I am a newbie..just wanna know what is the importance of the wiccan seasons in my practice of magick..like the summer solistice and the like? Do I need to know those things? thanks your answer is greatly appreciated.
It is better to know them than not to know them. This is a simple logic of knowledge, no one else can fool you when talking about this topic. It is not necessary to know them, but I will suggest you to at least look at it.
Wicca is a religion. The seasonal celebrations are religious holidays (i.e., the wheel of the year: Beltaine, Midsummer, Mabon, etc., the equinoxes and solstices).
These religious holidays are a pivotal part of being Wiccan, kind of like how Christmas and Easter are a pivotal part of being Christian.
There are times of the year when the veil that separates our world
form the spiritual world is thinner. This makes magical workings more powerful as more energy get thru, this is also why moon cycles,night and planetary alignments matter! It is not just about
fun and games of celebrating but empowering magical works that are
performed here on earth there are many powerful spells and rituals
that can only be performed once a year. Knowledge is key knowledge
is POWER!!!
