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
Martin Luther King, Jr.: “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”But a loving reminder, dear Heathens, it does not bend by itself. Our deeds are the force that bends it, or not. This is a great star to contemplate the arc from your foolish youth, to your present state, to whatever you might become in the future.Notes and charts for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level and higher.Want to support this work?

The Wheel turns, and The Wheel turns. Here we go again, for the first time! Our New Moon in Aquarius always kicks off a Lunar New year, but this year, it's also in alignment with Imbolc. This is a Sabbat and season of fog, dreams, abstraction, and breaking up the old forms to make way for the new.This work can be confusing, enlightening, and destabilizing. The New Moon in Aquarius is our yearly check in on our process of coming into alignment with our future, and the possibilities out in front of us. Goddesses like Brigid and Saraswati lend their skills and intellect to this work.The astrology of this week supports this work - in particular, sending a petition of hope out to the Universe - if we can only stay open to receiving the responses.In this episode we cover: the astrology and Lunar work of the week, accompanying Tarot, the Celtic Tree Month, the Runic Half Month, and tons more.Notes and charts for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level and higher.Want to support this work?

The dark is here. The shift in the Sun's path is undeniable as the days shorten and the weather grows darker and colder. The Cross-Quarter holiday Samhain (pronounced "sow-wain") is possibly the most well-known of the Sabbats. Americans celebrate it as Hallowe'en. Samhain is the true tipping point into The Underworld Journey of Winter. Learn how to incorporate archetypes and symbols that can sometimes be dark and spooky into your life as healthy and balanced forms of working with The Shadow and to help you make the final shift away from the labor and celebrations of Autumn into the stillness and and rebirth of the coming Winter season. In this two hour lecture we will take a look at the superstitions and traditions surrounding Samhain, considering how people have used revelry, shape shifting, and pranks to deal with the oncoming chaos and breakdown of Winter - or to help bring it about. Immerse yourself in the ancient global rituals of this Cross Quarter festival acknowledging the death of the Sun and the Earth discover how you can evoke this power in your own life and world. But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-7 weeks of Samhain season, learn how you can observe this time of transition for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Head Underground. Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also include magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart. See you in class, Witch!

This moon asks us to find something meaningful to fight for and/or to turn our swords to ploughshares. Witness the fullness of your process around your sacred warrior energy, the difference between being self-centered vs centered in Self. Where can we light lamps and curse the forces that would diminish that light? Spica and Arcturus oversee the dispensation of gifts, and the consequences of withholding from those in need. Thoth and Nepthys and Cernunnos and more all show up this week to help us understand the step we are taking in the Underworld Journey.

Hello Heathens. Lets ground into the energy of Autumn, Mabon, and the work presented by the eclipse New Moon. As we call in the energy of the Vine and the Grape, we must consider the Seed and the Harvest. Celestial deities like Vindemiatrix and Porrima point to the labor and the oracular voices singing in the fields. The voices come from above and below, as we observe Ancestor feeding rituals. Witches are called to attend the Scales, and engage the action of balancing the Light and Dark as we step into the Underworld Journey.

Witches! We are officially in the last 7 days of Gemini, Beltane, and Spring! The Waxing Half Moon is a Moon for adjustment and friction, both with an eye for progress and creation. Virgo is intense about organization, accounting, and getting our work done - but it can also go overboard with exacting critiques. The astro of this Moon…is probably gonna feel moody and surreal. This Moon is opposite Saturn and Neptune, and square the Sun, Mercury, and Venus.... Notes for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level and higher.

The New Moon in Gemini is a time to engage authentic communication with the people around us. It's a time to learn from our community, as well as be ready to share and teach our skills to others. Gemini covers the last four weeks of Spring and is focused on finishing up the work of Spring and changing into the shape(s) we need for Summer. On this New Moon think about: organized curiosity, versatile partnerships, learning experience based in pleasure, karma trips, the fun part of fucking around and finding out. Within the framework of Beltane, this is a powerful moment to seed projects of all kinds, start explorations, and invite in new social connections that would greatly benefit from Springtime and Beltane energies.

This portion of the lunar process, and in particular this Pisces phase can be a tough moment. We may have some experiences this week, or witness somethings in the world that really shows us the shitty side of humanity. Or in particular how the illusions of the American Dream, Capitalism, The West, the Patriarchy or Hierarchy, the Piscean Era of martyr and victim have become exhausted. A super close look at what is no longer working. And like, looking at the decaying fabric of your culture can be exhilarating and horrifying simultaneously...

This week is a mixed bag of astrology. Helpful and stabilizing at the beginning, ominous and explosive as the week goes on. If you are feeling lost, ground into your values, and get real with yourself about where you need more education. Get real with yourself around whatever privileges you may have and how you can leverage them to help the collective. Our week also offers us an interesting collection of emotions: many Pagan holy days this week are about remembering our fallen Witches and other groups who have oppressed throughout time. But, we end the week with the onset of the Holy Week of Diwali - let us utilize this moment to light a candle and not simply curse the darkness. May knowledge and compassion reign over ignorance and hate.

