Title
The Mystic's Wheel of the Year Calendar
Description
A multifaith calendar reflecting eco-egalitarian spirituality.
Additional Information
Because it accepts that Deity is ultimately mystery... The Mystic's Wheel of the Year multifaith calendar celebrates the diversity of beliefs and practices in all the world's religions. It promotes understanding of, and respect for, all religions. It includes both Eastern and Western religions. It includes both ancient and contemporary religions. It includes views considered unorthodox as well as those considered orthodox. It recognizes universal spiritual principles and the elements common amongst the world's religions. It reflects deep ecumenism.
As Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi said: "Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads, so long as we reach the same goal? In reality, there are as many religions as there are individuals." This multifaith calendar helps in exploring those different roads from the perspective that those roads all converge at the same point.
This multifaith calendar also helps in rediscovering Deity in non-patriarchal ways. It helps to explore various concepts of Deity--as within all and beyond all; as all forms and formless; as masculine and feminine and genderless; as an infinite, all-encompassing, and universal unity; and as all-embracing love.
This multifaith calendar also promotes deep ecology, social justice, and world peace. Consequently, it focuses on ecological, egalitarian, and peaceable aspects of the world's religions. It recognizes the interconnectedness, interdependence, and sacredness of all Nature. It recognizes the need for environmental healing through preservation and conservation. It recognizes the need to have respect and deep compassion for all humanity and for all animals. It recognizes the equality of men and women and the equality of all peoples. It recognizes the human rights of all. It embraces multiculturalism and rejects cultural imperialism. It recognizes that peace will only be achieved through justice, cooperation, and elimination of weapons of mass destruction.
This multifaith calendar promotes interfaith dialogue. As Dr. Hans Kung said: "There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions." And there cannot be true understanding and true acceptance of other religions without learning about the diversity within one's own faith as well as the diversity within others. And seeing the good and the beauty in them all.
And ultimately, this multifaith calendar hopes to promote love for Deity and love for all...because that is what mysticism -- and eco-egalitarian spirituality of all kinds -- is all about.

Those with a mystic perspective believe that the Truth is unknowable. They believe that all beliefs and practices are legitimate if inspired by love for Deity, love for humanity, and love for Nature. Thus, mystics respect the life-affirming (non-harmful) beliefs and practices of all, whether those beliefs and practices are similar to, or different from, their own.
