I like to think about sabbats as our little way to thank the Earth in a big way. Sabbats, unlike many other holidays, celebrate non-human events. By this I simply mean that sabbats are all natural. I think we don't realise how much the sabbats are pretty much only about the natural seasons and the way they flow. From harvest to dead harvest, upcoming spring and new-found lambs and to the winter setting in, preparing ourselves for the cold months to come. No matter what sabbat we can take notice of it's all natural and we should take pride in the fact that we are taking time to give thanks to what we have. Each sabbat relates to the season at the time, and more than likely incorporates the moon and or the sun in the rites performed. Four of the eight sabbats are often referred to as Lesser sabbats. Two of these sabbats are known as equinoxes, the other two are solstices. The equinoxes are better known as Mabon (Autumn Equinox) and Ostara (Spring Equinox) and are the two times in the year when night and day are at equal length. The solstices are Litha (Summer Solstice) and Yule (Winter Solstice) and these days celebrate the longest night (Yule) and the longest day (Litha) of the year. The remaining four sabbats, or Greater sabbats, fall between the lesser sabbat dates. These sabbats are commonly known as Lughnasdha, Samhain, Imbolc and Beltane. Personally I find that all sabbats allow us to connect with the earth more directly, as well as our inner selves, allowing us to work with the seasonal changes to have the best results in the projects we take on. More information for each sabbat can be found by selecting a particular sabbat on the menu bar to the left. While I have gone to great extremes researching the material I do not claim to be correct. Keep in mind that rituals vary from group to group and so too do celebrations and customs differ from group to group. The content found on every page on this site is entirely my own words, unless stated otherwise, and comes from what I have been taught over the years. Basic information has been given, which will change as time goes by.
