The Wheel of the Year and the Tree of Life

John Michael Greer has an intriguing article describing the correspondences between the Wheel of the Year and the Tree of Life posted on the AODA website (The Tree of Life and the Wheel of the Year). He also provides more correspondences in The Druidry Handbook and The Druid Magic Handbook. Manly P. Hall included other correspondences in The Secret Teachings of All Ages, as did Sharlyn Hidalgo in The Wisdom of the Celtic Tree Ogham.

Some of the correspondences are in lists. Some are in tables. Some are in prose. My favorite, though, is JMG's graphic of eight circles in a circle around a central circle.

I've expanded on his idea, creating a series of circles to organize the correspondences of the eight festivals, the Spheres, the Tarot, the Elements, the Ogham, and the phases of the Moon. I haven't included any new insights, just tried to organize the information so I could see the relationships easier. (I did assign Tarot cards for Tiphareth and Yesod, though.) The graphics are linked below as a PDF.
