The Celtic Wheel of the Year is divided into eight periods, likewise the new Wheel of The Year series will be comprised of eight limited-editions, following the rhythm of the seasons, equinoxes and solstices.

Marking the beginning of spring and St. Brigid’s day, the Celtic festival of Lá le Bríde, also known  asImbolc,  is a source of hope and joy for farmers. Bríd is said to visit the homes of those who honour her, bestowing her light and protection.
