Wheel of the Year Candle Set

Wheel of the Year Candle Set

The Wheel Of The Year, is (typically) eight festivals, observing Solar energies at the solstices, and equinoxes, and the Fire energies on the cross quarter days. The Four Seasons are known as Solar Festivals, which mark the seasonal change brought by the powerful energy of the Sun. The cross quarter days are marked by fire festivals, and are usually celebrated as significant agricultural festivals. Together, the Solar Festivals and the Fire Festivals make up what we know as the Wheel Of The Year.

These 8 festivals also represent the active and dormant states of nature, people and harvests. Each of the festival days was ruled by a governing deity, whether a God or Goddess, with each region having its own associated deity. From planting to reaping to winter to summer... the seasons were of great importance to our ancestors, for their very existence depended upon plenty of rainfall, mild winters and plentiful harvests.
