In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, Charlie and Brian, both Christopagan Druid priests, discuss the importance of connecting with the natural cycles of the sun, moon, and seasons as part of their spiritual practice. They explore how these cycles help align with the rhythms of life, drawing from Druidic and Christopagan traditions. The episode focuses on the lunar phases, equinoxes, and solstices, explaining how these times of the year can be celebrated as spiritual markers. They also delve into how the sun’s cycles, such as Yule and Alban Arthan, play into the larger wheel of the year and offer personal reflections on their spiritual significance.

Charlie and Brian emphasize that reconnecting with the seasons can help modern people, often detached from nature due to busy lives and urban living, regain a sense of spiritual grounding. They explore practical ways to observe these cycles through rituals, bonfires, and community engagement, while adding humor and personal insights. Additionally, they highlight how lunar cycles align with Creation Spirituality’s paths: via positiva, via negativa, via creativa, and via transformativa, offering listeners a way to integrate these into their spiritual lives.
