I've never really resonated with the Wiccan wheel of the year. There was a need to define or redefine earth-centered practices for an industrialized world. We had lost many of our cultural practices due to the Abrahamic religions' seeming need to control the labor force.
Alestair Crowley, Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, and so many others who followed and refined these beliefs and practices were needed to define a new path that appeared ancient.

Journey Well!
