CYCLICAL TIME

The Wheel of the Year symbolizes the continuous movement of existence.

Birth.

Growth.

Transformation.

Renewal.

For a long time, we were made to believe that life moved in a straight line. Be born.

Grow.

Achieve.

Accumulate.

Move forward.

Always ahead.

Always upward.

If you go backward, you fail.

If you stop, you’ve lost. If you close a chapter, you might be making a mistake.

Does nature know straight lines? If there’s one thing I learned as a Feng Shui teacher, it’s that good energy doesn’t move in a straight line.

Nature turns, folds in on itself, returns and, of course, repeats… though never in quite the same way.

Time itself isn’t linear either; it forms a spiral, too. Somehow, it seems like we always come back to the same point. But you know what… there’s one thing that changes: YOU aren’t the same anymore.

Every winter is like the one before… and yet, everything is different.

Every rebirth carries memory.

When we live by the idea that time is linear, we demand constant progress from ourselves and want immediate results.

We can’t stand moving slowly; we get extremely impatient during cycles of shadow.

And here comes the Wheel of the Year. Hello? I’m here to remind you of something essential: not every moment is for moving forward. Some moments are for integrating. For closing. For emptying out.

For letting things die.

And that isn’t going backward; it’s wisdom.

Life doesn’t move in a straight line because consciousness itself doesn’t grow in a straight line; it expands in a spiral.

Do you still wonder why you keep stumbling in the same place?

Learning the same lesson?

The same wound again?

Haven’t I seen you with “fear” just the other day?

And you think you haven’t made any progress.

Haha, that’s what you think. The truth is, you have.

Now you’re looking at it with different eyes; your soul isn’t the same, your inner self isn’t the same, your consciousness is different, the truth is different, your perspective has changed.

The Wheel of the Year doesn’t push you forward; instead, it teaches you to turn with purpose—and that purpose is incredible. When you understand this, the rush disappears. The guilt about repeating the same processes disappears. The anguish over “not being where you should be” disappears.

Because there’s no line you have to follow. There’s a cycle to live and feel. And each turn brings you closer to YOU, to your authentic INNER WITCH.

Time is a sacred spiral, and each step takes you deeper as you turn.

Each turn of the Wheel integrates experience.

Each cycle expands your consciousness.

The Wheel of the Year guides you.

Reminds you.

Aligns you. And as you turn with it, at every Sabbat, your soul finds its rhythm.
