THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR
The Wheel of the Year is an annual cycle of seasonal festivals, marking the year’s chief solar events and the midpoints between them.
CROSS QUARTER DAYS
Many ancient culture observed the Cross Quarter Days. The ancient Celts celebrated these days as they marked a significant shift in the measuring of time. There are four holidays that fall halfway between the equinoxes and solstices. The exact dates of the cross-quarter days vary each year, but they are always close to these dates, more specifically, when the Sun reaches 15 degrees. Samhain, aka All Hollows Eve, Halloween (between Oct 31-Nov 8), Imbolc, Candlemas (Feb 2), Beltane or May Day (May 1), Lughnassad or Lammas (Aug 1).
SAMHAIN
A cross quarter day that marks the beginning of winter and a New Year. It was celebrated with magic, games, costumes, and spirits of the dead. Samhain is the Celtic and Gaelic tradition that Halloween evolved from. the word Samhain (pronounced saw-win) means “summer’s end”. In the 11th and 12th centuries Samhain was celebrated on or around Oct 31, when the Julian calendar was in use. However, the Gregorian calendar is now used and has shifted the true cross-qrtr days, Samhain now falls on or near Nov 7.
Samhain is associated with the Pleiades star cluster, which is part of the Taurus constellation. The Celts believed that the Pleiades reached its highest point in the sky at midnight on Samhain, and that this was when the veil between the living and the dead was the thinnest.
