The Wheel of the Celtic Year
is marked by four great festivals that indicate the turning points of the seasons:
Samhain, Imbolc, Beltaine and Lughnasadh.
In previous times, when our ancestors experienced their lives
intricately woven with Earth's cycles,
these magical thresholds between the worlds were celebrated by
colorful customs and rituals, stories, songs and music. 

The wisdom of the Wheel of the Year can liberate us
from our modern linear model of time,
reminding us that death yields to life again and again.

By actively participating in these natural cycles today,
we can attune ourselves to the creative forces that flow through us,
and learn how to live in harmony and balance
with ourselves and with the Earth.

IMBOLC                  BELTAINE                    LUGHNASADH                  SAMHAIN
