Chapter 1 ~ THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR
Samhain/Witches’ New Year - October 31
Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is the Witches’ New Year. Here, we remember our past, including departed loved ones and friends. We also plan for the future with new hopes, dreams and ambitions. Part of creating a good future is releasing the negative energies of the past. In the Samhain Ritual for Remembrance and Release, we release the negative energies of the past in order to create a better future.
Yule/Winter Solstice - December 21
Yule or Winter Solstice brings the longest night of the year. From now until the Summer Solstice (June 21) daylight hours will increase. The Oak King, who brings with him the return of longer days, now vanquishes the ancient Holly King, who represents the longer nights. The Yule Mystery Meditation offers insight into the coming calendar year.
Imbolc/Candlemas - February 1
Imbolc or Candlemas is the feast of the waxing light. Imbolc literally means in milk
and corresponds to the time of year when many farm animals give birth. It is also a traditional time for initiation. We become more aware of the lengthening of the days. The Imbolc Ritual to Release Blocked Energy is the perfect spell to celebrate the return of longer days.
Ostara/Spring Equinox – around March 21
The festival of Ostara or Spring Equinox, takes place on the day when the hours of light and dark are of equal length. Ostara was the Goddess of Spring, signifying all that was new and fresh. In the past, old fires were extinguished and the grates were cleaned. Only then could new fires be lit. This is where our tradition of spring cleaning
originates. Today’s use of eggs, rabbits and hot crossed buns are rooted in ancient Pagan customs. The Balancing Eggs Ritual will help you find the correct balance in your life.
Beltane/May Eve –April 30 or May 1
The feast of Beltane or May Eve is the traditional Witches’ celebration of fertility and creative energy. On May Day, bonfires were lit, garlands were worn and carols sung. The maypole wound with red and white ribbons symbolizes the blood and milk mysteries of the Goddess. Celebrate the day with a Beltane Ritual for Love and Creativity.
Midsummer/Summer Solstice- June 21
Midsummer or the summer solstice marks the longest day of the year. Now, the Holly King vanquishes the Oak King and we begin our long descent toward the darkness of winter. The Midsummer Spell for Direction and Resolution will help you find solutions to problems and the determination to revolve them.
Lammas/Mabon - August 1
At Lammas, we can see that summer is fading as we prepare to gather the first harvest. For this reason, it was also known as loaf mass.
The ancient Celts held wakes for the harvested dead corn king. As summer is fading, give thanks for your blessings with a Spell for Appreciation and Continued Prosperity.
Autumn Equinox – September 21
This is the time for rest after labour as we head towards Samhain and complete the Wheel of the Year. Get insight into the future blessings you will receive with the Harvest Ritual of the Jewelled Cob.
Chapter 2 ~ OVERVIEW & GLOSSARY OF MAGICKAL TERMS
For untold centuries, Pagans have celebrated the annual solar cycle of the four seasons and their midpoints as festivals on the Wheel of the Year. A total of eight festivals and 13 full and new moons are rich with ancient symbolic meanings.
These eight festivals will be explored on each ritual page, together with the candles, oils, philtres, flowers and stones, as well as food and drink, which correspond or best relate to the festival. By using these time-proven correspondences we are able to generate the most powerful and effective magick*. *Spelled magick to differentiate from the stage magic performed by magicians.
At each festival we cast a spell and perform a ritual, which always contains certain preordained elements. The altar is the focal point for our energies and we set it with the appropriate correspondences; the candles, oils, philtres, flowers and stones, as well as food and drink, which correspond or best relate to the spell.
One black and one white candle are always used as altar candles. A festival or personal colour candle can be added. Additional candles will be a colour that corresponds to the energies we wish to create. A personal colour can be chosen to represent a trait or merely our favourite colour. It is an important choice, as you will use it for candles, your Witches’ cord and other spellwork. All candles are cleansed and charged before use.
