Sabbats and Holidays

Pagans and Wiccans around the world celebrate the eight Sabbats, or holidays, as the Wheel of the Year turns. The Sabbats are Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas or Lughnasadh, and Mabon.

Pagan and Wiccan Festival Etiquette
You're getting ready to attend your first Pagan or Wiccan festival -- that's awesome! Being prepared, though, with some simple "Do"s and "Don't"s, will help you have a much more positive experience.

2007 Southern Hemisphere Calendar
If you live below the Equator, your holidays will obviously be held at a different time than your Northern neighbors, because Pagan and Wiccan celebrations are based on agricultural events, rather than dates. If you have an upcoming event taking place in the Southern Hemisphere, feel free to email me with your information, and I'll add it to the calendar![/p]
