Wheel of the Year: A Pagan Festival Guide

Wheel of the Year is an Android application that serves as a guide to the annual cycle of seasonal festivals observed by many modern Pagans. It provides information on either four or eight festivals, depending on the sect, including the solstices and equinoxes, known as the “quarter days”, or the four midpoints between, known as the “cross-quarter days”. The app is designed to be syncretic and includes traditions like Wicca, which often celebrate all eight festivals.

The app offers a comprehensive list of festivals celebrated by differing sects of modern Paganism, which can vary considerably in name and date. The app is user-friendly and provides a wealth of information on the cycle of the seasons, which has been important to many people, both ancient and modern. Many contemporary Pagan festivals are based to varying degrees on folk traditions. Wheel of the Year is free to download and is an excellent tool for those who want to learn more about Pagan festivals.
