The Wiccan calendar wheel, also known as the Wheel of the Year, is a sacred and symbolic representation of the annual cycle observed by Wiccans and other pagan traditions. It consists of eight major holidays, or Sabbats, that mark significant points in the changing seasons. The first Sabbat on the Wiccan calendar is called Samhain and is celebrated on October 31st or November 1st. It marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark half of the year. Samhain is a time to honor the ancestors and connect with the spirit world. The next Sabbat is called Yule and takes place around December 21st, the winter solstice.
Diesel 10 chases the fleeing magic engine, Thomas and Burnett throughout the Kirk Ronan sites, and even run pass Percy pulling a train, until they approach the Big Dipper. As Lady and Burnett pass, a gap appears on the viaduct. When Thomas manages to make it across the gap in time before it worsens whistling in victory, Diesel 10 brakes hard, but falls off due to his weight. He tries to hang on to a sleeper, but it breaks and he falls into a sludge barge and is towed away.
To reach that end, he intentionally directs her onto the wrong train, placing her on the train bound for Shining Time instead of the train to Muffle Mountain. When Patch sees the engine, Burnett reveals the engine s past - her name is Lady since she was sealed inside Muffle Mountain after Diesel 10 crashed and nearly destroyed her long ago.
The next Sabbat is called Yule and takes place around December 21st, the winter solstice. It is the longest night of the year and celebrates the return of the sun and the rebirth of light. Yule is a time for reflection, gratitude, and celebrating the joys of winter.

Reviews for "Litha: Celebrating the Summer Solstice on the Wiccan Calendar Wheel"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was disappointed with the "Wiccan calendar wheel" because it lacked the depth and information I was expecting. The calendar itself was very basic and only included the major holidays and sabbats, without any explanation or guidance on how to celebrate them. I was hoping for a more comprehensive resource that would provide insight into the history and significance of each holiday, as well as offer suggestions for rituals and spellwork. Overall, I found this calendar to be quite superficial and it didn't meet my expectations.
2. Jason - 1 star - I was extremely dissatisfied with the "Wiccan calendar wheel". It was poorly designed and lacked any useful information. The images used were low-quality and blurry, making it difficult to read the text and understand the symbols. Additionally, the descriptions of the sabbats and holidays were brief and inadequate. I expected a calendar that would not only provide the dates for each event but also educate and inspire me. Unfortunately, this calendar failed to deliver on all fronts and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive and well-designed Wiccan calendar.
