The Lunar Wheel of the Year (Wicca 101 - Lecture Notes)

Wiccans view the calendar year as a wheel. This wheel progresses from one season to another and back again in a cyclical fashion.

There are eight solar holidays in the Wiccan calendar. These holidays are called the Sabbats.

There are thirteen moons in a Wiccan lunar year. Each of these moons emphasize the different energies through which both you and the earth are progressing.
