnasadh is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the Earth and to celebrate the fruits of our labor. Finally, Mabon, also known as the autumn equinox, is celebrated around September 21st. It is a time of balance between light and dark once again, as the days become shorter. Mabon is a time of gratitude for the harvest and the preparations for the colder months ahead. Overall, the Witchcraft Wheel of the Year is a sacred calendar that celebrates the cycles of nature and the ever-changing seasons. Each Sabbat offers an opportunity for witches and pagans to connect with the Earth, honor the divine, and celebrate the beauty of the natural world. Through rituals, traditions, and gatherings, these festivals bring communities together and foster a deep reverence for the cycles of life and the interconnectedness of all beings..
Reviews for "Communing with Nature Spirits during the Witchcraft Wheel of the Year"
1. Jane - 2/10 - I was really excited to read "Witchcraft Wheel of the Year" as I'm a fan of supernatural stories. However, I ended up being really disappointed. The plot was extremely predictable and lacked any originality. The characters were one-dimensional, and I couldn't find myself emotionally invested in their journey. Additionally, the writing style was dull and lacked the descriptive language that would have brought the story to life. Overall, I found the book to be a forgettable and lackluster read.
2. Mark - 3/10 - "Witchcraft Wheel of the Year" was a major letdown for me. The whole premise of witches and magic sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat. The pacing was incredibly slow, making it difficult to stay engaged. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it hard to connect with the characters. The ending was rushed and unsatisfying, leaving many loose ends. I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver on its promises.
3. Emily - 4/10 - I expected "Witchcraft Wheel of the Year" to be a captivating and enchanting story, but it fell short of my expectations. The world-building was confusing and inconsistent, making it hard to fully immerse myself in the magical world. The characters lacked depth and development, making it difficult to connect with their struggles. The romance subplot felt forced and out of place, adding unnecessary drama to an already weak plot. Overall, this book had potential, but it failed to live up to it.
