Wheel of the YearDepicting the eight Pagan holidays or
Sabbaths, the Wheel of the Year is laid out as a traditional wooden wheel. Each
pie-shaped section is a carved representation of a particular holiday. The
Quarters: Yule, Ostara, Midsummer, and Mabon focus mainly on the movement of the
sun and contain alchemical symbols for the seasons. Each of the Cross Quarters:
Samhain, Imbolg, Beltane, Lughnasadh feature one of the four tools and portrays
the transition of our relationship to the Earth as the year progresses. Zodiac
signs depict the movements of the stars throughout the year and illustrate how
they relate to the holidays.

Cerridwen |
|
a Celtic Goddess, was known for creating a magical
brew that was stirred for a year and a day to produce the Three Drops of
Inspiration. These were stolen by a young boy who grew up to be known as
Taliesan, a great bard and wizard. The myth of the Goddess' pursuit of this
thief involves a dramatic series of shape changing. Cerridwen was the muse
who brought inspiration to poets, musicians, writers and those of the creative
arts. Historically, Celtic bards were known as Credo, children of Cerridwen. |

Celtic Cross |
The Celtic Cross,
or wheeled cross, is derived from the ancient Chi-Ro monogram, which is the
name of Christ in the Greek alphabet. It was used to represent the nimbus
or halo behind the heads of Christ and the saints. To the Celts it closely
resembled ancient solar symbols. The basic symbolism is of the world-axis,
or the link between Heaven and Earth. The edges are decorated by Celtic
key patterning.

Faerie Pentacle
This pentacle design sprang from an event that
occurred during a consecration ritual. Each invoked element took form slowly,
swirling, swimming, and spinning around the altar paten. Each group of
elementals greeted the newest with tenderness, appreciation, mischief, and
joy. Like loving brothers and sisters, they danced the dance of creation
and became distinct in these forms. The sprite represents Air, the dragon
Fire, the mermaid Water, and the satyr Earth. Needless to say the magic
was quite successful. I was enthralled and honored to witness this beautiful
event, which happens perhaps all the time. P.B.
