Wheel Of The Year - Cycles

Embracing Cycles of Healing and the Pagan Wheel of the Year

In this episode, Courtney Pearl, a pagan witch and spiritual guide, explores the significance of cycles in healing and personal growth, connecting these cycles to the Pagan Wheel of the Year. She starts by conducting a Gaia Oracle card reading, emphasizing the theme of transformation and cycles. Courtney discusses her practices for cleansing and energizing new tarot decks, including her cleansing rituals and personal energy imprinting techniques. The episode delves into the symbolism of spirals in Celtic tradition, illustrating how life is non-linear and cyclical rather than a straight path, and how recognizing and embracing these cycles can lead to personal evolution. Courtney explains the Pagan Wheel of the Year, highlighting the connection between human life and natural cycles, from seasonal changes to the cycles of the moon, and how these cycles reflect in personal growth, productivity, and rest phases. She shares insights on the historical and cultural significance of pagan holidays, and how they relate to modern observances like Easter, while encouraging listeners to integrate these ancient practices into their lives for healing and self-awareness. This stimulating discussion also touches on hormonal cycles, the importance of recognizing personal cycles, and invites listeners to explore and respect the natural rhythms of life. Courtney wraps up by inviting questions about incorporating these practices into family life and planning for upcoming workshops focused on healing through art and understanding trauma in the body.
