Wheel of the Year

The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and
make the most of one's resources.
- Marquis De Vauvenargues

The rites of passage are transformational ceremonies that celebrate the biological transitions of human development and the milestones of human achievement that we all experience: birth/naming, coming of age, initiation, maturity, marriage/partnership, dedication, saging and parting. Neglecting to honor these traditional rites of passage has created an American culture that is out of touch with its own natural cycles, and for pagans, spirituality that is out of balance with the natural world that we find sacred.

Below you will find a few rituals that I created for my clan. More to come.
