The Eight Ancient Sabbats

Sabbats are based on nature’s natural rhythms and seasonal shifts.

Sabbats mark transitions in nature through the seasons and major points of the solar and lunar cycles — with a close eye on the moon cycles and sun. Sabbats are based on nature’s natural rhythms and seasonal shifts. These eight nature holidays come around every 6 weeks shifting slightly in a 365-year cycle dedicated to the God Spirit.

The eight Sabbats are divided into eight sections, dividing the year equally, marking the beginning of each season and the mid-points. There are two categories: the lesser sabbats and the greater sabbats.

Lesser Sabbats: Solstices and Equinoxes

Yule: Winter Solstice

Ostara: Spring Equinox

Litha: Summer Solstice
