The axis wobbles, but the spin does not.
So what I said certainly stands.
Also, seasons are not caused by any wobble. They are caused by the orientation of the Earth's axis not being parallel to the axis of its orbit around the Sun. It causes the Northern and Southern hemispheres to alternately receive less sunlight for half the year, and more for the other half, than they would were the Earth's spin axis parallel to its orbital axis.
