Southern Wheel of the Year

The Southern Wheel applies below the Equator, in the Southern Hemisphere, and is based on the British/European Wheel.

It is not the same as the Wuruma Wheel. (Click Wuruma Wheel label at end of article.)

I celebrate the Southern Wheel because it is the community standard in Neopagan Australia, and because it is similar to that celebrated by my British and European ancestors.

(Dates are approximate, excepting Vernal Equinox.)
