The Sabbats


The Wheel of the Year

Eight sacred celebrations. One eternal cycle.

In Wiccan and Pagan traditions, the Wheel of the Year marks the solar and agricultural rhythm of life. It is a spiritual calendar of eight festivals — known as the Sabbats — which honor the turning of the seasons, the sun's journey, and our deep connection with the Earth.

The 8 Sabbats

🌱 Imbolc – February 1

The first stirrings of spring. A time of purification, new beginnings, and honouring Brigid, goddess of healing and inspiration.

🔥 Ostara – March 20 (Spring Equinox)

Balance returns as light and dark are equal. Fertility, planting, and awakening. Associated with hares, eggs, and the Maiden aspect of the Goddess.

🌼 Beltane – May 1

Festival of fire, fertility, passion, and sacred union. Traditionally celebrated with bonfires and maypole dances. The veil is thin.

☀️ Litha – June 20–22 (Summer Solstice)

The sun is at its peak. A time of joy, love, abundance, and honouring the light before its descent begins.

🌾 Lughnasadh (Lammas) – August 1

The first harvest. Bread, grain, and gratitude. Named after the Celtic god Lugh. A time to reap what has been sown.

🍂 Mabon – September 20–23 (Autumn Equinox)

Another moment of balance. Day and night are equal again. A time of thanksgiving and preparation for darkness ahead.

🎃 Samhain – October 31

Witch’s New Year. The final harvest and a time to honour ancestors. The veil between worlds is at its thinnest. A sacred night of divination.

❄️ Yule – December 20–23 (Winter Solstice)

The longest night. Rebirth of the sun. Celebrated with evergreens, candles, and introspection. Hope stirs again in the darkness.

Each sabbat is a mirror of your own spiritual journey. Celebrate with rituals, offerings, gatherings, and sacred rest.
