| The Wheel of the Celtic Year is marked by four great festivals that indicate the turning points of the seasons: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltaine and Lughnasadh. In previous times, when our ancestors experienced their lives intricately woven with Earth's cycles, these magical thresholds between the worlds were celebrated by colorful customs and rituals, stories, songs and music.

By actively participating in these natural cycles today, we can attune ourselves to the creative forces that flow through us, and learn how to live in harmony and balance with ourselves and with the Earth. IMBOLC BELTAINE LUGHNASADH SAMHAIN |
