The Wheel of the Year is a diagram of your connection with Nature. It keeps you attuned to the natural rhythms of Gaia through the eight Sabbats that mark the changing cycles of the seasons. There are four fire festivals, evenly spaced throughout the year, celebrating the transition of the Sun through the seasons. These include Samhain (Oct 31), Imbolc (Feb 1), Beltane (May 1), and Lughnasadh (Aug 1). These festivals are often combined with the solstices and equinoxes which are thought to be non-Celtic in origin, such as from Germanic Paganism or Neolithic sources. The quarter festivals are movable feasts, depending upon the position of the Sun.
