During the course of the year there are special services celebrating different spiritual festivals and seasons.
These festivals are associated with the cosmic calendar, the elemental seasons, and our own spiritual development. With each special season, we open ourselves to the spiritual forces active at that time.
The Holy Week of Easter, for instance, and the season of Lent that leads us into this, is a potent time for strengthening our connection with the spirit of Christ and the Mystery of Golgotha.
The same is true of other spiritual festivals, like Advent and Christmas, and the other lesser known festivals of Pentecost, St John’s Tide and Michaelmas. They add a different perspective and colour to our understanding of the workings of the Holy Ones.
An excellent resource for contemplating and tuning into the spiritual seasons through the year is Prayers for the Seasons.
