Wheel of the Year

A Multifaith Calendar Reflecting Eco-Egalitarian Spirituality

[Wheel of the Year @WheelofYearCal]

As we sign off from twitter this New Year’s Day, after 10 years and nearly 9000 tweets, we pray for preservation of Earth’s vegetation and animals, and we pray for peace with justice and human rights for all peoples. Homage to the One that is within all and beyond all.
