Welcome to the Wheel of Segais
The Wheel of Segais is a simple but profound template for understanding the innate nature of the universe and our place within it. It is my own creation and came to me in a flash of inspiration (awen) supported by over twenty years of study in Druidry (Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids, UK), the Four Elements / Four Seasons (Dimension 33, Australia), the 12 Archetypes or Wisdoms, and many years as a Change Management and Career Consultant – “Get a Life – It’s Yours”.
All that knowledge and wisdom came together in a beautiful, simple image that I now call The Wheel of Segais or, sometimes, The Wheel of Inevitability! It allows us to perceive all that we are and all that we need as we experience the turning of the wheel of the year – the Four Seasons, the 12 streams or stages and the Well of Wisdom, the Well of Segais itself, in the centre.
The Well of Segais is the Otherworld source of the Boyne that some say lies in the navel of the Goddess Bo-Ann. It is a deep pool, surrounded by the Nine Hazels of Inspiration. The Hazel nuts ripen and fall into the pool where they are eaten by the Salmon of Wisdom. It is said that one may never be wise until one has drunk from the Well of Segais.
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of man is a circle from childhood to childhood and so it is in everything where power moves. Our teepees were round like the nest of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation’s hoop.
