The Wheel of the Year

An Overview

The Wheel of the Year represents the cycle of seasonal festivals celebrated in modern Pagan traditions, including Wicca. It consists of eight Sabbats marking key seasonal and agricultural transitions, divided into Greater and Lesser Sabbats.

Greater Sabbats

These Sabbats are deeply rooted in folklore and celebrate life, death, and rebirth.

Lesser Sabbats

These Sabbats align with the solar cycle, marking the solstices and equinoxes.

Conclusion

The Wheel of the Year serves as a spiritual guide, allowing practitioners to align with nature’s cycles. Through these celebrations, individuals honor the rhythm of life, the balance of light and dark, and the eternal cycle of renewal.
