In this episode of Hex & Harmony, Michele, Tegan, and Belit explore how witchcraft and Judaism both honor the rhythm of sacred time. From the Wheel of the Year to the Jewish calendar, we trace the spirals of renewal, release, and rebirth that echo through every season.
✨ What We Talk About
The Wheel of the Year: How eight sabbats map the shifting tides of nature—four solar festivals (solstices and equinoxes) and four cross-quarter days—and how what began as a farmer’s guide has become a spiritual compass.
The Jewish Calendar: Why the Jewish calendar follows both the sun and moon, how leap years keep holidays in alignment with their seasons, and the beauty of having multiple “new years” for different facets of life.
Parallels Across Traditions:
Samhain & Sukkot: Ancestors, harvest, and honoring the past.
Yom Kippur & the Autumn Sabbats: Reflection, forgiveness, and release.
Hanukkah & Yule: Light in the darkness, faith, and renewal.
Imbolc & Tu B’Shvat: Seeds, beginnings, and the first stirrings of spring.
Cyclical Time as Sacred: Both traditions remind us that time isn’t linear—it’s a spiral. Each turn offers a chance to reflect, heal, and grow. Living in rhythm with the seasons helps us align body, spirit, and community under the same eternal sky.
🕯️ Key Takeaway
Sacred time calls us to move with life’s cycles instead of fighting them—to honor endings, celebrate beginnings, and trust that light always returns.
🌿 Your Turn
Reflect on what season of spirit you’re in right now. Are you planting seeds, tending growth, harvesting, or resting?
