The Mystic's Wheel of the Year wall calendar emphasizes universal spiritual principles. It reflects deep ecumenism, deep ecology, and social justice. It focuses on ecological and egalitarian aspects of the world's religions.
This calendar helps in understanding Deity--as feminine and masculine, within all and beyond all, as all-encompassing and universal. It's for rediscovering Goddess and God in non-patriarchal ways. It's about ancient and contemporary Nature-based spiritualities--both Western and Eastern!
The Mystic's Wheel of the Year calendar features holy days reflecting the
non-patriarchal, mystical God-Goddess roots of:
* Judaism (Kabbalah)
* Christianity (Ecumenical Mysticism/Wisdom Tradition)
* Unitarian Universalism (including Transcendentalism & Deism)
* Islam (Sufism)
* Baha'i Faith
* Buddhism (emphasizing Tantra & Zen)
This calendar also includes non-patriarchal, Nature-based holy days from the ancient
Goddess-God religions of:
* Asia (e.g., Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Jainism, Taoism & Shinto)
* North America (e.g., Iroquois, Zuni & Navajo)
* Meso America (Inca, Mayan & Aztec)
* Africa (e.g., Santeria & Egyptian)
* The Middle East (e.g., Canaanite-Hebrew & Sumerian)
* Europe (e.g., Celtic, Norse, Greek & Roman)
The Mystic's Wheel of the Year calendar also includes:
* lunar and solar cycles, visible planets, eclipses and meteor showers
* days focused on milestones/teachers/activists in mysticism and the feminist,
human rights, environmentalist, and peace movements
* experiential meditations for each phase of the moon throughout the year
* empowering meditations
* art as meditation
* simple action offerings to help the environment and further social justice
* a primer on Eco-Egalitarian Spirituality
* photos of sacred images from various traditions:

Holidays are calculated based on available information. Some have been reclaimed or reconstructed to reflect their positive, non-patriarchal, Nature-based aspects. Our intent is to be inclusive and respectful to both genders, all peoples, and all traditions.
Except where the religious tradition dictates otherwise, lunar-based dates are calculated using U.S. Eastern time.
