The Sabbats mark the turning of the seasons and the high holy days for Witches. But more than that, each Sabbat holds teachings essential to a life lived in harmony with one’s surroundings.
Along with the Sabbats, there are 13 Esbats that mark each full moon of the year. On this page, I will be exploring the folklore and legends that correspond to the turning of the wheel and what each point has to teach us.
Tradition has it that the year begins (and ends) on Samhain. However, as we are celebrating a wheel, anywhere we pick up can be the beginning.
