The Earth Spirit Network is part of a Pagan tradition but also strongly part of the Unitarian Movement.
For those who follow an earth centred spirituality there is an awareness of the changing seasons and the effect they have on the natural world. The energy of life rises and falls as the sun appears to move between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The longest day, the shortest day and the two equinoxes are noted with festivals and celebrations. Between each there are other festivals, giving a total of eight for the year. The list is :-
Samhein 31st October, Remembering Ancestors and a New Year begins
Yule 21st December, Winter Solstice
Imbolc 2nd February, Preparing for spring at winter’s end
Ostara 21st March, The Spring Equinox
Beltane 1st May, A celebration of life
Lithia 21st June, The Summer Solstice
Lammas 1st August, The graint harvest
Mabon 21st September, The Autumn Equinox
