Spinning the Wheel is The Pagan Wheel of the Year, but it is so much more than just 8 holy days. We take a look at how Pagans, Witches, Heathens and other polytheists, ancient and modern, celebrate their holy days, and we also take a look at what everyone else is doing, developing our connection to our own path, as well as deepening our empathy for our fellow humans.
I have been teaching this material for over 20 years, but this podcast is still in its experimental stages, and so is a little rough around the edges, but ya gotta start somewhere! Learn more at www.meaganangus.com. Blessed Be!
Meagan Angus explores the symbolism, history, and practices of Litha, offering a six-week guide to Midsummer traditions.

2026 Imbolc Season Waning Moon in Scorpio Lunar Week 52
Another end, and another beginning. Aquarius and the first half of Imbolc are over, and we approach the New Moon, the start of Pisces, and the start of the New Lunar New Year. As we pass through this portion of the Wheel, we pass through some very important fixed stars. This collection of stars always reminds me of the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” But a loving reminder, dear Heathens, it does not bend by itself. Our deeds are the force that bends it, or not. This is a great star to contemplate the arc from our foolish youth, to our present state, to whatever we might become in the future.
Notes and charts for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level and higher.

2026 Imbolc - A Six Week Guide to Candlemas with Meagan Angus
The Wheel of the Year continues to spin with Imbolc, also known as Candlemas in some traditions. Join my Patreon to get a 20 page workbook (link below) with a ton of info including astrology transits for 2026, journaling suggestions, ritual pieces, and more!
This year's class is def more theory and theology, less customs and crafts. That said, every year different information comes forward to be discussed so I recommend watching previous years to learn more.
This Greater Sabbat represents a light in the darkness of Winter. The lessons we can learn about perseverance and hope at this dark time can serve us throughout the coming year. And while we are still in the frozen grip of Winter, we are dreaming of what we could sprout in Spring. Falling on February 2nd, Imbolc is the halfway mark between Winter and Spring. Purification, honoring the dead, and reconnecting to natural resources are all sacred acts. Also at this Sabbat, many Witches will rededicate themselves to their path, or dedicate themselves to a new skill, rekindling their passion for life after walking through the stillness of Winter. Explore the deep Winter hope of this Cross Quarter festival and season marked by ceremonies and magical work dedicated to light & fire, timekeeping, purification and fortitude. Learn how to make the most of your Winter hibernation, clearing the way for the growth of Spring!But the work isn't done after one night! We’ll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-7 weeks of Imbolc season. We will learn how to observe this time of dreaming and initiation for yourself or with your community. And get ready to Do The Work. Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also include magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart. IMBOLC WORKBOOK: Folks who would really like to dig in can subscribe to my Patreon at the Venus level or higher get access to a 20 page workbook (and a lot more.)

2026 Litha - A Six Week Guide to Midsummer
Published 9 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] This is part of our reflection that we want to think about right now is, where have I been since spring? In spring, we kick off a whole bunch of experimentation. We light a bunch of fires. We kick off a bunch of projects. In Litha, which is a name that we get from Old High German, Old English, Old Norse, we move out of that experimentation and testing ground of spring and into the commitment of some of these projects. And that commitment is really required of us in summer. So when we're here, whoop, like wait, I pushed the wrong button. So when we are here and we are hanging out in this season, We are focusing a lot of our witchy work on ideas like power, determination, confirmation, healing, nurturing, protection, and embodiment.
