Okay so I wrote my version of the wheel of the year. I wrote it as one long story and not sperate little ones. It takes place around winter solstice and ends at samhain. I decided today that I am going to celebrate only 5 sabbats (winter solstice, spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox, and samhain) and I took those and turned them into a story. lol what do you think xD?
Once Upon a Time, In a little forest on the longest night of the year there was a mother. She wasn’t any ordinary mother though, no sir, she was the Great Mother. The Mother of the whole earth. She is the one who watches over her kids, and loves and cares for them. She could feel it right in her stomach, the baby kicking around. She looked up to the sky and called to her children. Out of the forests deer and animals emerged. They circled around the Great Mother to see what was wrong. The Mother was screaming and waiting for the night to pass over. Then she felt something unusual, she felt the baby coming out, she screamed and cried in joy and happiness. She cried to her children of the earth and she yelled to them, and told them that there father was home! The animals and people looked to see the site. They too were amazed. There was a baby in her arms. This baby was shining of a bright light, and it shined all over the kingdom. Slowly did the Mother know that the cycle is all about to take place once again, but for now she fell asleep.
Months have long passed now and The Great Mother woke up. As she woke up she stretched her arms and the white blankets of snow started to melt. The birds arrived, and sang there song. the flowers started to bud, and the insects started to slowly come out. The Mother was starting to feel just right, like everything was starting to fall in place. She looked to see where her son was. He was running around, spreading his love and light to all the people, plants and animals. He Shined on them and gave them the love and nurturance they needed. He even sang them a song. The Great Mother was so happy! The Mother knew that at this time , her son wasn’t going to stay like this but she decided to let the cycle continue and live in the now.
The Earth was at its climax. It was the time when the Great Mother was at her beauty , and the Great Father has reached his maturity. All of there children together were growing at a rapid rate. The animals, insects and all the creatures were all coming out of the place. The Grass was green and the waters were blue and the Father shown down his light all day throughout these times. Things were still growing, and life was good. The Great Mother still knew that this all wasn’t going to last forever , but she told her self, let the cycle continue.
The months passed and The Great Father came to a realisation. He asked The Mother what’s happening to him and his children? She explained to him that everything is like a circle. It goes in a cycle. Life is one huge lesson. Things are born, they live, and die. She told her son that the trees will die, our children will die, but will not be lost forever. She told her son though not to worry at this time because time wasn’t yet. She told him to live life to the fullest right now, and live in the now. The Father accepted that and moved on in his life. He walked slowly across the earth watching the tree leaves fall, the animals and birds started to leave, and the insects started to die slowly. He was shocked but went with his mothers advice, he lived life to the fullest and prepared him self for what was to come.
Then the last month came. He knew something was wrong. The Great Mother slowly was turning into the Great Grandmother. She looked at her son in the eyes and told him
“This is it, things come and they go, things live and they die. There are people who came before us , and people who will come after us. When one is born in this world, they live a happy long life, but when they come to meet the end they slowly start to wither away just like our children did. Son I promise you that one day, you will come back to this earth, very soon, and you will shed your love and light all over the kingdom. Today is the day of reflection son, it is a whole new journey. Things are like a circle, we must follow that circle. Keep note son that a circle has no ends, there is no end. Follow the wheel.”
The Father Took his Mothers advice and lied there back in the forest. The earth was a little bit frozen and the mother was cold. The son looked at the world and said
“I will be back! I will shine forth my light once again, I am following the wheel.”
