It is called the wheel (sometimes the witches wheel) because it goes around and around like a wheel in a circle. That is why most pagans belive in reincarnation, you are born, you live, then you die. It repeats itself and you are born again and repeat the cycle of life.

Just look at all the Christian holidays. All of them were originally pagan, including: Easter, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, Halloween, April Fools, etc.
