Honoring the seasons is a beautiful way to tune yourself into nature and connect with Mother Earth. The themes of birth, death and rebirth are played out across a year that is divided into light and dark, male and female, sun and moon, growth and rest, and heat and cold. The ancients and their predecessors saw time as a wheel or spiral divided by eight festivals.

All of these seasonal cycles allow us to pause and connect with the land and with the energy of each season, as it shifts, and reflect what that means internally and externally. Understanding how everything is naturally turning is a great way to bring peace and harmony into your life. These celebrations allow us to truly be thankful for life, love, and honor all mother nature has to offer.

Celebrating these shifts in the seasons is nondogmatic and something anyone can do, no matter your religion, age, heritage, or gender. You are invited to join us at The Green Witch for potluck dinners celebrating the eight festivals, main solar events, solstices, and equinoxes.
