The Wheel of the Year is a
Wiccan and
Neopagan term for the annual cycle of the
Earth's
seasons. It consists of eight festivals, spaced at approximately even intervals throughout the year. These festivals are referred to by Wiccans as Sabbats.In many forms of
Neopaganism, natural processes are seen as following a continuous cycle. The passing of time is also seen as cyclical, and is represented by a circle or wheel. The progression of
birth,
life,
decline and death, as experienced in human lives, is echoed in the progression of the seasons.
Wiccans also see this cycle as echoing the life, death and rebirth of their
Horned God and the fertility of their
Goddess.

In molte
religioni neopagane, la Ruota dell'Anno rappresenta il ciclo naturale delle
stagioni, commemorato con la celebrazione di otto sabbat. Secondo il
neopaganesimo, tutte le cose della natura sono cicliche, compreso lo scorrere del tempo che viene immaginato come una ruota che gira incessantemente; lo scorrere delle stagioni si riflette nella nostra vita: nascita, crescita, declino e morte.
