The Wheel of the Year Cycle
Welcome to the Mother Cycle of the 13 Moons program.
In this lunar year, we become more active within our community, as we further align ourselves with the cycles of the Moon and the Wheel of the Year.
In addition to the ritual work we will be doing together to explore the 8 holy sabbats, participants will also have opportunities to host gatherings for their group, as well as for the larger 13 Moons community (with the help and guidance of the Vision Council).
Whereas the Maiden year was about self-discovery, in the Mother Cycle we step into more consistent, dedicated practice, offering our gifts, medicine, wisdom and energy to our sacred sisterhood.
Offering and Eligibility
The Wheel of the Year Cycle will be offered annually, beginning at Yule (Winter Solstice), the start of the lunar year.
Participants are welcome to be part of the journey regardless of any past affiliation with 13 Moons, or completion of other 13 Moons programs.
This course will be offered both online (Zoom) as well as in-person, for those local to the Minneapolis area.
Craft Workshops
In this Cycle, a highlight is to come together to make our own traditional crafts related to various cultural and historical celebrations of the sabbats of the year.
This is a meaningful way to explore your heritage, by reviving customs and traditions that may have been practiced by your own ancestors.
Ritual Gatherings
The best part of the Wheel of the Year Cycle journey is when we come together outside of our Circle time to celebrate the holy sabbats of the year as a community.
Participants will have the opportunity to plan and host these ritual gatherings, incorporating elements from traditional practices as well as creating anew.
Seasonal Altars
Another way we learn to honor the natural cycles of the year is by creating our own seasonal altars. These simple practices help us connect more deeply with the Earth, as well as with the plant, animal and mineral relatives in our biomes.
