I'm working on my NANOwrimo project and the portion am writing at the moment looks at and discusses how seasons can effect our celebration of the holidays as pagans. In writing I came to an interesting realization. What follows is a excerpt from "Questions of Faith"
The globe offers pagans an interesting dynamic and problem at the same time. While have the world celebrates or grieves the death of a God at Samhain. The other side of the globe is dancing around a May pole and celebrating the conception of that same God. It makes for an interesting contradiction and offers up a real life paradox not unlike one a time traveller in a Science Fiction novel might face. The world is truly a place that is not a place and a time that is not a time apparently

It's all a matter of balance. I know that some people here in Brazil follow the North Wheel of the Year, but it makes no sense to me. The changing seasons are important to me, and I just couldn't celebrate Litha in any other time but December, even with Christmas ads on tv all the time (that is more a cultural and family tradition in my case). It's not the kind of contradition that would worry me!
