This video is Lesson 1 of Day 2 in the introductory course to Wicca. This set of video lessons will guide you through the fundamentals of Wicca in theory and practice.

A short video to understanding the Wheel of the Year in the neo pagan traditions, its origin, history, festivals and how to celebrate them. Wiccans and other pagan/heathen circles such as Celtic religions, Druidism, Dianic, Anglo-Saxon or Secular, track the change of seasons using the Wheel of the Year.

Natural processes are seen as a continuous cycle. The passage of time is also seen as cyclic and it is represented by a wheel or a circle. Birth, decline and death, as experienced in human life, is repeated as the seasons progress. The change of the seasons is traditionally celebrated in the form of holidays called Sabbats.

The history of the wheel of the year is long as it can be traced back to early agricultural practices. The solar cycle was broken into eight periods, which Wiccans today celebrate under the name of Sabbats. In order from beginning to end of the year, they are:

- Halloween/Samhain (October 31)
- Yule (December 21)
- Candlemas/Imbolc (February 2)
- Ostara/Spring Equinox (March 21)
- May Eve/Beltane (April 30)
- Litha/Summer Solstice (June 21)
- Lammas/Lughnasadh (August 1)
- Mabon/Autumn Equinox (September 21)
