The Turning Wheel

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 29

The twenty-eighth day of the year began with a golden sunrise spilling over the horizon, painting the frost-covered ground in hues of warmth. The man felt the subtle pull of change, as though the Wheel of the Year itself had turned slightly, whispering of progress and the quiet unfolding of time.

After his morning ritual, he sat with his journal and began reflecting on the concept of cycles. The lynx’s presence was a steady hum in the background, a reminder of her wisdom in walking between worlds, always aware of the rhythm of life.

He wrote:

“What cycles in my life are completing?”

“What new cycles are beginning?”

“How can I honor the turning of the wheel?”

The lynx’s energy felt near yet fluid, guiding him through the thoughts that surfaced. Inspired, he decided to mark the day with a simple ritual. Gathering small items from around his home—a piece of clear quartz, a sprig of rosemary, and a white candle—he created a circle on his altar to symbolize the wheel of time.

Lighting the candle, he meditated on the idea of balance and continuity, the way each moment flowed into the next, creating a tapestry of life. He whispered:

“I honor the cycles, the endings and beginnings. May the turning of the wheel guide me forward with grace.”

In the afternoon, he walked to the clearing in the woods where he had first felt the lynx’s presence. The sunlight filtered through the trees, creating patterns on the ground. Sitting quietly, he felt the rhythm of the earth beneath him, the steady pulse of life moving forward.

That evening, he reflected on the day’s lessons in his journal:

“The wheel turns, and with it, we are carried forward. To resist is to stagnate; to embrace is to grow. Today, I trust the turning and the journey it brings.”

The Calling

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 1 December 2024 arrived with a stillness that felt different to him. Born under the Sun of Aquarius, the Moon of Pisces, and the Rising fire of Sagittarius, he had always lived with a sensitivity to the subtle vibrations of the universe. But now, as the year turned toward its end, those vibrations became a quiet roar. He had always known his spiritual guide, the female lynx, as a watchful presence in his life—a creature of sharp vision and profound silence. In the waning days of December, her presence grew stronger. On the morning of the winter solstice, as the year began its slow exhale, he dreamt of her clearly for the first time in years. In the dream, the lynx stood atop a rocky outcrop, her golden eyes fixed on him. Around her, the stars of the night sky spun, their patterns forming images he knew but could not name. The wheel of the year turned in her eyes, and when she finally blinked, her voice entered his mind—not as words but as a knowing. “You must ...

The Gateway

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 2 The first dawn of 2025 broke quietly. The man sat cross-legged on a meditation mat by his window, the pale sunlight filtering through frost-covered glass. In his hands, he held a small journal—a new book for a new year. He wrote: “Day 1: The journey begins. I walk through the gateway of the year, uncertain but open.” His Rising Sagittarius urged him to step boldly into the unknown, but his Moon Pisces whispered of the need for compassion—for himself and the journey. He lit a candle, its flame steady in the quiet room, and offered a silent prayer to the elements. Earth for grounding. Air for clarity. Fire for transformation. Water for intuition. As the day unfolded, he took his first intentional step: a mindful walk in the woods near his home. The air was sharp with winter’s bite, but the trees stood tall and serene, their bare branches weaving patterns against the pale sky. It was here he felt her—the lynx. Though unseen, her presence was palpable, guiding h...