Our fixed stars this week point to where, when we have been given power or privilege, we are meant to utilize this power in the world for the betterment of all.

We are passing through the holy days of the Eleusinian Mysteries, witnessing the transformation of Kore/Persephone from a Maiden of Flowers to The Queen of the Dead. And Her mother, Demeter, changing from Mother of Life, to Crone and Wisdom Keeper. Mourning ancestral losses, and unavoidable change or endings is all work to clear space for the upcoming eclipses.

WITCH'S THANKSGIVING SECOND HARVEST The Wheel of the Year continues to turn for Pagans with the Quarter Sabbat MABON, also known as Fall Equinox. The high point of the Sun's arc over The Wheel is done and with that completion, we see the fullness of The Harvest come to fruition at Mabon. We have reached Fall Equinox, the Quarter-Day festival marking the half way point between Summer and Winter Solstice. Also known as Second Harvest and Witch's Thanksgiving, at Mabon we continue to explore harvest season through the cornucopia of symbols and festivals found at this time of year. The work of Mabon season focuses on shifting from the drive and ambition of Summer into the fulfillment and resolution of Autumn. Many Pagans see a form of the Goddess known as The Mother giving birth to the massive harvests being pulled in all around the northern hemisphere. In this lively 2 hour lecture you'll learn ways to help yourself and your community stay balanced as we shift from the high of Summer into the fall of Fall, and prepare for the Underworld journey of Winter. But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-7 weeks of Mabon Season, learn how you can observe this time of abundance for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Do The Work.

Horus and Set oversee our travels through the Light and the Dark. Our Moons this week ask us to think about where we put our resources and what we get out of that exchange, and a deep nostalgic dive into the past and memories.

LUGHNASADH -THE FIRST HARVEST The Wheel of the Year continues to turn for Pagans with the great Cross-Quarter Sabbat Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas. Named for the Irish God Lugh, this holiday marks the 1/2 way point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. Lugh is a Storm and Sun God with skills like crafting, fighting, musical artistry, and sorcery, and he wins the gift of agriculture for the Tuatha Dé Danann in battle. The holiday is also known as Lammas, which means loaf. Lammas Season comes to us at the hottest part of the year. It marked the beginning of the harvest season for ancient peoples in the Northern Hemisphere. But we can see this miracle of abundance in our modern world right now. Here in the Americas, the grain harvest has begun in the South and will continue up the continent until it arrives in Canada in mid-August. Green Corn Ceremony will be held by Indigenous tribes all over the country. For modern Witches and Pagans, this is a time to step into our power and begin harvesting and sharing the gold in our lives (hint: it starts with knowing how to identify it!) In this 2 hour lecture, we'll look at the origins of this ancient fiery Sabbat celebrating the bounty of the Earth. But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-7 weeks of Lammas season, learn how you can observe this time of abundance for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Do The Work. Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in.

My Good Heathens, Witches, and Pagans. The astrology of this week is wild af. This week is asking us to get supremely clear on our values, our relationship to responsibilities, and our relationship to Power and power structures. We may see some funky stuff go down in community, let's try our best not to fuel antagonistic dynamics that are bent on destruction and promoting negativity. This is a week where deities like Apollo, Perun, Mary Magdalene, and Kuan Yin are here to help us if we ask for help. If there ever was a week to not talk the talk but instead walk the walk, this is it. Witchcraft: getting clear on our motivations, Ancestor work, naked gardening Tarot: The Chariot --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/meagan-angus/message
Hello Heathens. This week's astro is taking on a funky journey through memories and difficult stories from our past. How can you show up for yourself when it feel like the Universe is picking on you? How do we move when the poison and the medicine come from the same root? Mythic figures like Castor and Pollux remind us of the power of friendship, closeness, and sacrificing glory for love, for others and Self. Tarot: Four of Cups Witch's Work: Fire divination, chill times as we approach the New Moon. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/meagan-angus/message
Witches! Our first Full Moon of Summer is here! This is a very potent time for ethical harvesting and protection magicks. But at the deep heart of our Witch's Work this week is wrangling our connections to Power and Ancestors. Family. Baggage much? Yeah, it's true for everyone that family can bring up wonderful and funky stuff all at the same time. This is a week for utilizing our Passion and Courage as well as our Maturity and Vulnerability in facing the issues and narrative we may carry from Home.

Our Islamic friends and relatives celebrate Hajj this week, the precursor to their New Year. Runic New Year also kicks off this week, and this year I encourage studying up on the Year of Aun, a Norse reconstructionist movement that is bringing back some great old traditions. Also this week we find ourselves partying with Ancient Egyptians during their amazing festival complex The Beautiful Reunion, dedicated to putting the material world (Ma'at) in order. This also leads up the New Years in the Ancient Egyptian world. New Sun, New Season, New energy! Did Spring feel sluggish? Start now! The Wheel turns, and there is always time to begin again.

