The Lord is born at Yuletide with the returning of the Sun. The Lady and all the Earth rejoices at His return. The Lady rests at Imbolc and prepares for the coming of the spring. Her Son grows strong and plays the games of childhood. Together They walk the fields and woods at Ostara, and all nature awakens as They pass. With Beltane They sport and play and all the land rejoices with life and vigor. At Litha They are One and the promise of the harvest gives hope of sustanance to The Children of the Earth. The Lord enriches the grain and gives His life for the creatures of the Earth at Lammas, yet the promise remains with the Lady. With Mabon the Lord and Lady give us Their bounty and the Lord moves into His dark realm where He offers peace and rest to those whose life's cycle has ended. At Samhain the veil between the worlds is thinnest and the Lady as Crone stands by the Lord in the Land of Shadows, yet still She holds the promise within Her and we bide the turning of the wheel with Her. At Yule the cycle is renewed and the Lord returns with the Sun. The wheel of the seasons is the Wheel of Life, and as the one turns, so turns the other. You are in the turning of the wheel. |
