Wheel of the Year
Annual cycle of seasonal festivals observed by modern and historical pagans
Wheel of the Year
The Wheel of the Year is an annual cycle of seasonal festivals marking the year's chief solar events (solstices and equinoxes) and the midpoints between them. Modern pagan observances of the cycle adapt a range of folk traditions to varying degrees. British neopagans popularized the Wheel of the Year in the mid-20th century, combining the four solar events ("quarter days") marked by many European peoples, with the four midpoint festivals ("cross-quarter days") celebrated by Insular Celtic peoples. Some Wiccans use the term sabbat () to refer to each festival, represented as a spoke in the Wheel. Different paths of modern Paganism vary regarding the particular timing of each observance, based on such distinctions as the lunar phase and geographic hemisphere.
