The Wheel of the Year
By Dylan Masson
The Witches' Sabbats
The Witches' calendar follows the cycles of nature, and in honoring those cycles our holidays
were born. Each holiday, or sabbat as we call them, represents a transitional point in the seasons
Spring gives way to Summer which will eventually give way to Autumn, and so on... We mark these
transitions at eight times during the year. There are the four "cross quarter days", the solstices
and equinoxes, and the four "greater sabbats" at roughly midpoints between them. While we mark the
new year with Samhain, Witches see the cycle of the year as endless without any real beginning or
end. Each time we gather to celebrate a sabbat, we turn the Wheel once more.
