The Wiccan Wheel of the Year: Celebrating Earth's Cycles in 2025

The Wiccan calendar for the year 2025 is based on the cycles of the moon and the changing of the seasons. Wicca, a modern pagan witchcraft religion, follows a calendar that honors and celebrates nature and its various manifestations. The year begins with Imbolc on February 2nd, which marks the first signs of spring and the return of light. This is followed by Ostara on March 20th, the spring equinox, when day and night are of equal length and the Earth awakens from its winter slumber. Next comes Beltane on May 1st, a celebration of fertility and the beginning of summer. This is a time of joyous festivities and bountiful harvests.
