This modern-day world sees time as running in a straight line starting with Birth and moving through to Death. Our ancestors however, might have seen the cyclic nature of time and
believed that rest follows death and that rebirth follows the resting period. They witnessed that each season followed another, bringing with them their own very special attributes. Maturation, Decay and Death followed Growth, then new life was Reborn again.
Being in the flow of this cycle, like a wheel that turns ever onwards, helps us to better feel the rhythms of the world around us. A deep inner wisdom grows along with a maturing
understanding of how the cycle can be applied not only to the world but also to our
experiences within it. In order to give honour to the cycle, a festival marks each turn on the ‘Wheel of the Year’ - the best known ones being the Solstices and the Equinoxes, known as “quarter days”. The other four fall approximately midway between these and are commonly known as “cross-quarter days”. The “ cross-quarter days” mark the ending of one season
This handy guide is a useful addition to aid in your learning.
