Spinning The Wheel

Meagan Anguswww.meagananagus.com
Spinning the Wheel is The Pagan Wheel of the Year, but it is so much more than just 8 holy days. We take a look at how Pagans, Witches, Heathens and other polytheists, ancient and modern, celebrate their holy days, and we also take a look at what everyone else is doing, developing our connection to our own path, as well as deepening our empathy for our fellow humans. I have been teaching this material for over 20 years, but this podcast is still in its experimental stages, and so is a little rough around the edges, but ya gotta start somewhere! Learn more at www.meaganangus.com. Blessed Be!

Our Lunar work this week in alignment with Roman festivals like Terminalia call us to witness the true end of Winter. And festivals like Carnival, Baba Marta Day, and Maha Shivaratri remind us of the Holy Fire we carry inside, even as we face adversity, scarcity, and hardship.
