Wiccan calendar / witches annual wheel crystal grid wooden

This wiccan calender / pagan wheel of the year wooden plate is a beautiful addition to your altar or wall and a handy reference to keep.

The wiccan / witches / pagan calendar is to be read sunwise (deosil) which in the Southern Hemisphere is anticlockwise.

The Wheel of the Year is an annual cycle of seasonal festivals, consisting of the years chief solar events (solstices & equinoxes) and the midpoints between them.

The celebration of these dates is intended to encourage a way of life which is in harmony, rather than against, mother nature. The calendar functions in a nonlinear system of time, thereby removing the focus on a predefined beginning and end.

The wheel emphasises the ever-changing cyclical nature of life and is divided into eight segments. Each segment is six weeks in length and is celebrated by a designated holy day or Sabbat. The eight segments correspond to the movements of the sun and the stars and mark the passage of time which pays homage to nature and her seasons with a desire to reconnect with the spiritual practices of our ancestors. The wheel of the year follows a mixture of ancient pan European traditions as well as incorporating elements of ancient Celtic, Norse and Egyptian lore.

All of our wooden products are made with locally crafted, speciality laser ply from gorgeous Australian woods. The plywood is 3mm thick and is created from multiple fine sheets of wood to create a sturdy yet lightweight material. Plywood is highly durable and can be easily cleaned. In the event that the wood bends or warps in extreme heat or damp, it can be flattened out with a light spray of water (if too dry) and laid flat under a small weight in a cool, dry place. Due to the natural qualities of real wood, each piece we make will be unique in colour and grain.