LITHA - SUMMER SOLSTICE The Wheel of the Year continues to spin with the arrival of our next Sabbat, Litha, also known as Midsummer, or Summer Solstice. Litha celebrates the high point of the Sun's journey through the year. For folks in the Northern Hemisphere, we see this in long days filled with heat and light, and short nights, filled with heat and stars. And importantly for Witches and Pagans, the death of the Oak King, and the rise to power of the Holly King. Currently falling somewhere between June 18th and June 22nd each year, this Quarter Day marks the official end of Spring and start of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. What is it to work through the energy of Gemini, The Divine Twins and Cancer, the Universal Womb? We'll come into alignment with these archetypes by studying the astronomy and the astrology of the times. And we will welcome the Sun into our lives by embracing our ability to radiate our personal power. Immerse yourself in the ancient global folklore, symbols, and rituals of this Solar festival acknowledging the high point of the Sun's Arc across the sky and discover how you can evoke this power in your own life and world. But the work doesn't stop after one night! In this six week guide, we will look at the major Witch's Work for the season: Power, Transformation, Healing and Commitment and what that means for Pagans and their communities. We can utilize rituals, spellcrafting, meditations and journaling to ground ourselves in this work. Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also want close at hand magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart. These classes are offered freely to the collective thanks to the support of my illustrious Patrons.

This week contains our last Waning Half Moon and last Balsamic Moon of Gemini, Beltane, and Spring. This week is encouraging review and consolidation of all we have experienced in this portion of our cycle around The Wheel. What needs to be embraced and carried forward? What needs to be modified or adjusted? What needs to be ended and left behind? Entities like The Muses, Orion, and Fortune help us with this appraisal. Entities like Suijin, Isis, and the Spirits of Holy Waters help us bath and purify ourselves to prepare for what comes next.

BELTANE - MAY DAY / WITCH'S NIGHT - Wheel of the Year Series 2023 Spellbound The 2023 Wheel of the Year Cycle continues with Beltane, also known as May Day or Walpurgisnacht in some traditions. For many Pagans, this marks the return of The Green Man – a lusty and puckish side of The God. This Cross-Quarter Day is a popular Fire Festival ushering in the deep heart of Spring, and for some places, Summer. Falling on April 30th/May 1st each year, the date of Beltane marks the halfway point of the Spring season in the Northern Hemisphere. Lusty, mischievous, and playful, the spirit of Beltane is light-hearted but serious about fun. Marked by massive bonfires, maypoles and "greenwood marriages" that only lasted a year and a day (or one long lovely night), Beltane is a holiday focused on celebrating the fecundity and power in the exchange of energy and passion between humans. But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-8 weeks of each season, learn how you can observe this time of change for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Do The Work. Topics covered in the lecture, generally: * A look at the history of the holiday from a modern Pagan/Witch/Magickian standpoint * Comparison of concurrent holidays in other religions and traditions, with a heavy emphasis on myths, deities, archetypal themes, and symbolism * The significant astrology of the season, especially lunar * Your astrological sign, and the season, archetypes, and holidays connected to it * Astronomical and geological events concurrent with the season As well, we'll discuss ways to bring this information into your personal spiritual practice, including: * Suggestions for creating an altar * Common and traditional forms and methods of observance * Meditations for ritual use * Correlating herbs, crystals, tarot, colors, foods, crafts, prayers, and more Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also include magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart. (Or just put this on in the background while you make dinner, fold laundry, or work on a project. Make it right for you.) Folks who want more can download the Beltane 2023 workbook for $7!

What are your most fantastical dreams and hopes for the future of our world? What can you do now, in the real world, to manifest those dreams? And if you were going to ask for help in that work from your Gods, your Guides, and your Ancestors, what might that help look like? And if you got that help... would you take it?

Drifting in the Cosmic Sea, can be delightful can be delirious. This Waning Moon in Scorpio encourages us to plumb the depths of our Soul this week, and take a swim in the Cosmic Sea of Spirit.

As Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess watches over us, the past is present this week, and our Ancestors may be calling out for attention and attendance. "Ancestor" can mean a lot of things; people, places, communities. With our Full Moon in Leo we are considering the people and communities, the movements and environments that "mothered" us. And as we continue to move through Covid, many of those things may have gone away. Have you honored that loss? Our astrology this week may get a bit intense, so do whatever you need to do to have your self-care methods in place. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/meagan-angus/message
IMBOLC 2023 Wheel of the Year Series 2023 – Imbolc/Candlemas The Quickening The Wheel of the Year continues to spin with Imbolc, also known as Candlemas in some traditions. This Greater Sabbat represents a light in the darkness of Winter. The lessons we can learn about perseverance and hope at this dark time can serve us throughout the coming year. And while we are still in the frozen grip of Winter, we are dreaming of what we could sprout in Spring. Falling on February 2nd, Imbolc is the halfway mark between Winter and Spring. Purification, honoring the dead, and reconnecting to natural resources are all sacred acts. Also at this Sabbat, many Witches will rededicate themselves to their path, or dedicate themselves to a new skill, rekindling their passion for life after walking through the stillness of Winter. Explore the deep Winter hope of this Cross Quarter festival and season marked by ceremonies and magical work dedicated to light & fire, timekeeping, purification and fortitude.
